Not a horrible look. I was hoping for more of a matte finish though. 

They don't look glossy though. More like an eggshell or satin finish which I think looks great. I think a full matte would have looked like trash.

I think the Panthers should drop either white or silver from the color scheme all together. I think you can make a compelling case for both and have the three colors be black, blue, and light grey. You can make some really nice uniforms in all three primary colors.

Respectfully I disagree.. Silver with the glitter, black and blue OG panthers color way is one of the greatest color ways in ALL SPORTS.

Love the simplified two-toned approach.  Only makes sense to move towards that on the jerseys, the silver & white is too offsetting from the new pretty dope helmet.  Would love for the jersey to just have a single tone for the numbers and shoulder stipe.  It would work with this super well and that's likely how we'll modernize the jersey (hopefully soon)

Exactly.

When I and many people ask for new jerseys we don't necessarily want an overhaul, just a nice tweak that updates the jerseys to make them look cleaner/more coherent and up to date.

The funny thing is I can't find a fan concept online that's the simple, refined look.  This is all they need to do (quick psd chop up):

the problem with “modernizing” your look is that you have to keep doing it to uphold the premise

The league has a few examples of this

the Jaguars, the browns, the lions, all come to mind as the chief offenders.

Abysmal organizations who are constantly phasing out now-dated design schemes to keep up with trends and feign enthusiasm

i like the new helmet as a new alternate with the rule change but it shouldn’t be a precursor to some big overhaul.

panthers have a good look using enduring design traits. Just keep it until it becomes timeless.

Modernizing doesn't have to be a continuous process every few years, although you're right that orgs with weird owners and poor marketing depts. make the mistake of constantly revamping.   Modernizing (for lack of better term) can also be just a single point in time where you take a chance at very subtle, refined updates.  A uniform revision, tweaks.  Just like we did once.    

Your examples had rather ambitious splashes changing something like their pattern, striping, helmet schemes, etc.  Example being the gold/black Jaguars helmet thing.  I mean, they've updated upwards 5-6 times and we have the same lifespan as a team.  All we've done (which I respect) is revise the logo with smoother fillet edging and simplified it and swapped colors on the jerseys with some super minor changes.  That's really it since 94 released the unis.     

I see the Bills, Bengals, Falcons, & Giants as examples of what we've done and how we could tweak things. 

The piss poor design concepts everywhere online also give the whole process a bad aura (not saying mine is anything special) but I think simplifying and refining is totally fine.  4 colors is just excessive, and keeping something longer doesn't always equate to timelessness.  Timelessness needs a certain balance of minimal and proper design to work.  4 colors and one being sparkly silver is simply not timeless and it would be appropriate to finally get a nice refinement going.  We always have these to wear or come back to.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
