Tennessee Tadpoles

After nearly 11 years in Nashville, I have slowly but surely been converted into, at best, a fair weather Tennessee Titans fan. It’s hard not to root for your hometown team a little bit..especially when your quarterback has possible suicidal tendencies and refuses to call his mother every night, or our formerly famous nicknamed cornerback had more felonies than minutes of playing time. That has all the makings for lifelong fan loyalty. Although, I do have one small quam with my local pro football team. Who hired their graphic designer? It has irked me since its inception. The Tennessee Titans logo has to be one of the worst designs in all of major league sports. Sure, I could be from San Diego where bolts of lighting dart across the helmet and jerseys of their Chargers or from Jacksonville where their Jaguar, with its grotesque teal tongue, could devour my body in seconds, but alas I’m from Nashville where we will get our poor perspective, flaming sperm/tadpole all over you..and that’s just gross. I mean Titans..that’s pretty scary, right? Well.. how about a matching fearsome logo? I think the problem lies in that most people have no idea what a Titan is ..I’ll admit..I just wiki-ed it. So here begins my petition to replace the Titans’ logo with Kronos’ sickle, Coeus’ fearsome brainwaves or at least a big sharp sword..because if nothing else swords are and have always been scary. At this time in professional football when it lags behind all other professional sports in viewership and general popularity due to its poor graphic design team, I beg of you, please petition to give the Tennessee Titans a new logo.
