For those who haven’t laid eyes on the inaugural season Predators jersey, it it one of the more unique jerseys in NHL history.
-
Back in the late 90s the NHL jersey world was basically the Wild West. Teams weren’t locked into one league-wide supplier yet, so everybody was doing their own thing — CCM, Starter, Nike, Pro Player, KOHO, etc. Somehow the Predators ended up going with Bauer for their inaugural season.
-
Which makes this even crazier now:
this is the ONLY NHL jersey Bauer ever made, and you can only find them in the authentic on ice version.
-
The quality on these is unreal too. Heavy construction, oversized bubble crest, silver dazzle accents, inaugural season patch — everything about it screams late 90s hockey.
-
Jerseys from this era all had their own personality depending on who made them, and this is one of the best examples of that.
