Texans new uniforms. Past time for Panthers


Recommended Posts

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.

It's cos they're designed by committee.

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.

    • The Panthers Huddle is usually just propaganda …this one was actually good im feeling good about the Morgan and Canales marriage  the proof is ‘in the pudding’ however  …and have to remember a first time head coach and players who have never played together before but they can’t possibly be worse than last year  the wild card to all this,  too,  is Young  I wish I felt better about him but I don’t  Morgan says he wants ‘dawgs’ not ‘dogs’ I.e. pit bulls vs poodles…I see young as the latter, not the former  Regardless, life is full of surprises…maybe he is a lot more than I see.  I’m not a scout or coach 
    • There are a lot of moving parts to this type of questions and way too many variables to consider to really predict how the outcome would have been any different in 2023 with Dalton starting more than just one game.  But instead of focusing on that Seattle game, another game, and the game following it, are more intriguing to me.   Week 16 vs Green Bay.  Young had the best game of his rookie season.  23/36 (64%) for 312 with 2 TD and no INT.  Thielen (6/94), Chark (6/98) and Tremble (4/59) all had huge plays in the passing game. The running game was a different story.  Hubbard (16/43) and Sanders (3/3) combined for just 46 yards rushing.  Mays was starting at LG and Jensen at RG.  The offensive line was able to protect Young just enough to keep the Panthers in the game until the very end.  But this wasn't because they were playing at a high level, rather the Packers defense played horrible this game. But this horrible defensive effort by the Packers allowed us to see what could be possible if Young had time to process and throw. Fast forward to Week 17 vs Jacksonville.  The offense was shut out and the offensive line allowed 6 sacks and 8 more QH's.   If you go back and watch these games back to back, the line play if very noticeable.  When Young had time in process and move, he was spot on.  When the line collapsed, like most QBs, he was ineffective. When you draft a QB 1st overall in the draft, especially if you trade up to do so, you hope to get a QB that can make plays despite the struggles around him.  Think Newton his rookie year.  Should the Panthers have traded up in the 2023 draft to the 1st overall and should they have drafted Young at that spot? My opinion is no to the first question and no QB in 2023 was worth trading up to take in the top 10.  Neither Stroud, Richardson or Levis would have been worth it.   But none of them would have fared any better than Young either with the Panthers, in my opinion.  Stroud had a good season in Houston but he didn't have a Cam Newton or Lamar Jackson season.  He needed slightly above average talent in one of the worst divisions to make the playoffs. He had the season we were hoping for in Carolina but wasn't going to get with Young or Stroud. Now, I'm not trying to put Young up on a pedestal here.  There are a lot of questions that still surround him and his ability to be QB1 on the Panthers in the future.  But the issue last year wasn't just the play at the QB position.  And really, I don't think the WR issues were as much as people make them out to be.  The real issue on this offense was the line and the running game.  If your line can't get a push to run the ball or pass block to pass the ball, you have no offense.   Start Young. Start Dalton.  Draft Stroud, Richardson or Levis.  Kidnap Mahomes.  Doesn't matter, I think the end result would have been the same.
