NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Since the Oilers franchise landed in Tennessee, the upper right chest of Titans practice jerseys has been prime real estate.

Now the Titans’ new partnership with Vanderbilt Health does not include the practice shoulder patch, so that space is available.

I don't know the finances, of course. But that patch is omnipresent.

Every OTA interview. Every training camp clip. Every practice highlight, it's there.

Outside of the Titans’ primary logo, few marks have been more consistently visible since 1997.

Some team sponsorships feel peripheral. That one doesn’t.

If you want true, daily association with the football product, that patch is the call.

I wonder who'll make it.
