black and grey would be cool...BUT that would make the whole "growel towel" thing look funny on TV...

I suspect a "whiteout plan" is coming...as much as I would prefer the B&G

of course that's a big IF -if growel towels happen...which they may not...not with Chrylser about to go under - Lake Norman Chry-jeep-dodge being the typical sponsor for those...maybe CPI will step up to it and make black towels?

I assume we're wearing white since we always do for home playoff games but has anyone seen anything official yet? Any chance we change this tradition?

I think you're confusing WHY we did it. We did it both times because we were playing the Cowboys. We always elect to wear white at home no matter what time of year it is against the Cowboys out of Marty Hurneys stounch superstition practicing. You see, the Cowboys home jerseys... that they don't even wear at home... are unlucky, and we have always beat them when they wear them at our house in the playoffs.

Let's all have a moment of silence and thank God that we don't have to worry about hosting the Cowboys 100% of the time in the playoffs.

Saturday night they need to come out in black. Monday night earlier this month they wore black and it was 1 of the most electrifying home game experiences Ive ever seen.

For once I agree with you KT, the black jerseys looked good on the night games, at the stadium and on tv. The panthers seem to have more attitude when they wear the black.

i too hope we come out in black. my gripe is that if they want fans to have a blackout by wearing all black, i wish they would put the news out now rather than wait until a day or two before the game. blackouts/whiteouts are awesome looking on tv when everyone is on the same page. most places pass out whichever colored shirts at the gates, so maybe the team can pony up and pass out black panthers tshirts for fans to throw on over whatever they are wearing.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
