guest23 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 As the shield now gets its own Sterling moment might this be a great opportunity for the new owner to start anew? I mean what value does the brand really have? Seems pretty forgettable IMHO from the halloween black cat replicated a dozen times on the uniform down to the uninspired color scheme that makes the most unique color tertiary. Also they should take down that hideous statue asap. And since when did it become acceptable to make statues of live people anyway??? http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21798557/carolina-panthers-owner-jerry-richardson-selling-nfl-team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burmy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Um, I'd like to think the brand has MAJOR value...the uniforms could use an upgrade, but the name, logo and color scheme should STAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgundy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 They could use some updates, especially the helmet stripe and excessive logo use, but I don't trust Nike to make someting better than what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I think the uniforms could definitely use an upgrade. I could be wrong, but i don't think anyone outside of Carolina, associates the panthers with the owner. I figure the statue is the only thing that will be changed.

The brand has more value than one that doesn't exist yet, they've been to the super bowl twice. The logo is iconic. The color scheme is beautiful and unique. If they can manage not to make them worse, a uni change might not be bad. They should leave the statue. The guy is the reason that state has a team. He didn't kill anyone. He didn't beat anyone. He didn't rape anyone. He spoke inappropriately with some women, touched one inappropriately, and used a racial slur against a former scout. He shouldn't have his connection to the team he founded erased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The Panthers are a rare expansion team who understands that they got it right the first time. All they did was as few tweaks to what I consider a modern classic and I’m completely fine with it. They don’t need a major rebranding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 There are statues for Wayne Gretzky, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaq, Michael Jordan, Bobby Orr, Mario Lemieux, Jerry West, Pete Rose, Pat Bowlen, and dozens of others that are still alive. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ Sands Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 ED NOTE: Slightly edited but copied and pasted from the NFL 2017 thread, where I brought up this topic. First of all, this is much closer to Donald Sterling than anything the NFL has seen. An owner selling in disgrace, especially in this climate, is kind of a big deal. This is big news now, it'll be big news when the sale process begins, and it'll be big news when the team is sold. Richardson's actions will be dredged up over and over and over again as this progresses. There's not an easier way for the next owner to turn the page than get new uniforms. Besides, these uniforms are 22 years old and there is nothing iconic about their look or their brand, and this won't help. The Panthers will be getting new uniforms. I'd be stunned if they don't. That statue probably should go, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few minor tweaks on the uni, or don't even bother. They've got a great distinctive set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need for them to go about ruining themselves like the Jaguars have the past decade. I don't see the need for a full rebrand or many tweaks -- maybe just the striping on the helmets?

They won't change the name and the colors are likely safe but the uniforms and maybe the logo could be up for alteration or redesign. Just my two cents. And, once again, this has nothing to do with aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Rebrand? Nope. Uniform design tweaks? Yes. The color balance they use is great, but the design itself is a little dated (the should stripes change based upon the jersey cut and the pants strip feels odd/out of place to me). But there isn't much that needs changing. As people have said, they got a lot right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
