Want to see all four new Preds logos? Well, they’re right here…
- Updated: June 22, 2011
At the 2011 NHL Awards, the Nashville Predators gave the four traveling media members (all bloggers, by the way) the opportunity to see the new logo for the first time.
All of the pictures below are the new logos you’ll see on Preds sweaters next season. And, if you’re wondering, the new jersey will be unveiled at the NHL Draft on Friday. We’ll have pics of that too so stay tuned.

The SECONDARY LOGO. This will replace the skull shoulder patch on the current sweaters. The idea is, obviously, the three stars of the Tennessee flag and a guitar pick-shaped outer design. Pretty awesome.
The ABBREVIATED MARK logo. This will not only be seen on Pekke Rinne’s new mask but also on the pant legs of all Preds next season.
The WORD MARK is just the “Nashville Predators” written out with the same color scheme as the logo (obviously) and with a slight font change.
The PRIMARY LOGO is pretty self explanatory. It’s the same basic logo but without all of the random colors in the original. This one is down to three. The indigo blue (?), the gold and the white. Nothing more. If you know anything about printing and silkscreening and the like then you know that a basic color set is a lot easier to print. And cheaper. And “cleaner.” A pretty nice update in my opinion. Especially the way other teams are starting to design more “basic” logos (see: the Tampa Bay Lightning).

overall, i like them. the secondary is a nice nudge to Nashville. i could do without the yellow stripe through the primary logo, but it’s not bad. not a big fan of the new font, it looks a bit cutesy, but it’s not that noticeable in a glance. the real question will be in how they are used on the jersey. looking forward to Friday now.

I’m really not fond of the guitar pick. I don’t think of sports when I see it. It seems more fitting to some sort of TN country music charity event. I hope the logo is really small on the shoulders or else I’ll need to stock up on skull patches now to modify my new jerseys ;P

The new primary is fine. But that wordart “NP” is half-assed and the guitar pick is….. well, as another poster said, it get’s the “Nashville” part, but not the “hockey” or “Predators” part (except for the “NP” which looks like they just tacked it on there to make it relevant). Not a big fan of those.

So are they gonna bring back the yellow jerseys?
I agree with Kelliente. They got the “We are Nashville” part with the guitar pick and tri-star symbol, but the tiger’s head seems a little unfinished.
I’m also not a fan that the third jersey won’t be used for the first part of the season.

Primary is ok. Do not like secondary at all can you say UGLY. Abbreviated I do not like either. I do like the word mark . Who came up with this in the first place.

Primary: Not bad, but I have to say I’m gonna miss the metallic silver “finish.” I’ve always thought it was cool.
Secondary #1: LOVE it!!! Three stars pay tribute both to the state of TN and (perhaps unwittingly) to the “three-star” motif that’s been a part of hockey culture for decades.
Secondary #2: (the “NP”) Honestly, I could do without it.
