I think they're terrible. Scipt being the main logo is so lazy and I don't think it's ever looked good.

Love the striping on the jersey, also not a fan a of the wordmark though. Agreed that the shoulder logo would have looked awesome. Maybe with the wordmark circling it.

Yes, for the little it’s worth, they don’t look good outside of the shoulder patch.

Emulating some barely pro team, with a total different colorway, and that team didn’t call themselves the Nashville Flyers, it was a nickname.

A jersey that has the design of a generic hoody.

Looks like it was designed by the Gap.

Sometimes they gotta realize that old jersey designs were discarded for a reason.

Yes, 2011, you too.

For sure, and I think that's the only issue I have with the "tribute" rather than "influence". There's memories in the image, but they're not always the best design to represent as a $200-$300 purchase

I think the final result is a bit bland, but the colours, most of the striping balance, the concept and the shoulder patch are all cool... but better size/position and interest in the wordmark would have gone a long way to finishing this off

Is it just me, or is seeing the wordmark "Nashville Predators" giving anyone else a creepy rapey vibe?

A company was paid in american currency to design these? Uninspired, different colour way than normal and probably the worst Winter classic sweater yet.

The shoulder patch is ok but doesn't work with anything else. Overall a fail.

I generally dislike wordmark jerseys but as a nod to the Dixie Flyers I think it works for them. The overall design is clean, the lines and colours look good. I give it a thumbs up.

Why aren't they playing at AT&T field again? Too big?

AT&T is in Arlington, about a 30min drive from downtown Dallas. The Cotton Bowl is basically in downtown and closer to the American Airlines Center where the Stars play.

The Cotton Bowl game is being played at AT&T Stadium on December 28. The Cowboys play a home game on December 29.

They wouldn't have enough time to install the rink for a January 1 game.


They could have made sure the Cowboys were scheduled for a road game that week, but the Cotton Bowl game is always going to be played around New Year's Day. As long as they have the Cotton Bowl game at AT&T Stadium, they won't be able to host a Winter Classic there.

Oh so the Cotton Bowl is no longer played at the Cotton Bowl. That's not confusing at all...

Those Preds jerseys are horrible. I'm not a fan of when they take an old jersey from a different team and update it for the current team. Just like what Calgary did with the Tigers jerseys for the McMahon classic. Either use an exact replica or come up with something original.
