We’ve stayed so close to our original with only one real restyling that it adds a nice level of consistency to the maddening inconsistency everywhere else in this org.

Just some minor tweaks every 5ish years is fine but we don’t need an overhaul…or else this is what happens.

Check out this fan mockup of what an update to those jerseys would look like:

What could have been.

The sad part is that fans with Photoshop often produce way better looking unis than teams with their massive redesign budgets and marketing firms.

Every time a team debuts new uniforms that try to be all "sleek" and "modern" they always end up looking dated within 5 years. See the Browns, Bucs and Jaguars re-designs from the mid-2010s. All three teams ended up changing back or to a new design by the end of the decade.

Then look at the most iconic uniforms in the league that have been roughly the same for decades: Steelers, Packers, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, etc. The one common factor is simplicity.

Everyone wants to be the Oregon Ducks of the NFL. They should stop trying so hard to fix what's not broken.

Texans and Broncos updates were turrible. 

Broncos throwbacks, though, were a thing of beauty. Should be their primaries.

When you have a classic uniform like this, I feel like you should embrace it.  For example, I really felt like the Seahawks should have done that in 2012 vs going with that monstrosity they went with.

But I'm a sucker for simple, classic uniforms.

This would be the worst time to change uniforms because demand for Panthers gear is low because we suck.  Business wise, it would be smarter to wait until after we have at least one good season that makes fans happy and excited for the future.  That is when they will be more likely to buy the new jerseys you are selling.

Yeah they still got Darnold jerseys to get rid of

It actually makes good business sense.  People will buy because it's their team and it's a new uni, then when the team is good they will by the good players.  If they wait till they're good you don't get the double dip

Am I the only one that preferred the original Panther logo? It actually looked like it fit with the rest of the league.

And what could we change with the jerseys that wouldn't make them look tacky or too basic?

With current trends & the type of consultants that would be hired--they likely take the silver out, reduce the shoulder stripe, and it would have this over-simplified bland look to it. 

I think our all blacks with the classic helmet is the best look and is sharp as hell.  Those are great--and then I associate the team w/ the all-white as those are the most worn and look fine. 

It's fairly timeless.  The longer we hold, the more trends will come back around to our styling and we can pass over the current fads.  I do wonder if they'd ever explore an alternative logo but meh.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
