Did I say yellow? Sorry, they’re calling it “gold”.
The Nashville Predators have announced the team will wear a yellow/gold helmet for every Saturday home game in the 2015-16, part of a “Golden Saturday” promotion the club has launched.
During these Saturday home games the gold helmets will replace the standard navy blue lid the club typically wears for home games. The blue helmet will still be worn for every other home game.
“‘Golden Saturdays’ and the new GOLD helmets are both things we’ve been working on for a while and will bring something unique and special to an already incredible experience — a Saturday night in Smashville.” – Preds President Sean Henry
This would mark the first time an NHL team has worn a yellow helmet outside a throwback since the Vancouver Canucks did so almost 30 years ago, Vancouver switched from yellow at home to white following the 1988-89 season.
