In May of 1971, during construction of the First American Center, the fossils of Pliestocene animals were discovered... among them was the notorious Smilodon fatalis (i.e. saber-toothed tiger). The fossil find actually started with the fang of a saber-tooth. The history of this is what inspired the logo. The NAME of the team was done the "proper Southern way" - by fan vote.
When the builders were digging the hole they found a Sabertooth Tiger skull. And this animal was a predator so they name the hockey team the Predators. Also that is why in their clips they show a sabertooth tiger as the mascot. If you want to see the skull they found it is in the lobby.
