![]() "Nashville" still reads across the back of the collar, with the navy stripe now framed in Gold. The Predators' celebration of Music City has been expanded in the uniform, with the piano keys around the inside of the collar and guitar pick alternate logo remaining on the right shoulder and the guitar strings over the back numbers extended to the arm numbers as well. The navy paneling and accents formerly seen near the shoulders have moved to the collar on the 2017-18 version. Nashville's Gold is even more prominent on the front as the white piping has been removed and the white stripes on the arms now separate the navy and Gold. The club will continue to wear the Gold helmets they donned full-time for the 2016-17 season. With the new ADIZERO jerseys, Nashville chose to build upon the bold, stark look established in 2011 with the adoption of Gold as the franchise's primary color. The 2017-18 season brought new uniforms designed by adidas for the 31 NHL clubs. The saber-toothed tiger logo was co-designed by JDK Design of Burlington, Vermont and Dye, Van Mol & Lawrence of Nashville. The cave, located beneath the building, is preserved under concrete for historic and educational purposes. The discovery, made in August 1971, marks only the fifth of its kind in North America. Scientists believe that some time during the last glacial period (15,000-80,000 years ago) part of the cave was the den of the saber-toothed tiger. Radiocarbon tests on the specimen revealed that it could have possibly been one of the last of its breed to exist. Further digging revealed a cave containing the nine-inch fang and a foreleg bone of a saber-toothed tiger, extinct for at least 10,000 years. Construction workers drilled through 20 feet of solid rock before coming to a soft muddy area. In May of 1971, excavation began at the downtown Nashville site of what today is the 28-story UBS Tower (formerly First American Center). The Predators unveiled their logo, a saber-toothed tiger, in Nashville's downtown First American Center on September 25, 1997, 26 years after a fang and foreleg bone of a saber-toothed tiger were found in a cave just below the building's address.
