Being its the offseason, I'm not sure if this is acceptable to post here. I just wanted to send out a fair warning to all my fellow panther fans looking for jerseys. I was given a jersey on new years. It is supposed to be an elite black cam newton jersey and well...its a fake. It was not ordered off any foreign website. To the casual fan, it may look legit but it couldn't fool me.

I have posted pictures so you can see yourself. Some stuff is just like the elite but there isn't any Keep pounding logo inside it. The "w" in newton looks weird lol, best way I can put it lol Its a "nike" jersey with the panther logo screen printed . I appreciate the thought of someone trying to get me a jersey but I wouldn't be caught wearing this anywhere. I'm going to ask where he go it from so I can spread the word. In the meantime, anyone have any matches....sigh

That W rocks haha.

I know yours was a gift, but I don't get why so many people look for deals, or overseas websites to save money. If you want a jersey, pony up the money for a real one. They're not THAT expensive.

I agree man! I would feel so cheap wearing jerseys like this. I will get my own in time for next season ...from nfl shop lol

The real deal jersey will last you a long time as well. The fakes wear out, and you look like a fake fan. I had a buddy who bought a cheap Ronnie Brown dolphins jersey. It was right in front of BOA right before the game two years ago. Well the jersey was cheaper because it had the wrong number for Ronnie Brown which he got riddled during the game. We got kicked out because he got in some people face about it. That cheap jersey ended up costing us a lot more than we bargained for!

Back a few years I bout three Fake authentic jerseys a smith black a pro bowl smith and a black peppers. All three looked legit. All the right colors and even came with NFL tags and patches. I was quite happy with them. The peppers jersey was the least of the bunch with shoddy sewing on the name and numbers but fug it. 50 bucks a pop. Couldn't beat it.

the "1" looks like a kid cut it out. maybe the photo distorted it....

the first and only Panthers jersey i bought was #89 that cost I think around $180 right before the 04 season(i blame myself for the jinxy on that monday night football game which was the first time i wore it). nice piece of cloth and if i had bought i phony balogne, the screen printing would have worn off by now even tho ive only worn it about 5 or 6 times.

i have a high quality fake Cam Newton reebok authentic jersey, retail price on the real one $250 I paid $40, the only way you could tell it was a fake is something that is actually nicer on mine then the real ones and you would not know it unless I told you.

Unlike speed's jersey mine is a very nice fake and I would never be able to afford the real one anyways, i just have better things to spend money on instead a product license because that's all you are paying for when you buy the real one.

Now with that said I do have a legit Signed Steve smith authentic jersey but I bought that back when I didn't have bills to pay and was still living with the parents 6 years ago.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
