Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Titans of New York” logo thing, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rabbit hole. I started out just wanting to make a cool graphic for a personal project, figured I’d grab the logo and tweak it a bit, you know? But it turned into this whole history lesson.
First off, did you know that the Titans of New York are now the New York Jets? Yeah, mind blown, right? I sure didn’t. They were one of the big shots in the old American Football League back in the day, kind of a big deal. Anyways, they started as the Titans in 1959, way before I was even a thought. They switched to the Jets in ’63, which is probably why I didn’t know about the Titans name. My bad, I guess.
So, I started looking for the Titans logo, and let me tell you, it was slim pickings. Lots of Jets stuff, obviously, but not much for the Titans. I ended up checking out a bunch of those logo websites, you know the ones. There was this one, it had like 20 different versions of the logo. Some were pretty rough, to be honest, but I did find a few good ones.
- I started with a simple search.
- I browsed through several logo websites.
- I found approximately 20 versions of the logo.
- I filtered them by quality.
Then I stumbled upon this official league site, that had some info about the Titans. Apparently, they unveiled their logo back in the day, and it was a whole event. Who knew team logos were such a big deal? I mean, I guess they are, but still.
And the colors! Navy blue and gold originally. When they became the Jets, they switched to green and white. I guess they’ve stuck with those colors ever since. They played around with some black as an accent color at some point, it seems.
There’s even more to it! When the team moved and became the Tennessee Titans, they changed it to this whole circle thing with stars and a flaming “T”. I guess the stars represent parts of the state or something. It’s all pretty intricate when you really start looking.
The Logo Hunt
Here’s the thing: finding a high-quality, official version of that original Titans of New York logo is tough. I spent hours on this, guys. But I managed to piece together a decent version based on what I found, combining a few different sources and cleaning it up. It wasn’t easy, but I finally got something I was happy with.
So, yeah, that’s my story about the Titans of New York logo. It was way more involved than I expected, but hey, I learned something new. And I got a cool logo for my project, so that’s a win.
