Look at the size of those TV numbers. They're smaller than the Captain's C. I don't know how anyone can look at that and think those humorously tiny numbers are A. a necessity for player identification and B. look better than just leaving it empty. 11 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 My guess is the Panthers haven’t dropped the tv numbers because that would be considered a uniform change and they aren’t interested in resetting that 5 year clock for something that small. 8 http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just made the perfect Panthers uniform. (Maybe shrink the collar, but you get the point.) This is all it needs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all it needs. The Panthers have fallen into what I call Template Hell where the uniform has been shaped and poked and tweaked to fit into a template it wasn't designed for and that's why the pants stripe is now cut off at the bottom of the pants hem and doesn't come to a tapered point like the Good Dude intended. They're also their own worst enemy for combination fatigue. I don't think the white pants are necessary ever, but if you must wear them then please only wear them with the white jerseys. Knock it off with the white pants with the the black and blue jerseys. It makes the silver helmet look out of place and is an inferior look to the silver pants. Their best look is the black jersey with the silver pants and they almost never wear it anymore. 18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 The Texans and pre-2020 Patriots templates would work very well for a lot of teams that are struggling with shoulder hoops. They're actually very versatile templates that can be manipulated to produce all kinds of good looks. I think it'd work fine for the Panthers (though really all they need to do is drop shoulder numbers IMO) and maybe even a team like the Colts (just keep the center part the same color as the jersey, and use the outer trim to produce the 'hoop' effect. 7 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Gray and orange is a wonder autumnal color combo, which, when mixed with brown, is just the perfect combination for a fall sport. I'm certainly not a "gray facemasks or die" guy by any stretch, but the Browns looked a lot better with the gray than the current brown or even the old white. Honestly I'd like to see them incorporate gray into their uniforms in a very small way, be it in the striping or somehow else. Maybe even gray pants. I get that this latest redesign was a "reset", but if they ever tinker again, adding gray could look really good. 5 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

Would love to see them do what the Patriots did with silver/grey in the new set. Simple number outline and pants option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that if the Panthers reduced the middle stripe area that would be the simple solution. Or just add the inserts the Chargers used to use on their jerseys. It's more space than the Colts stripes and can allow for a sublimation pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it gives the sleeve another half to full inch of space to work with? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I love the idea of a black-out for the Panthers. It just makes sense.) One of the nicer concepts I've seen, but the Black helmet and dismissal of Silver is a no-go for me. Silver is really important in this combo, otherwise they're just the Falcons, re-colored. The Black helmet looks horrible in real life, in my opinion. The Silver base color, with the Black & Panther Blue with White accents all work seamlessly together for a great pop with balance. Removing the Silver reduces a layer of contrast that makes the design very flat. Also, their best look, as someone recently pointed out, is Silver Helmet/Black Jersey/Silver Pants. The Black helmet over White Jersey/White Pants or the disgusting White Jersey/Black Pants combo would be horrific, and too close to what the Jaguars already try to pull off. Silver must stay. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of silver for the Panthers, as I've felt it makes them too similar to the Lions or Raiders, depending on whether they decide to emphasize blue or black, respectively. I'd rather them be the Falcons with blue than have a nearly identical color scheme to two different teams, personally, but I understand your opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather them be the Falcons with blue than have a nearly identical color scheme to two different teams, personally, but I understand your opinion. I can somewhat understand your position, except that the Raiders are just Black & Silver and the Lions have, historically outside of the Megatron years, not featured Black. You're comparing 2-color team schemes to a 3-color team scheme. The Falcons are also at their best when they have Silver working under their Black & Red; without it, again, the scheme falls flats, with only 2 layers of contrast instead of 3. The Silver in these designs simply give the scheme more contrast, which gives it more depth & weight. You have the darkest tone (Black), and middle greytone (Silver) and the pop of bright color (Red for Falcons or Blue for Carolina). Without that mid-tone, the two extremes compete with each other, rather than have separation. Not sure if that makes sense. This is my art side of my brain speaking. Might've never used that 6-figure college degree for what it was intended for, but I do feel I've got a grasp on color (as I should...had to take Color Theory twice). It's also 11:43pm and I'm hopped up on Halloween candy. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
