Something with how the old stripe didn’t allow for the proper stretch, that’s also why they removed the hip logo (look how scrunched the stripe gets right around the logo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more a matter of consistency between whatever pair the player is wearing, like we see with jersey sleeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to alter the stripe to make them stretch the right way. Which is what the first part of my post was. The part about the logo just dealt with why that too was removed.

The part about the logo just dealt with why that too was removed. I refuse to believe the only option to "make them stretch the right way" was to cut off the end. Nike doesn't seem to have any problems with with making other non-standard stripes "stretch the right way". The only explanation is that's how the Panthers want the stripe to look now, which is lame and why it's a little thing that bugs me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How it looks now Why'd they start cutting off the point like that? I'm glad someone else noticed this. I think it had to do with a template change. As you see in the top picture, the sleeve stripe is farther down on the shoulder, giving room for larger TV numbers. On the bottom picture, the moved the stripe up to the armpit, shrinking the TV numbers and rendering them nearly useless. Now the Panthers jersey is just cluttered at the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How it looks now Why'd they start cutting off the point like that? Never mind that - why is the outline so much thinner now? I've been thinking for a while now that something was slightly "off" about Carolina's uniforms lately, and this might be why. 5 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were one of the few teams who didn't adopt the new Nike templates when Nike first took on the league contract, which I want to say was 2012. And they held onto their old supplier with the old cut and the dazzle fabrics for a while. I guess I want to know when that change happened. I admit I haven't been paying that close attention to the Carolina Panthers. Their tiny TV numbers are literally a little thing that bugs me in sports. They're comically small now and if I was the Panthers I'd just drop them altogether now that TV numbers are no longer required. I'd also replace the Panther head logo with a full body panther logo because the logo on the helmet and sleeve is redundant. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Don’t let the pants stripe distract you from the fact that Carolina needs to decide whether to keep the panther logo or the numbers on the sleeves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky1324 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I've always preferred replacing the logo with TV numbers, especially since we don't have a full-body panther logo and if we did it wouldn't look good. Keeping the logo would look too much like the Pats in my book. 5 Quote the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Up through maybe the mid-aughts, I was a big fan of logos on sleeves, particularly if the logo didn't match the helmet (Vikings, Eagles). But given the lack of real estate in that part of the jersey now, I definitely favor TV numbers over logos. Lack of TV numbers looks a bit minor-league to me. Logos are nice, but not necessary for an NFL-caliber jersey. 1 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

While I don't really have an opinion on the pant stripes themselves, it always bugs me when uniform elements are sublimated -- like the latter image -- instead of stitched like the first image.

tBBP Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I don't know that I'd call this a little thing, but it's definitely been aggravating me lately... Derrick Henry has been doing it for a while, but in the past year or two lately increasing number of Snatit Titans players have been electing to go with red accessories with their uniforms...and it just looks so out of place... 3 Quote *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the red accessories. It adds some much needed color to an extremely drab uniform, especially the navy ones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BW14 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I don’t watch much AL baseball, so I just noticed this the other night: The Piping doesn’t match and it looks Busch league. Either spring for a second pair of white pants with blue piping to pair with the orange tops or, better yet, just wear your white jerseys that match the pants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
