Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I agree with most of this post, except this part.

How are black uniforms not the panthers identity? They have been worn since the franchise came into existence and the panther is a black cat.

Not exactly. "Panther" in its broadest sense refers to any of the big cats within the genus Panthera (Lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars). In North America, "Panther" refers to the cougar or mountain lion which normally have coloration similar to their African cousins. Black Panthers are what is termed a melanistic morph of normal panther coloration. These panthers produce a very high concentration of the pigment, melanin, which results in the black coloration.

As for the Carolina panthers, I also don't agree with the above statement that "black is not their identity". Like someone else said, they've worn black since their inception. Furthermore, their logo is a black panther so how could black not be their identity. I for one have always liked the Panthers logo/uniforms.

well, you see, it fits with the Hornets and somewhat with UNC to somewhat create a identity for Carolina and...

...plus light blue looks better.

So it's their identity because it looks better and UNC does it? Not everyone in the area loves that color and gamecock/wolfpack/clemson fans in particular can't stand that shade of blue for various reasons. Why create an identity, or piggyback off of another, when one already exists?

I can't stand the blue. I prefer the black by a long shot.

Also, it's obviously the black panther being used on the helmet/logo, because it's well, black.

Hold on. Better than the 49ers? Better than the Packers? Better than the Vikings? Better than the Bills?

Off the top of my head, I know I at least like those ones more than Carolina's.

Absolutely. I think the colors work great. And the Bills are the only team there I'd put in the upper echelon. I think the Packers colors are hideous.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I was being sarcastic about the Pats jerseys. I just wanted something to laugh at every Sunday.

I don't get why people think the Titans need new uniforms. They just need to go back to making the dark blue the primary like was posted earlier. They are only 14 years old. I guess the Packers and Bears should start with a clean slate since they've been wearing those uniforms since before the Super Bowl existed.

I like the black with black pants, but I prefer the light blue with silver. Still, though, I don't see any problem with their unis overall.

I like the light blue with silver too. It's a great alternate. But I love their black jerseys.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

I would love to see Carolina get rid of the silver.

White/black/blue

Versions I would have:

Helmet/Jersey/Pants

Home: White/Blue/White
Away: White/White/Black
Alternate (H): White/Black/Black
Alternate (A): White/White/White

In all honesty, I'm surprised that the major leagues here don't have SOME form of sponsorship on the front of their jerseys.

Not even something as egregious as the soccer kits do, but even something in small writing above the numbers for football (obviously the numbers need to stay large on the front.)

Basketball and baseball is another story, in terms of their numbers not being important at all. I can see baseball being the only league that would truly fight something like this. I'd be curious to see how often something like this gets brought up internally in those leagues.

Re: OS Uni Snob Thread

It's already been discussed in the NBA and will probably happen in the next year or two. Even with Stern retiring I'm sure Silver will bring it to fruition. Milk every dime from that cash cow that you can.
