Would Tepper ever change the mascot, logo, and jerseys?

It's no secret, the Panthers literally have the unluckiest mascot in the world: a black cat. This legitimately begs the question if the mascot has been a bad omen and negatively affected the performance of this team over the years. The Panthers are like Icarus, falling back down to earth whenever they fly too close to the sun, only to drown in the ocean.

Would Tepper ever consider changing this mascot to something that doesn't represent unluckiness and bad omens? I honestly would support it. It would give me one less reason to justify why this team is so consistently disappointing. What would you call the team? Maybe we could just change the cat logo from black to blue or white or something.

I could see him changing the jerseys but the mascot is too recognizable to the public to have it go away, didn't it win some award recently for best mascot or something?  if he got rid of it they'd basically have to change the whole team name and completely rebadge.

The Panthers all-black alternates did win best uniform of all time on an NFL.com poll because Dave Damesheck is a douche bag and said the Panthers suck or something so it mobilized Panther nation to create a bunch of bots that voted 5 million times to win the poll. He didn't announce a winner and never spoke of it again.

Jerseys probably. As for the rest, you're way overthinking things.

On the mascot or logo, why would he make such drastic changes if they aren't necessary for a franchise he just paid billions for? Especially when he could just clean house in the front office and bring in a fresh vibrant innovative staff. Winning does a hell of a lot more than a logo or a mascot.

A black cat logo is the cause of this team's poor performance?

Why stop there?  Maybe a witch burning, a virgin sacrifice or perhaps a Commissioner Goodell voodoo doll might improve our fortunes?

In reality the cause is much less mysterious than the OP suggests, look no further than inept ownership, management and coaching for the Panthers organization's inability to build a winning tradition.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
