Post #80 - Nashville Predators "Blue & Gold"

I've recently started learning Adobe Illustrator and decided to recreate some old uniforms I made a long, long time ago, as well as something fresh, so here's what I did for the Nashville Predators.

YouTube

Home, Away & Third: The first three jerseys are a modified version of my Predators' jerseys from 2014 (10 years, my God life passes by in the blink of an eye...).




Alternate 1 & 2: The same design as the first three jerseys, but in a color rush style with no white accents whatsoever.



Alternate 3: A more traditional-style design with the added accent of 6 gold stripes on the sleeves to represent the strings of a guitar. The primary roundel logo is a part-custom design I made, featuring the "NP" logo in the middle. Thoughts? Funny story, when I was making this jersey I came upon this logo in my files and searched online for a vector version only to realize it was something I threw together a long time ago. Funny how that works.


Alternate 4: I can see the comments now; "This looks too much like the St. Louis Blues." Yeah, it probably does, but if the TB Lightning can look like the Leafs and the Devils can wear a Blackhawks sweater, who cares at this point? First come, first serve. I like how this looks for the Preds, especially with the tapered striping on the sleeves and torso hem.

The Nashville Predators and the next team on the chopping block.

Home & Away: There is nothing about these uniforms that has ever been seen in the NHL before. They feature a completely unique design that is something I have toyed with for years in different incarnations and I think I have finally nailed it.

Alternate: While roundels, as primary logos, are either loved or hated (there is no middle ground), I actually love the way the overall look of this uniform turned out. While keeping the sleeve and hem stripes traditional still would have looked great, adding the slant to them really helps scream uniquely Predators. I feel this is a perfect mix of classic and modern.

Have a look and be sure to rate the set and leave some comments. Thanks.
