[[File:AFCS-Uniform-TEN.PNG|thumb|left|The Tennessee Titans uniforms used from [[1999 Tennessee Titans season|1999]] to [[2017 Tennessee Titans season|2017]].]]

When the team debuted as the Houston Oilers in 1960, its logo was an oil rig [[derrick]]. Except for minor color changes throughout the years, this logo remained the same until the team was renamed the Titans in 1999. The logo was originally called "Ol' Riggy", but this name was dropped before the [[1974 Houston Oilers season|1974 season]].

The Oilers' uniforms consisted of blue or white jerseys, red trim, and white pants. From 1966 to 1971, the pants with both the blue and white jerseys were silver to match the color of the helmets. The team commonly wore light blue pants on the road with the white jerseys from 1972 to 1994, with the exception of the [[1980 Houston Oilers season|1980 season]], and selected games in the mid-1980s, when the team wore an all-white road combination. For selected games in 1973 and 1974, and again from 1981 through 1984, the Oilers wore their white jerseys at home. Coach [[Jeff Fisher]] discarded the light blue pants in 1995. From 1960 to about 1965 and from 1972 to 1974, the Oilers wore blue helmets; the helmets were silver from 1966 to 1971 and white from 1975 to 1998.

From 1997 to 1998, when it was known as the Tennessee Oilers, the team had an alternate logo that combined elements of the [[flag of Tennessee]] with the derrick. The team also wore its white uniforms during home games. In its two years as the Tennessee Oilers, the team wore its colored jerseys for road games against the [[Miami Dolphins]] and a [[NFL on Thanksgiving Day|Thanksgiving Day]] game against the [[Dallas Cowboys]]. It wore all white exclusively in its last year as the Tennessee Oilers.

When the team was renamed the Titans in 1999, it introduced a new logo that was a circle with three stars representing the state's [[Grand Divisions of Tennessee|Grand Divisions]], containing a large "T" with a trail of flames similar to a comet. The uniforms consisted of white helmets, red trim, and either navy or white jerseys. White pants were worn with the navy jerseys, and navy pants with the white jerseys. On both the navy and white jerseys, the outside shoulders and sleeves were light Titans blue. In a game against the [[Washington Redskins]] on October 15, 2006, the Titans wore their navy jerseys with navy pants for the first time. Since 2000, the Titans have worn their dark uniforms at home. They have worn white at home during daytime contests in September home games to gain an advantage with the heat, except in the [[2005 Tennessee Titans season|2005]], [[2006 Tennessee Titans season|2006]] and [[2008 Tennessee Titans season|2008 season]]s.

In 2003, the Titans introduced an alternate jersey that was light Titans blue with navy outside shoulders and sleeves, which was worn with blue pants. Until 2007, they wore the jersey twice in each regular-season game. They always wore the Titans blue jersey in their annual divisional game against the [[Houston Texans]] and for other selected home games. Their selection in those games was representative of the organization's ties to Houston and the AFL. On November 19, 2006, the Titans introduced light Titans blue pants in a game against the [[Philadelphia Eagles]]. In December 2006, they combined the Titans blue pants with the Titans blue jersey to create an all Titans blue uniform. [[Vince Young]] appeared in this uniform in the cover art for ''[[Madden NFL 08]]''.

During the 2006 season, the Titans wore seven different uniform combinations, pairing the white jersey with all three sets of pants (white, Titans blue, navy blue), the navy jersey with the white and navy pants, and the Titans blue jersey with navy and Titans blue pants. In a game against the [[Atlanta Falcons]] on October 7, 2007, the Titans paired the navy blue jersey with the Titans blue pants for the first time. They wore the navy blue jerseys with the light blue pants against the [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]]. The team paired the Titans blue jerseys with the white pants for the first time in a home game against the [[Indianapolis Colts]] on November 14, 2013. In 2008, the Titans blue jerseys became the regular home uniforms, with the navy blue jerseys being relegated to alternate status but not worn until 2013.<ref>{{cite web|last=Samuel|first=Michael|title=Titans Decide To Change Their Home Uniform|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/35313-titans-decide-to-change-their-home-uniform|website=Bleacher Report|date=July 6, 2008|access-date=December 27, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100722195036/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/35313-titans-decide-to-change-their-home-uniform|archive-date=July 22, 2010|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2009, the Titans and the [[Buffalo Bills]] began the 2009 NFL preseason in the Hall of Fame Game. Played at Canton's Pro Football Hall of Fame Field at [[Fawcett Stadium]] on August 9, 2009, the game was nationally televised on [[NBC]]. The Titans defeated the Bills, 21–18.<ref>{{cite press release|title=Bills vs. Titans in 2009 Hall of Fame Game|url=http://www.profootballhof.com/news/bills-vs-titans-in-2009-hall-of-fame-game/|publisher=Pro Football Hall of Fame|date=January 31, 2009|access-date=December 27, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160101160931/http://www.profootballhof.com/news/bills-vs-titans-in-2009-hall-of-fame-game/|archive-date=January 1, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> In honor of the AFL's 50th anniversary, the Titans wore Oilers' uniforms for the game.<ref name="x294">{{cite web | title=Titans/Oilers franchise, AFL celebrates 50th anniversary in 2009 | website=TennesseeTitans.com | date=2009-02-17 | url=https://www.tennesseetitans.com/news/titans-oilers-franchise-afl-celebrates-50th-anniversary-in-2009-394665 | access-date=2024-08-29}}</ref> In 2009, the team honored former quarterback [[Steve McNair]] by placing a small, navy blue disc on the back of their helmets with McNair's white number nine inside of it.<ref name="k173">{{cite magazine | title=Titans to wear No. 9 decal in honor of slain QB McNair | magazine=Sports Illustrated | date=2009-08-06 | url=https://www.si.com/nfl/2009/08/06/titans-mcnair | access-date=2024-08-29}}</ref>
