FiddySicks Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 The old Panthers logo was head and shoulders above the current one. The current one looks incomplete and like they tried to force a sense of realism onto it that simply just doesn't work IMO. Part of the charm of the old logo was that it did kind of appear a bit flat and cartoony. It looked great on a helmet, too. Not every logo has to look super realistic to be good. Both the Panthers and Jaguars original logos were awesome because they had a bit of cartoony charm to them. It's such a shame that both of those great, somewhat cartoony looking logos from the 96 expansion have been replaced with far inferior overly forced looks.Definitely Jags more so than the Panthers though. The Panthers "tweaks" we're so minor that I still wonder why they even bothered. The changes were so minimal and really didn't improve a single thing about the logo IMO.

IceCap Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It's not even like the new logo coincided with the changeover to the Nike template. They kept the old stuff. Maybe they just wanted something new to put out there.

Most people don't like the cartoon-like look of the Panthers current logo, just like the current Sharks logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The new Panthers logo is much, much better on a white background, it's so much sharper and better executed.But it's a lot harder to use on black or blue because multiple colours touch the background, which seems to have been a deliberate design decision.

That's such a massive upgrade I can't believe the fans aren't pretending the original never existed. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I used to prefer the new Panthers logo, but seeing them side by side makes me realize what a huge downgrade that was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the mouth & teeth are really bad & the fact they have to change the whiskers on the blue background to white IMHO makes it a big time fail.

SJAnfield Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 With news today that the Rams owner is building a stadium in Inglewood (rouge-without league approval), I hope the Rams return to their traditional blue and yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely unnecessary and ruined a great logo in my personal opinion. Thank you Carolina Panthers... not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgiff17 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Love the old logo. I followed them more than the oilers/Titans when they left Houston and that logo just popped now I feel like I need some drugs to see the panther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I seem to be in the minority when I say that I much prefer the new Panthers logo over the old. The new one feels modern and sleek. The old feels more cartoony IMO. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I like the new Panthers logo more than the old, too. Not that the new doesn't have flaws, but the old was just too chunky to me.Here is my personal opinion, upgrade vs downgrade of the NFL logo changes for the last ten years or so (unless I'm forgetting someone)... http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B is good but the tiger is better as a primary. I would bring Carolina & Jax down.

LAWeaver Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Atlanta's Logo is a huge upgrade from the previous. With that being said, it took me forever to realize what exactly it was. At first, I thought it was some weird triangle bird thing with a claw for a hand in a T-Rex sorta fashion. It's a little too abstract. Detroit's change was also a huge upgrade. The old logo was another where I would look at it for hours and think "Why doesn't that monster have any front legs?" and thinking that the front legs were its mouth. At least I can make out what it is compared to Atlanta's update.Arizona and Minnesota were both upgrades.I'm a little on the fence with the Florida teams, to be honest. Jacksonville's logo is a nice update, but a little too detailed. Miami, like Carolina, is modern and sleek, but is a bit of a downgrade, yet still better than the 90's helmet-wearing dolphin. For TB, I think I'll side with the old logo. Yes, another 90's logo, but it had character. This new logo, like Miami, is a little too modern. I do like the combination logo someone posted in the concept section awhile back. It was the perfect mixture of the two logos. Not too clean, but still had the roughness of the old logo. EDIT: Forgot about Cincy's B logo. Great as an alternate, not so much though as a primary.

Maybe they didn't use a keyline on the current logo because they'd used them all up here.Yes way to many outlines but at least the teeth & mouth are correct. The face overall to me looks great but the new one is just so off.The Jags may have been better if they had not stretched it plus added the extra gold that does nothing for the logo.I have always been able to tell what the Falcons logo was I really like it a lot now the uniforms not so much.
