What do you think?

[AKPantherFan]

I think its a great idea and would give panther fans something unique to call their own!

[Kettle]

seems many don't want to cover their face, and it got me thinking about things I've seen already.

Kurb wore his around his neck the way boyscouts wear their bandanas. Like this.

One friend tied his on his side around his belt loop and had the fangs on the side of his leg. Another friend wore his on his head the way bikers wear bandanas.

A thought for the ladies that have men who are fans. Wear it like this for your men.

A couple more ideas for the ladies.

Not sure how to make something like that, but the wife sews with pretty good skills. Just trying to point out that over the face is not the only way to wear the mask.

you want 10 dollars for that

the first ones i did. if i continue to sell them(not likely), i'll probably take less. another thing is that the 10 covered mailing costs and paypal fees in addition to a little profit.

I am no lawyer but what exactly could you be selling that reebok would buy? if you don't own the logo or fangs since they are a rip off of the panther fangs then you have a bandana you wear over your face. Is that something unique that you can sell? I would be afraid if you show them the idea they will just take it and pay you nothing. Afterall what do you have that is unique or patentable.

Again I have no clue about any of this but I am asking a question that would bother me right off the bat.

i don't have much of a clue either, but there is no reason to not try. It's my idea, and there isn't anything to Patent or Trademark. If Reebok does rip off the idea there really isn't anything I can do with the position that I'm in. It would be nice if I am compensated(and I do hope for it), but the big thing is getting the product out there for the mass of Panther's fans. It would give me great satisfaction to see the mask on lots of fans in the stands or wherever.

Well, if need be, you could use this thread as proof that it is your idea and I'm sure many here would be willing to submit statements testifying to that.

Update

So the team store manager and I played a little phone tag this week which was a little frustrating, so this morning I sent her an email asking for the info I need. I expected to hear from her tomorrow, but she called me up shortly after. She unnecessarily apologized for calling me on a Sunday, and proceeded to give me the contact info for her Reebok sales rep. Gotta give him a call tomorrow.

I can see some people(young males)wearing them but it seems to be too hot to wear them,it hardly gets cold at the games,40s is the lowest in a while which isn't cold enough for a mask.

[CarolinaKid704]

Not to discourage you bro because I like the idea...

But theres two reasons and maybe more why I dont like the fangs. For one it screams Cowboys how its a bandana on the face. Two, I'm not tryin to F with that thing everytime I want to chug down a beer. If I saw someone walking around in one, i'm not exactly gonna be like OH COOL! In other words no wow factor.

What I think you should do is remodel a pair of those vampire plastic fangs. Maybe black the teeth out and put a little touch of blue and silver in there. The teeth themselves should be remodled to resemble our panther fangs.

This for me would have a wow factor and it would be easier all around on game day.

I'd wear it during a dust storm or working with chemicals.

Good concept, we just dont have the weather to warrant them all season long.

I think it would work better if the Panthers mask used the blue for the cloth rather than black, simply because it's hard to tell it is to be associated with the Panthers.

I've said it on my site, but apparently it has been overlooked. I am proposing that they be made in black, white, and blue. I also am going to suggest different materials. For example, I am going to the opening day game, and plan to make a thin, white one? I don't think they'd be any hotter than face paint.
