Rebrand Series: Predators 3rds

So my rebranded home and away jerseys for the Predators were a definite break from the mould, but I do want to say that I am a big fan of the rebrand efforts that they've made for real.  The yellow jersey was a bold move and I personally think it looks great.  so with that in mind I knew that if I went with a blue home jersey I'd have to do a yellow 3rd.
The jersey is simple, yet different.  Who knew that the absence of lines could look so cool?!  AND, I've tried to keep it clean and simple with many similarities to what they actually wear.  The logo is from the Preds word mark that they introduced when they rebranded last year.  In the words of Michael Scott; This jersey is BOSS!

Rebrand Series: Nashville Predators

This is a much different look for the Preds.  While they actually rebranded their uniforms last season and went with a simplified, Nashvill-esque look, MY rebrand is very much the opposite!
Very similar to my rebrand attempt for the Panthers and the Wild (there's just so much potential with those 3 animal logos) I've gone for a more intimidating look that would strike fear into the eyes of any opponent.
When I created the new logo I wanted to keep the Sabre tooth tiger in the forefront but had a vision of what it would look like if it was facing frontwards.  But that wasn't enough, it looked to bland so I added some scratch marks and the NP that the Preds currently use just in case anyone forgot where these guys came from.
The jerseys don't really need much explanation.  I wanted something different, the jerseys had to match the logo, and they look awesome!

The Nashville Predators have had a history of very....interesting jerseys. with the random silver, yellow, white, and navy they had created some very interesting threads.  Oh and I forgot to mention the diarrhoea yellow 3rds the sported for a couple of years.

My original concept for the predators uses the skull logo that the press have had on their shoulders for a number of years, I personally think this logo is pretty awesome so why not use it on a jersey.  The rest of the jersey is kind of random though.  I think what I was thinking in 2003 when i drew this jersey was that if I was using the skull logo then I could make the rest of the jersey look archeology/museumy to add to the character of the jersey.  Welp, here it is, after I made the jersey it started to grow on me, check it out;
