Late April is what I had heard too, but..I believe the draft hats start going on sale in early April, no?

Technically, the NFL did the new logo, not Nike..so I just wonder.

I asked when we could buy stuff with the new logo and the person who answered the phone said they can't start selling Nike stuff till 4/27, so I assume the two are tied together.

Exactly. They're making a killing off every guy who buys that outdated crap and laughing all the way to the bank. Hold off another half year if you want the old stuff which is soon to be obsolete, they'll be giving it away.

That's assuming they don't run out of stock in your size on the old item that you like.

Yeah, reebok has probably already discontinued making panther gear, so nothing will have the new logo until the nike stuff comes out.

The players will probably get one of the new logo draft hats when drafted but won't be able to sell to the fans till the 27th.

50% on old logo gear? Probably can wait and get it even cheaper.

Sports Authority already had a buy one get one sale a month ago on all panther gear (excluding Newton Jerseys). They are currently doing 75% off on all apparel.. $29 Jersey's after sale price. Still have Stewart, Smith, and Williams left.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
