Roundtable: Should the Panthers Make Changes/Updates to Their Uniforms?

The Panthers might be due for a new look in the uniform department.

Uniforms are always changing in both college football and in the NFL. And as of late, several teams around the league are unveiling a new alternate uniform. However, the Carolina Panthers have pretty much had the same uniform design for their entire existence with some subtle changes here and there. 

They did add a black helmet to the mix last year which was a hit, but could they stand to do more?

For this week's All Panthers Roundtable, we discuss whether or not the Panthers should make any changes to their current uniforms.

Schuyler Callihan:

Personally, I dig the threads the Panthers are rocking right now. My thoughts in years past were that the blue was too inconsistent and would change almost every year. They resolved that issue earlier this offseason adopting "Process Blue" as the official team color. Updating the number font and shoulder stripes would be something I would consider, but nothing too crazy. 

Josh Altorfer:

Fellow NFC South teams like the Falcons and Buccaneers have altered their uniforms in recent years and not for the better. While I’m by no means a fashion expert, my advice is that you can never go wrong with a simple and clean look. I think the Panthers uni’s capture just that. A matte white alternative shell to go with the matte black could be a nice touch. As for the rest of the uniforms, my vote is to keep them as is.

Matt Welch:

The right uniforms can give the fan base a renewed hype and it obviously means new revenue with fans buying new gear. I’d like to see Carolina change the uniforms to get rid of the silver almost completely. Black and blue need to be more prominent and the silver sometimes muddles the colors in my opinion. Fans seemed to get on board with blue tops and white pants and that combo could carry a jersey transition when you add something like the black helmet. I wouldn’t even mind seeing a blue helmet for an alternate though it would need to be done perfectly. Even if no uniforms are changed, I think Carolina has one of the sharpest looks in the league.

Jason Hewitt:

The Panthers’ main home uniforms should be all black and their away uniforms should remain the same. The all-black threads are a fan favorite that look fantastic on the field. I would keep the blue jersey as an alternate, but I would combine that with black pants. That aesthetic would be ideal for one of the best color schemes in the NFL.

Tyler Ball:

I’m a big fan of the classic and clean look. If I were going to experiment with a part of the uniform I would opt for considering white or blue helmets. Especially when the team does the color rush, which is always a crowd-pleaser.
