pagan696 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 "Rumors have been swirling this week that the Panthers were going to unveil new black helmets for the Bucs' game Monday night. It sounded a bit far-fetched, especially since NFL teams have to give any uniform changes approved way ahead of time. But it was intriguing enough that we thought it worthy to check on it. The Panthers insist they are not going to wear black helmets or black pants on Monday night, but will be in their classic silver helmet, black jersey and silver pantsFans, however, are encouraged to wear lots of black, so as to "black out" the Bucs.-- Charles Chandler (Charlotte Observer Dec 4, 2008)"good.i prefer the original look w/o black pants.

Sport Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 That's good. I like the panthers uniforms how they are now, but they could do some things to make them even better.1. switch to a sewn-on logo. Screen printing looks cheesy.2. Lose the white pants and light blue socks on the road. White jersey, silver pants, black socks3. Either dump the helmet stripes or switch those helmet stripes to light blue outlined in black to match the pants stripes. And if you must use the helmet "stripes" then at least space them evenly across the board.note the difference between steve smith's helmet and keyshawn johnson's helmet4. Adopt a custom number font.

Adopt a custom number font.i would agree with all these suggestions except possibly the last one. At least you should say "adopt a custom number font that isn't complete garbage"... unlike 9 out of 10 of the custom number fonts current being used in organized sports. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I could see them going to silver pants with the white jerseys since the helmet is silver, but you at least gotta keep those socks light blue. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John in KY Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 3. Either dump the helmet stripes or switch those helmet stripes to light blue outlined in black to match the pants stripes. And if you must use the helmet "stripes" then at least space them evenly across the board.note the difference between steve smith's helmet and keyshawn johnson's helmetI've never quite understood why they don't fix the spacing. I understand that Smith is wearing a Riddell helmet with a their traditional shell that has the raised middle ridge and Johnson is wearing a Schutt which doesn't have the ridge, but other teams with this type of striping like the Titans and the Ravens don't seem to have this problem. Carolina also uses the narrow stripe patter on Riddell Revolution and Adams helmets, so I guess they is just waiting for either the Riddell VSR-4 helmets be discontinued or all players who wear them to retire - whichever comes first.

I still think a black helmet could work (and may even be preferable to silver), but this is an outline for the quickest and easiest way for the team to adopt a look that could easily become a classic.

dennisbergan Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Though I could see them going to silver pants with the white jerseys since the helmet is silverAl Davis and his out-of-touch organization would probably have a cow and sue the Panthers for looking too much like the Raiders. Not kidding either.Just add black pants to the Panthers road uniform and wear the white pants with the alt blue jersey's and they would really look sharp.

Panthers Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Nothing that I've seen at the league leads me to believe they have anything other than the sets we've seen. I think though, IMHO, that they should have a black helmet, black pants and blue pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
