Dirk is at the game, and he got his hand on a few photos of the unveiling of the jersey to share with us. After the jump are two videos with players' reactions and a close up of the jersey.

We also have another detail shot of the chest logo and shoulder patch to add, courtesy of the Preds:

Nashville Predators new third jersey chest logo and shoulder patch

And here's what they were thinking in terms of the design:

3rd Jersey Details:

Last night prior to the Predators 5-0 Preseason win over the Atlanta Thrashers, the Nashville Predators debuted their new third jersey. This new jersey has its roots in an Original 6 style, yet keeps a feeling that is distinctly Nashville – featuring a vintage-inspired lace-up front, a subtle checkerboard pattern lining the bottom of the jersey and a bolder-and-simplified color scheme. This new color scheme is evident in the Pred-head logo, including colors such as Nashville steel, navy blue, silver, white and a glowing eye, all changes from its predecessor. Also revamped is the jersey’s shoulder patch, which features a Predators “skull” logo, encircled by throwback style lettering with the words “Nashville Predators Hockey Club.”

 

Here is the video that was played on the jumbotron before the unveiling:

Dirk,
I could have done without the shot of Leggy’s butt.

The checkerboard is also in the background of the shoulder patches on the jersey as well. You’ve just gotta really look for it…

Overall, I like it.

I’m trying to figure out why they went with the checkerboard pattern when it is so difficult to see at any distance.

Not a fan

These just look too much like practice jerseys to me. Could they not have slipped in some of the yellow/gold or whatever they’re calling it?

Word is that . . .

Freeman and Co want to streamline our colors in the future. mainly just blue and white. more traditional. this is the first step toward that.
