johnnygriswold Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 First - I got this from the miamiherald.com on the Panthers' new retro jersey:The Panthers had a prototype of their new retro-themed jersey at practice Wednesday. There could be changes in design and color by the time it's officially unveiled.The prototype bore a similarity to the Minnesota Wild's retro-themed jersey. Instead of the leaping cat logo on the chest, only a snarling, less detailed cat head sits in the middle of a circle with ''Florida'' in the larger concentric circle over it and ''Panthers'' under it.Second - I posted a little feature on my site about sports logo designers. I know this is a short list, but these are the only designers I had bookmarked. If I'm missing some obvious ones, please feel free to shoot me a PM. CLICK HERE for a link to my site.Thanks as always!

Sodboy13 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 So that will put Chicago, Florida, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis in the "shove your logo in a circle" camp.Your move, wordmark camp.

habsfan1 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I don't like the Panthers current logo. Any change is a good one to me. I'm looking foward to seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I hate when a good design gets knocked off and overused. Boo.Um like 11 teams in the mlb had the circle logo with the team name and logo inside.And that doesn't make it any more permissible. (Your worst offender, by the way, is the Texas Rangers.)

DelayedPenalty Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 There is nothing "retro" about a team that has been around for 15 years!Highstick has been doing "retro" logos for years! Slap it in a circle and call it retro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 As a Panthers fan (albeit a bad, uninformed one), the thread title had me hoping for a return to the team's own, real retro jersey -- the original red. Although the original whites were my personal favorites, I've always preferred the red over the blue and would welcome a return to the traditional look as an alt. Certainly more than a manufactured "retro" that is simply copying others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm so pumped about this. I remember watching them play the Wild in '68 wearing these./sarcasmJust get a red jersey out there again of your current set and be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlentz823 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 i think the wild, pitt, and blues have the best logo in circle, but the wild have sweet sweaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILADELPHIAFLYERS Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The Miami Herald article also mentioned the mock up jersey at practice."According to my source (David J. Neal), the new jersey is fairly similar to the Wild's third jersey as seen at left.The main color is dark blue with light blue (no idea where that's coming from) on the sleeves, shoulders and bottom. Kind of looks like the Penguins. The leaping cat logo is replaced on the front by a logo similar to the Wild. Florida on top; Panthers on bottom, the Panther head in the middle."From http://miamiherald.typepad.com/flapanthers...d-your-way.htmlI think light and dark blue colors would look terrible for a panthers jersey, let alone the fact of being a rip-off of Pittsburg's third jersey.Anyway, here is my mock up/concept of a Florida Panthers third jersey w/ a "classic" circle logo and their current color scheme.

Sodboy13 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Something tells me I'm going to like your concept a whole lot more than what the Panthers actually take to the ice in. Really, guys, the classic red jersey. Would it be that hard to do?

Linus Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Wait, so this is going to be the teams new alternate for next season? I sure as hell hope the jersey isnt blue. Common, it has to be red, I liked there old red jerseys and I hate the fact that some teams have there alternate the same colour as there home jersey. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILADELPHIAFLYERS Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Maybe this can give you an idea of what the Panthers would look like in dark and light blue like the desciption.And then Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterform Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 There ought to be a limit on "logos in a circle" throwbacks in the NHL. They're just turning this into a generic fad and it's going to grate on people. I don't mind if teams reissue a uniform they used to wear, but creating circle logos for no reason other to catch on to a fad really bugs me.It's kinda funny though how every team wants to do retro uniforms now after Reebok just introduced the radically futuristic Edge jersey. Obviously the simplified throwback ideal is still very popular. They just need to do away with the gimmicks. DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 That red Panthers concept is awesome. Just ditch the circle and have the Panther head and its an amazing jersey. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 If they go double blue with a team that used to be identified by red it will come just short of the Los Angeles Avengers mess. At least they won't wear red helmets with them.And I agree that the concepts are nice. I love the full-body panther but have heard plenty of interest in using just the head. I guess it beats adding/removing sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Doctor Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Funny a team with no real past trying to invent one. And with the current economic conditions, probably has no real future either....What is really funny, apart from the expansion Pittsburgh Penguins, no team in NHL history ever used the logo in the circle concept. Many used simply their name on the jersey, or even a letter representation, so I don't see how this is even remotely retro when it wasn't even tro to begin with...

CubsFanBudMan Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Funny a team with no real past trying to invent one.While I get your point, the Panthers do have a past. It's not a long past, but... It was a red jersey and they went to the Stanley Cup Finals in it. I'd be all for them bringing that back as a "retro" alt. This "invention," as you put it, really has no place in my mind. It's not "retro" for the Panthers, it's new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
