lordholmes Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I've come across a photo of the early design of the Carolina Panthers uniform.We where discussing it on a Panther's message board and couldn't figure out why the NFL made the Panthers change it.At first I thought it was because of the light blue for a home jersey which would be neutral. But at that time the Oilers where wearing an even lighter shade of blue...If you have any thoughts or theories on to why the NFL made the Panthers change it would be appreciated.Thanks in advance Proud supporter of the Carolina's pro teams!Carolina PanthersCarolina HurricanesCharlotte Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klasticono Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Probably because of the pants being darker than the dark jersey. I believe that was against their rules at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 whatup Holmes!no this is not an "official" uniform. that image is from the Observer on what they presented as the new uniforms back in '94. when thay actually took the field it was white jerseys (1st half home), white pants. then during 2nd half (home) was black jersey, silver pants. the blue jerseys were 1st played in 2002. the carolina "electric" blue has shifted over the years from a more teal based to a truer cyan based blue. the reason for the blue change was color appearance on TV and the early colors faded out after multiple washed. it's never been "tarheel" powder blue like other folks have mentioned. our jersey numbers have never been silver.*edit: forgot to mention there were silver "fashion jerseys" sold in 2002 as well. ugh!

klasticono Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 But those were the jerseys they originally planned to use. Kind of like how Jacksonville wanted to use those teal home jerseys with the jaguar jumping across the front and a silver helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
