THE REEBOK EDGE (Gen 2)
While there were changes to materials and customization specifications on a large scale, the most profound changes were cosmetic in the second generation of Reebok Edge jerseys worn by the Predators, which were placed into service beginning with the 2011-2012 Season. The bright and bold gold coloring, guitar pick patch, piano key collar, guitar string numbers, and many other mainstays seen up into modern jerseys were unveiled with this generation.
