NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard is one of the lucky group of confidants who got a sneak glimpse of the team's new uniforms, but he isn't letting the cat out of the bag. One note he did reveal is that he likes the uniforms and he believes the fans will, too.
The new uniforms have been the talk of the Titans' fan base for much of the offseason. Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk has said the uniforms will have significant changes, but it won't be a total reconstruction. The uniforms will be unveiled during a downtown Nashville street party on Wednesday night.
"I think everybody is hyped. I've seen the jerseys, so I know what they look like. I think all the fans are going to be super excited," Byard said. "April 4th, you should come out and see them. It's going to be a big event. I know for our owner, that's been like her baby."
Byard, like others who have been privy to the new-look jerseys early, had to sign a nondisclosure agreement which instructed him to keep details close to the vest. He has obliged, only giving his general impression of the jersey even though he's been asked by multiple teammates. He's told them they'll like it when they put it on and see it in person.
"Of course I like them," Byard said. "I'm not going to give any hints or anything like that, but they'll be great uniforms and I think we're going to be the talk of the league in a couple days."

The Titans' new uniforms, which they've branded as "tradition evolved," come on the 20th season of the franchise in its current name state. People have posted different ideas about leaks over the coming days, but there is still a large mystery around the reveal and it is expected to draw a large crowd.
Pre-party festivities begin at 4 p.m. CT and the entire event is scheduled to run until a little after 9 p.m. Florida Georgia Line will perform after the unveiling, which is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Titans cornerback Logan Ryan is among those curious about how the uniforms will turn out.
"I haven't seen them -- I'm not All-Pro yet, so I haven't had the luxury of what KB saw," Ryan joked. "I've heard good things. I think it's cool. The direction we're in, I think we've been really close with this Predators wave in Nashville and see how excited the city is getting. We're on our way up."
