After scrapping them last season to make way for their Houston Oilers throwback uniforms, the Tennessee Titans will carry again their gentle blue alternate jerseys for at the least one recreation in 2024.
“The Titans will be wearing the Oilers throwback uniforms again in 2024, I can tell you that for starters,” crew reporter Jim Wyatt mentioned in a current mailbag. “Which games, and for how many games, is yet to be determined.
“A year ago, the Titans wore them twice – vs the (Houston) Texans and (Atlanta) Falcons – after considering wearing them three times.
“Also, the team plans to bring back the light blue Titans jerseys for at least one game in 2024, as well, as long as there are no manufacturing delays or a last-minute change of heart.
“I know a lot of fans enjoyed seeing those, so the plan is to bring them back. So, the planned jerseys for 2024 will be the Titans navy blue, Titans white, Oilers light blue throwbacks and the Titans Columbia blue.”
As Wyatt talked about, the Titans honored their roots as the Oilers by wearing the throwback uniforms twice in 2023, together with a 28-23 win over the Falcons on Oct. 29 and a 19-16 overtime loss to the Texans on Dec. 17.
They tried to put on them as soon as extra throughout their 28-27 win on the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night time Soccer on Dec. 11, but the NFL ultimately denied that request.
Groups can solely put on alternate or throwback uniforms a complete of 3 times every season, so the sunshine blue jerseys didn’t make an look as Tennessee held out hope the league would change its thoughts.
We’ve beforehand talked about our sources have indicated the Titans would finally like so as to add a white highway model of their Oilers throwback uniforms to the rotation, as effectively, a la the Dolphins with their 1966 set.
However to ensure that that to occur, they’d should drop the sunshine blue jerseys as soon as once more, as league guidelines at present solely allow 4 totally different jerseys per crew every season.
“As for Oilers white away uniforms, nothing is in the works (for this season),” Wyatt mentioned. “Maybe down the road…”
