If the green on the torso were below the white stripe like if the burgundy were below the silver stripe in the original third, that would be a very beautiful jersey, regardless of the crest.

Other than their pants stripe they remain committed to being a more boring and ripped off version of the Leafs. I don't get it. I don't like the nickname on a jersey, but actually using lightning bolt imagery to decorate the sweater is a step in the right direction. the SMASHVILLE jersey might be the worst NHL uniform this century. This century?! It could be the worst ever! It breathes the same rarified air as the Burger King, the Buffaslug, and the Mooterus, and is a good bit worse, IMO, than Pooh Bear or Wild Wing. It is “Smashville” - immediately notorious enough to be identified by a nickname. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikWings Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Why is the E so big/wide in the Nashville jersey? It could just be an illusion but it seems so disproportionate to the other letters. EDIT: Holy crap I just noticed the S's, Captain patch and the numbers. This jersey keeps getting worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean this is probably the worst: Then there's this guy: And these: But I feel like those are even mildly superior to the Smashville disgraces. It's a close thing. I don't think the Cancuks are nearly as bad as the other two. I'd throw the DALLAS Edge jerseys in the mix even if they weren't technically an alternate (Although I think the White version was originally).

The Preds just took their Winter Classic design, made the base blue, and tried to come up with a more "bold" wordmark for the chest stripe. The idea was to reference vintage country music posters like this with the font: I get the thinking, but the execution is awful. Yes, the posters used mis-matching fonts, but not in the same word. Might want to do the research on that again, and use actual Hatch prints as reference lol. 2 I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Just a giant swing and miss from idea to execution on the Nashville sweater. Just because Nashville has some weird font posters that doesn't mean it will translate well to an NHL sweater... Someone along the way had to see that it wasn't working and change direction.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Has the team acknowledged the Hatch Show Print influence formally? That's the kind of obscure local reference detail to make the NBA City Edition proud. Can't blame Nike for this one!

That's the kind of obscure local reference detail to make the NBA City Edition proud. Can't blame Nike for this one! THIS THIS THIS As @andrewharrington said, Hatch Show Print is within spitting distance of Bridgestone Arena. And yet for whatever reason, the Predators did not reveal the sweater at HSP or mention them by name in any press/social release. They didn't even use a country track for the initial unveiling video! It's like if the Nets had released their City Editions last season without mentioning Basquiat, or the Sounders not playing any Hendrix when they revealed their purple kit. Quote Should've screenprinted the jersey then, the effect is lost with the medium. Correct. The effect looks okay on the "PrEDs" collar mark, but it does not translate to a cut-and-sewn crest. HSP style is more than just goofy font. They overlay colors (like that Ringo poster), always look somewhat distressed due to the wood blocks, and they very, very, VERY rarely print on a primarily dark background like navy blue. The Preds have the perfect base in their gold for a HSP-inspired sweater, and they decide now is the time to attempt the navy jersey a large number of fans have wanted as a regular alt for a decade. Would've been better off sublimating HSP-style words and graphics into the gold stripe and doing a two-color tiger head or guitar pick for the crest. This solid color block approach just does not translate at all. I swear, this freaking team makes it so hard to be a fan sometimes. I'm just glad it doesn't say "SMasH VegAS." 6 Twitter • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
