What does everyone think... Not bad. I don't like Nashville's colours to begin with, but I think they did a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saskhab Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I think it's a great new jersey. The colour scheme is kind of U of Michigan. Yellow should be used more by teams, was getting disappointed by more and more boring navy blues we were seeing popping up everywhere (including Nashville). The white version of this jersey actually might be one of the sharpest whites in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbp Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I like the white one, but... that yellow is pretty rough in my opinion... Reminds me of the Buffa Slug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's an improvement on the previous jersey, which was one of the most hideous in recent NHL history. But it's still pretty shite. The piano keys and guitar motifs are on the right track, but they're so subtle as to be almost unnoticeable. Part of the problem is the team name, which has absolutely nothing to do with the community. Given that Nashville has a really clear and distinct identity as a community, it's always appalled me that the team went with such a generic brand name - all too typical of today's soulless corporate mindset. Teams should be named in a way that reflects local content (the Canadiens, Maple Leafs (!), the Blues, the Devils, the Sharks, etc.), or else go with a totally eccentric appellation (Red Wings, Blue Jackets). Lame-ass names like 'Predators' and 'Raptors' ought to be banned from the sports vocabulary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the logo of the Predators is a local reference, referring to a sabre-toothed tiger skeleton that was found in the city's downtown in the 70's. The logo was chosen first, the name was chosen to represent the logo. I don't think this puts it in the category of choosing a team name based on an animal that has gotten into the popular conscious via a Hollywood movie that is huge at the time. Blue Jackets is a local content reference as well, referring to the large volunteer force the state of Ohio leant to the Union's Civil War cause.

Still, 'Predators' is generic - it'd be like calling us the Montreal Ethnic Group - even if the logo is not. I still find something perverse in refusing to honour Nashville's musical heritage.

They could've done a lot better than Predators I agree, but I like exposing other stories about a city. I mean, I like that the Blue Jays' AAA affiliate is called the Las Vegas 51's (referring to Area 51) and not the Gamblers or something. Although the Las Vegas Shotguns would be hilarious.

Fanpuck33 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 just wondering - what are you saying about the fine people of New Jersey? I just learned this last summer when picking up a friend for a soccer game. There apparently is a mythical creature called the New Jersey Devil, kind of their version of Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
