They sponsor the best baseball, football, basketball, golf and female athlete in the world and they're having problems.

I think they have no street cred. Well to do white kids round here wear the pizz out of UA and so do their daddy's. When you live in one of the golf meccas, Jordan Spieth is more important than Seth Curry or LeBron James for that matter.

They're getting their money's worth out of Spieth.

Which is why they ventured into the basketball sneaker game... Signed one of the best in Curry, but they aren't capitalizing due to some bad designs. It's hard to compete with entrenched brands, especially Jordans in the cities. But with decent design they would at least get a "foot in the door."

These throwbacks are going to be pretty sweet.

Eh. They're given out for damn near anything. Yeah Jaylon Smith, Reuben Foster, Joey Bosa will make enough plays to cover a helmet in stickers. But look at a Buckeyes helmet in the scUM/OSU game and you'll see a ton that are covered. It's like a participation trophy

Like it-small stars like Ara did or maybe small shamrocks.

Don't particularly like the numbers but they could be much worse (see Tampa Bay). My biggest worry is that the uniform is so busy that any combination that's not monochromatic looks like way too much. So the Navy helmet - Navy Jersey - Navy Pants look good. But something like Navy helmet - Titan Blue Jersey - White Pants looks totally disjointed and overwhelming. Seems like we're going to look good some weeks and bad others. Not as great as it could have been but there are ways it could have been worse.

uniforms where the helmet shade and the uniform shade are close but don't match always drive me crazy. this is another instance

I really like that new helmet color for the Titans. I agree though, if they try to combine all the shades, it won't look right. I do think if they wore the new helmet, "Titans" Blue jersey, and navy blue pants that would look nice.

Not exactly what I ordered but they come in 14's so I'll give them a shot. So ugly they're cute.

The alternates are particularly terrible. They look like bad Tennessee uniforms with Auburn helmets.

the shoulder strips and collars are equally crappy looking on their own but putting them together on same uniform is so ugly

Whomever thinks maroon and orange is a good color combo has to be color blind. That combo is so hokie. Yes, I said it.

Yeah I love the sunburst... my dad had a really good travel ball softball team in the 1980s that he coached. He modeled their uniforms after those but it was all shades of green and black instead of yellows and oranges...they were amazing.
