Nashville Predators First Jersey

When ranking Predators’ jerseys, no list would be complete without including the original. This jersey was introduced before the team’s inaugural season in 1998.

While this jersey is now 22-years-old, it still looks good. I think the away jersey looks better than the home due to the logo not having the triangle behind it and the darker color.

The Predators had an intimidating and unique team name to come up with a logo right from the start. They did a great job coming up with the logo and the team colors, with the navy blue being more dominant than it is today.

This jersey was introduced in 1998 and worn until 2001. The one that started it all and the one you still see some fans wear on a regular basis.

A short life for the original Predators sweater, but one that would be really cool to make an appearance in 2020.
