That’s not a uniform change. Those are alternates. 

it matches my call though of going blue....and adding the white helmet though. 

that said, I feel my Cher opening for AC/DC concert announcement is probably closer than anything anyone else can do.

New uniforms would’ve been announced before the draft so that the rookie can take all his pictures with them. There’s zero chance it’s brand a new uniform. 

Nothing against any of our picks this year, but I don't think any of them necessarily justify timing a uniform swap.  It's more about wanting a fresh look for a new era a lot of times.  It doesn't always coincide with year 1 of a rookie.  Purely anecdotal, but I feel a lot of uniform updates happen in year 2-3 of a build.  I think it's because most teams don't wanna use a good design on a team that ends up being trash lol.

I also remember seeing somewhere that Tepper and co like the current sets and plan to make very minimal changes if needed, hence why we’ve been playing around with the jersey and pant combos. 

This, even more so now that we know the team was so high on T-Mac, as highly drafted offensive skill position players sell a poo ton of jerseys.  

If we were planning on new uniforms this year, they'd have done it before the draft so they could capitalize on the hype of the rookie pick to help sell even more jerseys.

To be honest, at this point, I think Tepper is waiting on Bryce to make a jersey update.  Once Bryce proves himself one way or the other, Tepper will update the jersey's that following offseason.  

If he proves he's our franchise QB of the future, releasing them that offseason will drive a ton of sales.  Just as the same is the opposite, if Bryce struggles again and the team knows they'll replace him in the draft, they'll release them that year to again, drive sales.

I agree with this part.  But you already bought your T-Mac jersey, so I understand your bias lol.

Well they haven't been shipped out yet despite this past Friday being when they were supposed to and then an email went out saying they were pushed back a few more weeks.

So you could make an argument that they delayed them as they'll be the new uniform and the team hasn't been ready to debut them yet, but I still don't see that at all being the case as it would just be weird to do it all after the draft and after all the rookie card pictures have been taken in the existing ones too.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.

      give some props to Andy Dalton

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      I was ok with the mentor aspect of keeping Dalton, but wow has he fallen off the deep end. The slow behind the WR interception was awful. I keep hearing our WRs created no separation, but on that particular play dude was wide open and Dalton couldn't get it to him with a clean pocket. Next year, we need to address the backup QB spot haaaaaard!
