I'd like to see it professionally done rather than some random guy putting stickers on his old high school helmet.

Doesn't have any stripes, logo doesn't look right, is too far to one side, yada yada yada.

If the team could give us a concept, that'd be awesome, but we all know how scared they are of giving the fanbase something to talk about if it doesn't fit their M.O. of PLay It Safe-All The Time.

"yargh!! we gave you a logo update, what more could you possibly want?!?"

you are really distraught by this? Couldn't you just be patient and wait and enjoy it when they do?

btw my condolences on the tat..

but at least you are keepin it real lol

Real question for those who keep up with this kind of thing more than me:

How long ago did we know, or do we really know for sure that Nike was taking over from Reebok?

We absolutely know for sure. The official swap happens in April. As for how long we have known, I'm not sure. At least 5 or 6 months.

So honestly, and I mentioned this in another thread, who really thinks Nike will roll out the same 'ol same 'ol?

Not possible in my eyes. Not by a long shot. Yes it is the decision of the franchise in the end but nobody in the Panthers office IMO is going to be able to effectively rebut the sway of Nike marketing. And I for one am glad about that.

There are going to be changes. How subtle or how extreme is yet to be seen.

See - I think it's already to late for that, at least for the 2012 season. It takes a ton of work to redesign a uniform. Merchandise with the new logo is probably already being sewn together as we speak.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
