Lalalaloser Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 ...do you think they will stay the Hamilton Predators. I hope they come up with something different. I really hate the whole Predators identity. I like the name Hamilton Bulldogs, but i dont think they would use that. So what do you guys think?

Patrick L. Kennedy Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 They will probably change it. Isn't the 'Nashville Predators' name due to the discovery of fossils of some type in the Nashville area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwtrailtrekker Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 is it confirmed they're moving or is it just a rumor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG30 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The owner said he's definetly wanting to move them there. So, its not exactly confirmed, but it will happen if the time comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the 'Nashville Predators' name due to the discovery of fossils of some type in the Nashville area?Yes, on the site where they were digging up the arena. Kennedy: Right. Fonz: WrongThey did find several sabre-toothed tiger fossils while building in downtown Nashville, but it was not during excavation for the (now) Sommet Center. I'll have to find more info, but I believe the find happened back in the 70's when one of the downtown buildings was going up.Also, the Preds are not moving to Hamilton...yet. There is an exit clause in the current lease agreement with the City of Nashville, but that is only effective if the Preds don't average 14,000 fans per game. Well, right now sales look good.

Viper Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 As I mentioned in another thread, at the very least a new color scheme is a foregone conclusion if the team ends up in Hamilton, as the Preds' current scheme is too much like that of the nearby Buffalo Sabres. For the same reason with respect to their other would-be new neighbors, the Leafs and Wings, I'm thinking they'd avoid both blue and red as their major color.As for a new nickname, how about the Hamilton Pilots? I have ship pilots in mind, rather than airplane pilots (a Pilots logo could be something along the lines of the Peoria Rivermen logo) although either one would work.

youcan'tseeme Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 They should either go with Tigers as a tribute or Steelers, if the team moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinMcD Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I say they're gonna keep using the saber-tooth tiger in Hamilton.I doubt they use the Sabres colors and mascot 70 miles away from here. Even if they try to, Golisano will probably attempt to block it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 In the event that Mr. Balsillie wanted to maintain the Predators' sabretooth tiger mascot, the strange coincidence would be that said mascot would be vaguely reminiscent of the brands of two nearby professional sports franchises: the Buffalo Sabres and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
