TEAM PREYS PREDATORS MONIKER WILL BE WELL RECEIVED

          Nashville's NHL expansion team will be called the
     Nashville Predators, it was announced last night by
     Predators Chair & Majority Owner Craig Leipold and President
     Jack Diller.  The community had the opportunity to vote for
     and recommend team names.  Additionally, Prince Research
     Group of Nashville conducted local marketing research.  The
     club's logo features a "dramatic profile" of a saber-toothed
     tiger, which in prehistoric time was native to the region
     that is now Nashville.  The team's colors are dark blue,
     silver, orange and gold (Predators).  In Nashville, Randy
     Weiler reports that the team also liked the name Edge, but
     that various entities held trademark rights "that would've
     been expensive to secure."  Weiler adds that Predators
     "apparently won out over Fury" (NASHVILLE BANNER, 11/14).
