Dibs on first offseason uniform thread this year

[Ricky Spanish]

So someone on reddit is doing a series on team uniforms. Yesterday they did 'the awful' and the Bucs were dead last. 

Today they did 'the bad' and unfortunately we made the list. While I don't necessarily 100% agree, I will say that this person makes some really good points:

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate from Panther fans on this one, but hear me out. The Panthers have a great logo and fantastic colors, but uniforms that are filled with design issues that don't take adantage of those things.

The biggest issue to me is the amount of Panther head logos used throughout the design. They have an oversized logo on the helmet, the exact same logo on the sleeves, and then again on the pants. If you're a team like the Eagles or Rams you can have your full team logo on your sleeves because you're using a different design on your helmet. With the Panthers it's extremely redundant.

There are some teams that still use the old Reebok template, but have updated their fabrics to Nike. The Panthers are one of only a couple teams that still use the Reebok template and even older fabrics. So you're presented with this super shiny, 90's basketball shorts style fabric for the Carolina blue that doesn't hold its shape when it's on the players. This means the shoulder stripes and pant stripes wildly change in thickness. It's not a good look.

The block numbers don't match any other part of the rounded design. It's something that is cool on an old school team, but not a team that came into the league in 1995. The center stripes on their helmet might have also been cool back in the 90's, but now they look weird and completely unnecessary with such a big helmet logo.

I commend the Panthers for sticking with basically the same look for as long as they have, but they would benefit greatly from a template change to provide some structure and removing redundant logos.

Fair points all around. 

Anyway, talk amongst yourselves. I certainly don't want to talk about how Hurney will be GM for life any longer, it's too depressing.

Haven't we already had a uniform thread this year?

Whatever, sucka.

our uniforms are very bad. the black ones are the greatest uniforms of all time, though.

[SOJA]

He really isn't wrong though, I have never before noticed that the log appears three times.....can't unsee 

[Growl]

I've always thought the head logo complaint was fair but the others are stupid.

 

Loading up on Nike pro combat garbage that is going to look laughably dated in 10 years isn't the right approach for anybody, much less a team that is trying to build its own legacy as a respectable,long tenured organization.

 

I genuinely think our uniforms are some of the cleanest in the league.

[Mr. Scot]

Here's something mildly uniform related.

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif wants "M.D." added to the back of his jersey when he finishes medical school

Doesn't this  guy already have enough on the back of his jersey?

[The Lobo]

Unfortunately, this person is correct. We have great colors and logo design, but it is time for an update. I don’t want arena football update or Bucs, but a new one would be nice.

I don't think we necessarily need to do too much, just a small tweak here and there. Get rid of the panther that shows up everywhere, fix the stripe so it's more consistent across all bodies, and maybe fix the stripes on the helmet/pants.

Also make the helmets black. That's a must.

REFERRING TO THE AWFUL UNIS:

Call me crazy, but I like the Rams white horns on blue helmet with the white unis.   They are going to break TOTALLY away from the St; Louis Rams gold in 2019.

By the way, the Steelers and Packers should not wear the throwbacks.

The Patriots should go back to their red UCLA jerseys with the helmet.

The one they wear now looks like our helmet and I hate Brady. 

In addition, Jax is getting rid of the two-tone helmet that looks as if they were torched in a kiln accident.

I think they are going to an all-gold helmet next year.

[Ricky Spanish]

@MHS831, The rams are completely removing the gold from their uniform next year I believe, as well as making the Blues match in color. So they suck this year but they'll be better next year.
