How did you uninstall it? If you somehow deleted it from inside  
TextMate, and the theme was outside ~/Library, TM will record it as  
having been deleted, rather than remote it from disk.

To reset the state of deleted (default) themes, execute the following  
from Terminal (while TM is not running):

     defaults delete com.macromates.textmate  
OakThemeManagerDeletedThemes

Try cat the theme to see if it is intact -- e.g. grep it through ‘pl’.
