Any suggested places to pick up Panthers Gear (not online, support local retailers)

Looking to make a road-trip to pick up some new Panthers gear now that the season is approaching ('cause I like to actually SEE the stuff I'm buying rather than the online buy-wait-try-exchange-repeat cycle for some things).

Plus, it's a road trip, and can pick up some local NC beer varieties along the way too.

Other than purchasing stuff at the Official Panthers Store at the stadium, which is always on the list  --- where are some regular, run-of-the-mill retail places that you'd suggest including on a stop-by itinerary that usually have a fairly decent selection?

The usual places with Panthers gear that I would normally go to include (in no particular order):

  • Kohls
  • Academy Sports  / Dick's
  • sometimes Sams Club / Costco (if you hit them at the right weekends)
  • Target
  • Walmart
  • Even picked up a 1/4-zip pullover that wasn't avail anywhere else in the right size at a Harris Teeter up near Concord one time, but I think that was a rarity rather than something to expect as normal.

Recommendations on best order/locations to hit around Charlotte to minimize drivetime and maximize shopping opportunities appreciated.  (ex: Cox Rd in Gastonia is usually worthwhile in terms of proximity of the above businesses to each other, but doesn't necessarily has wide selection. And surprisingly, one time a Target outside of Greenville SC had a small selection of gear in the right sizes vs Target closer to Charlotte that had run out)

More importantly, *when* would you suggest making a run to maximize availability options?  I've found making a run in August doesn't always work well, but don't want to roll too late in the season to miss out on fun stuff.

None of those companies are "local"...not even Harris Teeter any more.

You'd be better off to shop on ebay and then take the money you save over to Brawley's Beverage and sample their almost unlimited selection of craft beers on-site, and to-go...

...Brawley's is a truly "local" company.

PS:  They have an amazing selection of great wine at reasonable prices as well.

True on the "not local" comment, but you get what I meant.  

Ebay is not an option for the same "online regret/return/re-buy" runaround I'm trying to avoid.

Thx for the Brawley's tip.   Added to the list of future places to hit

Omega Sports in Park Road Shopping Center has a good selection at times...

...and Brawley's is 3 blocks down the street 😉

Are there any local businesses that sell such a thing? Seems it's all large chains.

Hardly.

However, while it's a franchise concept I do believe the Omega Sports store at Park Road is owned by a local family.

They have a lot of Panthers and NC colleges gear...

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
