My main concern with the black helmet craze is the impact on hot, sunny days.  That is probably why we won't see them until November.

The only research I have found on the subject of helmet color dealt with motorcycle helmets.  Granted, they are different, but the temperature difference between a dark helmet and a light helmet on a hot, sunny day was quite noticeable. 

There is a reason the Miami Dolphins helmets have always been white.  Someone proposed a aqua helmet several years ago that was popular with the fans but the team shot it down.  Of course, Jacksonville has black helmets, but I'm not sure we want to point to them as a good counterpoint.

Can't say I ever wore a black helmet, but I absolutely remember helmets being frigging miserable in the middle of July or August 😖

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Been here since middle school right when it started around 2003 after the charlotte.com one. Living outside of Carolina it was tough to find good Panthers content, news or analysis. And no one to talk to about it. This place gave me a lot though I don’t often post. In the later days, I particularly Loved PhillyB’s write ups. They were fire. Too bad I go let it go. I appreciate the hell out of @MHS831 @TheSpecialJuan @Jackie Lee and others who have been posting great content and keeping this place worth coming back to. Particularly during the offseason. Appreciate y’all!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Nice explanation, but I was just messing with you. Thought that would be obvious. I dont have the energy to keep on trolling. Last season I compared our situation with Bryce as a potential Alex Smith, but what we should be looking for is our version of Mahomes. Some people will read that as one sentence, to me that single sentence is equivalent to a half A4 explanationf of the teams pathway forward.

      I dont know how much of his salary would come across and how much a trade would cost but I feel Kmet would be the sort of TE Canales and Morgan would like
