David Newton (and others) think our uniforms are outdated

According the power rankings executive committee, only five teams have worse uniforms than Carolina. Fortunately for the Panthers, two of them are in the NFC South, so they rank second in the division behind New Orleans.

 

Carolina is given kudos for consistency, having stuck with basically the same black, white or blue jersey with silver pants with a predominantly silver helmet since the team began playing in 1995.

 

But in Carolina’s case, the committee says the pointed pants piping, divergent helmet stripes and color scheme “all feels badly dated.’’

 

Too bad the all-black look Carolina’s worn less than a handful of times since it debuted in 2012 was not a part of this evaluation.

 

Two years ago, that look won an NFL.com fan vote for the “Greatest Uniforms in NFL History." Yes, history. There were some questions about the voting being stacked or rigged, but that’s another debate.

That Carolina had worn that combination only once before the controversial vote was more intriguing.

 

Regardless, I agree the Panthers could use a new look.

 

We must kill David Newton.

I love our uniforms and dont want them to change. We are winning a Super Bowl in these uniforms, then why would you change it after that

 

Tell this to the Packers or Steelers. The Dolphins uniforms are updated but suck their old ones were way better

 

And the old Dolphins logo did not have to be changed the new one is gay. Bucs uniforms are nice and updated but are atrocious arena football league poo. JR dont change them, and to whoever owns after JR, hopefully MJ, and why wouldnt it be MJ, please dont change them

To that committee...

 

 

 

You don't badmouth Carolina uniforms and color schemes.  We take that poo serious.  Real serious.  Ask Derek Anderson.

 

 

it is not a "committee", it is a douchebag of one and has a thread

• All judging has been done by the Uni Watch Power Rankings Executive Committee, which has a membership of one and freely admits its biases. The committee is rather fond of striped socks, for example, but is less enthusiastic about monochromatic uniforms (solid-red, solid-black, and so on) and takes a dim view of design "innovations" that just feel like gimmicks.

Huh, I somehow completely missed that thread.  Well delete it or merge it or whatever I guess.

 

But anyways, lol how the fug is one person a "committee"?  David Newton's dumbass didn't even bother to mention that in his article.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
