Nashville Predators Logo

The Nashville Predators logo features a saber-toothed tiger, a powerful and iconic image that reflects the team's identity and its connection to the city of Nashville. The choice of the saber-toothed tiger is inspired by the discovery of a saber-toothed cat skeleton during the construction of a First American National Bank building in Nashville in 1971. This discovery led to the team being named the "Predators" and the selection of this impressive animal as their logo.

The logo aims to create a strong and predatory image. The saber-toothed tiger's sharp teeth symbolize the team's competitiveness and aggressive playing style. The gold and navy blue colors add both nobility and power to the logo, while also harmonizing with the colors of the city of Nashville.

Although the logo has undergone some minor changes over the years, the saber-toothed tiger theme has always been preserved. This demonstrates the team's commitment to its roots and the historical discovery in Nashville.
