Nashville Predators to make 3rd jerseys home uniforms next year?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no a thousand times no. I love our jersey, I love our colors, I love our logo. Why do we have to change something that isn’t broken?

i fully embrace the change. i love the color yellow, but i love the new look and colors. if you look closely, you’ll see the evidence of this happening already. everything from the team now has the new colored-logo and wordmark.

I’ve been on the fence when it comes to liking these new owners or not, if they do this I officially can’t stand them. I don’t care that they saved the team or not because if they start making changes like this then it’s not the Predators I fell in love with anyway. With the things we saw in the off season like trying out different goal songs, it seems that there is some sort of effort underway to change the Predators’ identity and traditions and I don’t see why they want to fix things that aren’t broke. I wish they’d put the same effort into the on ice portion as they do on unnecessary crap like this.

The jerseys we have now are instantly recognizable as the Predators jerseys. To dump those jerseys and colors to switch to some completely generic blue jersey is silly. Why abandon the “brand” you’ve been growing for 10 years? Multiple times this year I’ve had people show up in the middle of a Preds game while they wearing the alternates and they had no idea who they were. No idea at all that it was the Predators. I had somebody watch a game for 10 minutes with me before they realized it was the Predators. I’ve had people ask me which team is which.

This isn’t a damning of the jerseys. I think the thirds [i]look [/i]nice. I don’t think they’re as bad as the mustard jersey at all. This is a damning of the idea that we might be losing the most recognizable aspect of our team, the jersey and our colors, and switch to something that makes us look not much different from about 5 other teams in the league. The thirds just don’t have the pizazz of the regular ones. They’re just big blue shirts. You can spot our regular jersey from a mile away and know what it is instantly. You see this blue jersey from a mile away and that’s all it is, some blue shirt with some white stuff you can’t make out.

i like the 3rds and having them every saturday night is ok, but dont get rid of the originals. did these guys used to work for coca cola?

i still love the Mustard, sorry Dirk , ha ha, i know they are ugly as sin and look like puke,but i have always had a soft spot for them. sort of like my old truck. the only thing holding it together is rust but it has character!

I know, I know the mustard jerseys were butt-ugly but I love them (and will continue to love them) just the same. I like the new jerseys too but don’t they look a little too much like Toronto’s?? I liked having the distinction of either being on everyone’s “best sweater” or “worst sweater” list. No middle ground there…either you love ’em or hate ’em.

I also like the checkeboard, but if you don’t make it more noticeable with a different color scheme why bother? Tweak the new sweaters…add just a little mustard somewhere to keep up the tradition.
But I do have to agree with rusherman…I would gladly wear the Canucks old thirds or even the early 80’s Astro’s uni if it means getting closer ot a Cup.
