The_Admiral Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You know, yellow against white isn't going to look very good. It certainly doesn't in basketball. I hope teams bring their home darks to Nashville. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I give it two years, tops, before we see a navy alternate out of Nashville.

BBTV Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Disappointed they didn't keep any silver to keep some resemblance to the first half of the franchise history and to separate themselves a bit from the other blue and yellow teams. Not sure the point of only having the shoulder patch on one side either, looks real odd.Wait - wut? Didn't notice that.

Sport Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 eww. I don't like that business with the patch only on one side. Phoenix does that and it doesn't feel right. Nashville's will be even worse because the pick logo is symmetrical and large which will throw the balance towards one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_RH_ Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 How about Nsh pulls a soccer team and just wears no white uniforms. Yellow at home and yellow on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalancho Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just a couple of thoughts:1) If the WV Mountaineers were an NHL team, this would be their uniforms (with different logos, of course);2) I hope Jamie Langenbrunner or James Van Riemsdyk don't land on this team (not to mention Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond)... otherwise I don't know how they'd fit their last names without stepping over the piping;3) Is this now a Blue + Yellow team? (like the Blues and Sabres) Or more like a Yellow + Blue team??? (NHL-unique, so far)4) No silver...no black...no dark jerseys..... No Problem!!!Overall I like the new look... hopefully they'll stick with this identity and only tweak their uniforms as needed over time...

I hope teams bring their home darks to Nashville.Unless the Predators wear yellow or white helmets with the yellow jerseys then that can't happen. Like Sodboy said, in two years they'll have some whacky navy alternate that will within a year replace the regular home jersey. Then they'll wear mismatched jerseys at home and on the road for a couple years, and then they'll trot out a white version of the new navy jersey and retire this set's white jerseys. Rinse and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Just a couple of thoughts:1) If the WV Mountaineers were an NHL team, this would be their uniforms (with different logos, of course);WVU has two teams, ACHA Division 1 and Division 2Their roads are blue versions of that. They're all about blue-and-gold, not the reverse. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 ORWhich do you prefer?This is going to take some getting used to. While the colours of the new ones are vastly superior, the design of the jersey is not. Guess you can't have everything. If they removed the arch piping it would be perfect.

TruColor Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I thought I'd show a comparison between the Predators' old color palette vs. the new one for 2011-2012:A couple of notes: 1. Yes, the old alt jersey crest was still an official secondary mark through 2010-2011. 2. I'll miss that Steel color. It was a unique color in the Big 4 (even 5), and I think it should have been used in the new identity as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I love the fact that they are going with 2 neutral colors as a uniform set (yellow and white). Throughout history teams have either had a white uniform with a dark, or a yellow uniform with a dark, but I don't recall any teams (outside of the WHA's Chicago Cougars back in the 1970s) that went with that uniform combo.The new primary logo is sharp looking but I miss the detail of the older logo (especially the eyes). I personally think the non-mustard version of the tiger head (on their now defunct thirds) is the best version of the logo.The new guitar pick secondary logo is cool and all, but I think it pales in comparison to that awesome fossilized saber-tooth tiger skull logo.The generic looking "NP" is the biggest disappointment of all the new logos. It pales in comparison to the old "fanged" NP logo from a few years ago.This oneOverall though I think this new set is pretty cool looking. The Catch of the Day!

AAO Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ugly brand to begin with, still is. The sabretooth head still looks deprived and distorted. Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The new sabertooth still looks way better than the cyborg sabertooth they were rocking for the past decade. The new one actually looks like it has an eye, and not some optical lens, and personally I prefer the new NP as well. It looks a lot better than the previous logo that felt more suited to be on a baseball cap than a hockey jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
