Evil Doctor 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.I had to correct my typo in the above quote, I hate poor grammer, spelling and typos especially when they are my own...I probably should have also added to my point in saying that the city has no real heritage either when it comes to hockey for that matter. Ottawa, Minnesota, Colorado (and even San Jose if you consider the Oakland/California Seals) had teams before that they can draw from as well as deep histories with minor/amateur hockey that go back many decades (or in Ottawa's case over a century.) Miami has what? The Miami Screaming Eagles, a team that never got past the concept stage in the WHA?But even so, if they insist on going this route, there are so many retro styles they could go for, such as a stylized 'F' or interlocking 'FP' or scripted 'Panthers' that can at least suggest they are their own team instead of imitating everyone else...

hecticbro Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 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.Especially if your team's barely a decade old and you play in Miami!

-kj Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I disagree with that; then again, I'm a big proponent of the serial comma. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

I would love to see the original red sweaters as alternates. Vintage-style sweaters work, but only for a few teams. Like teams with a history of over 20 years, or special cases like the Wild where they've embraced Minnesota's old school hockey tradition. The Panthers are not a team that need a vintage-style sweater.

I don't know the technical terms, but you can say something like.."I like chicken noodle, beef and barley, and chicken and rice" and it makes sense.Without the comma, it reads"I like chicken noodle, beef and barley and chicken and rice" - it makes it difficult to determine that the beef is associated with the barley, and the chicken is associated with the rice. It almost makes it sound like they are independent entities.

Mostly for the reason you said.And for that reason, I will ALWAYS put that comma there. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rooted for the Panthers and later saw my first NHL game in Sunrise. I agree on the vintage-style sweaters and also have no problem with Minnesota (although I liked the green better for them). Florida could always bring back the plastic rats... there's a Panthers tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 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.Its like a return of the Colorado Rockies. Or maybe the Kansas City Scouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild's vintage sweater makes a great alternate, but they need to bring back the green as the primary home sweater. And plastic rats were like the coolest thing to me back then PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle64 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I agree with Linus as long as it is red and the Panther head is large enough. Reminds me of all the hockey teams(pro and minor league)that use to use upside down triangles in their logos. Pens, Sharks, Lowell Lock Monsters and on and on. It's getting old. If not a red jersey than maybe the yellow/gold color as a choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'd forgotten about that mask. Everything about that jersey was fantastic. Normally, I'd complain that the logo color appeared nowhere else on the jersey (and I would be interested to see what it'd look like with that gold color in place of the yellow), but the whole package just looked so damned good.
