    I also recall a movement to try and tie the team in with Tennessee's longstanding musical tradition. One suggestion I found particularly awful was the "Hound Dogs".....an weak attempt at connecting with the whole Elvis Presley thing.

    Way too Memphis of a name for a team playing outta Nashville.. And Elvis was from Mississippi to boot.. Copperheads might have been good (without that silly orange getup). With towns that are famous for Blues and Country there's no way a team in TN could go with Jazz as a name. As Nashville is the "Athens of The South" The Titans makes sense - though I'm sure the rest of the state would not agree - and the rest of the country would have no clue about the Athens reference.

    Titans was the best choice in the end. Strong and long lasting name.

    I think I could have lived with Copperheads too. The rest are duds.

    Those names are all pretty awful. One thing I was kinda hoping for, in one of the NFL Quarterback Club games for N64 there was a create a team named the Titans with a logo of this gold statue holding up the world, I always thought it looked really cool. Once I heard Tennessee would be called the Titans I was hoping they would buy that logo or use something like it, but I'm OK with the logo we have now.

    I'm sure the 'Tennessee Kings' was suggested at some point. Another weak attempt at trying to link Elvis, I imagine.

    The Copperheads was one of the top choices.
