The Danimal Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I just realized that the Carolina Panthers have played 9 post-season games in their 11 year history (2 home, 6 road, 1 neutral) yet have never worn their home black jerseys in any of them. That's got to be some kind of record.It is true that during the regular season the Panthers wear white the first four home games and black the last four...however, both of their home playoff games have been vs. the Cowboys so Carolina went with white so Dallas would wear their "unlucky" blues.

dfwabel Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 We generally call it "Badluck Blue", but it was more in reference to their blue used until the 1981 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphins1972 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I remember when the NFL was tossing the idea around to put a franchise in the Carolinas back in the mid 80's. (I live Charleston, SC btw.) One of the names that was suggested was the Blue Hens. This was to combine "flavors from the two state universities. Thankfully this idea never made it far. The reason I bring this usless trivia up is when I see the team's colors of black and carolina blue,I always wonder if these two colors are supposed to be a combination of USC's black and UNC's blue. Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danimal Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 I've been a Panthers fan since day one and had never heard the USC/UNC color explanation. Interesting, although garnet is usually more associated with USC than black.The Panthers blue isn't really UNC blue, but close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panther blue is much darker and slightly greener than Carolina blue. I'm sure Pantone has posted a comparison recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
