CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers have a new look.

For the first time since joining the league in 1995, the Panthers have changed their logo. According to a press release Sunday night, the logo has been designed to provide a “more aggressive, contemporary look to the logo while making it more three-dimensional for ever-increasing digital use.”

inShare..The Panthers will transition to the refined logo throughout 2012.

The primary tweaks made by the creative department of the National Football League are primarily in the features in the eye and mouth.

Team president Danny Morrison says “we have one of the finest and most recognizable logos in the NFL and wanted to make it as modern as possible without losing the dramatic essence of the mark.”

The team will also change the primary logotype.

The new Panther looks.....fatter. :spock:

[Phobia]

Obvious changes when seen side-by-side. Won't even notice otherwise.

I like the new one better, but like you said, I wouldn't have even known they had changed it.

[big nasty kcnut]

Phobia made it fat. lol j/k phil.

[MagicHef]

Why are its eyes different from one another?

[CoMoChief]

looks like a female

[Renegade]

looks like a female

That would make them "cougars" instead of panthers wouldn't it?

[blaise]

I think they have some of the worst uniforms/helmets in the NFL. Doesn't seem like much changed. They should put a whole panther on the helmet, or a big P.

[loochy]

The new Panther looks.....fatter. :spock:

The new Panther looks...the same. What a pointless change. :rolleyes:

[Chiefnj2]

Some agency was paid a million dollars to come up with that. Theft.

[Al Bundy]

Probably going to be a uniform change as well.

[loochy]

Probably going to be a uniform change as well.

Yeah, that change will probably consist of changing the color of one of the stripes on the arm cuff or soemthing. :rolleyes: Stupid and pointless this is.

[blaise]

I think the Jags helmets and uniforms are pretty terrible, too.

[Molitoth]

Packers have the worst uni's in the NFL. Sorry tradition.

[Dayze]

my list of fugly unirorms (in no particular order):

Cowboys
Broncos
Ravens
Bengals
Rams (switch it back to Yellow)
Panthers
Saints
Titans

Hmmm...I like the Ravens and Saints and I don't think the modern Bronco uniforms are bad.

[Dayze]

I was reluctant on the Saints....I suppose they aren't 'that' bad.

The Broncos uni would be better if they did something to change the pants. The rest of it is decent, but the pants look really bad with that sort of 'swoosh' thing they've got going on.

IMO, of course.

[Deberg_1990]

Id love to see the Chiefs get a Uniform makeover.

[suds79]

Bengals have the worse IMO. They keep trying & keep missing.

All tied for 2nd are the Ravens, Saints & Jags when they wear their black on black. Makes them all look like some wanna be underarmor team. They're actually decent if they wear their standard uniforms.

Broncos are pretty ugly. That team should always wear the orange jerseys. That's just who they are.

[suds79]

This.

You'll get some "no way. Tradition!" responses to which I always say "What great tradition do we have to cling onto with these unies?" There hasn't exactly been this dominate run in them.

Nothing drastic. But something a little more up to date would be nice.

Our away unies are pretty bad.

yep. I thought they could do something/alter their original "D" logo and keep their old color scheme etc.

Agree 100%. Look how much the Royals unies have changed over the years for comparison. Nobody seems to complain much about them changing.

[RealSNR]

The Panthers are 17 fucking years old. Did they really get together in a meeting and say, "You know what our logo needs? A modern makeover."

The old one was as "modern" as they come. I don't get some of this shit NFL teams do.

[Dayze]

I'd be ok with a Chiefs uni change.

it's pretty bad when we as fans can only cling to the Uniforms and Tailgating instead of what goes on the field.

Chiefs could change their uniforms to all yellow monocrhome and I wouldnt' care so long as their winning.

Their black on black uniforms look great, IMO. I agree with the others.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Probably going to be a uniform change as well.

Yeah... for everyone. Thanks to Nike.


I will say the teel whiskers are so much more intimidating than the black/white. Heh.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Hi Nike in 2012.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Their black on black uniforms look great, IMO. I agree with the others.

I agree and I love the Ravens purple on black... like the updated Rams much better too. Carolina has the worst unis in the league imo.

[Rausch]

Why?...

I'd go with Denver or the Titans...

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'd go with Denver or the Titans...

Yeah those are good... I mean bad ones. I don't "hate" Denvers blue on blue but the Titans are puke inducing. Light blue/teel isn't good on a football uni.

[blaise]

The Seahawks green on green is awful.

[Groves]

They're just trying to capitalize on the vampire craze.

[Molitoth]

The Seahawks green on green is awful.

disagree.

One of the better looking and modern uni's in the NFL imo.

Check out the Chiefs unies around the 1:06 mark. I'm ready for a change I like it. Still curious to see how they do the aways.

I actually like those. Nothing like that anywhere else in the NFL. I like their blue on blues too except I'm not sure what color that blue really is. Rainy Seattle day blue I guess. It works imo.

There's some pretty killer looking stuff in there imo. I like the Chiefs a lot. 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks, Broncos are really cool. Bengals are wild but actually a little tamer than the crap they wear now. Browns are still boring lol.

Very true. Read the blog but missed that part. Thanks for the heads up.

[L.A. Chieffan]

The panthers teal jerseys are pretty sweet

[Rain Man]

It looks like all they did was turn the Panther into a vampire panther.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

The important question is are you team Edward or team that other guy.

[Renegade]

The all time worse jerseys are those awful Packer throwbacks, followed closely by the Broncos pizza parlor throwback uni's

[lcarus]

I mentioned long ago that it was past time for a uniform/logo change. I still like the current traditional Chiefs uniforms and logo as it stands (aside from the mustard yellow to be honest) but they could do a lot of cool things with our unis. I know a lot oppose it due to a long standing tradition, but face it, it's time for a change. With this franchise, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to drop part of our tradition...

[Discuss Thrower]

Stick with tradition. I could only be okay if KC did an alternate uniform with a white helmet on white/white; undead if the arrowhead logo just use red KC script letters on the right side of the helmet..leave the Lamar patch on though.

[alnorth]

I approve.

Clicked the thread expecting to be annoyed (your franchise should be somewhat old before making a really huge change to a logo), but this change is very subtle and doesn't really change the theme of the logo.

[CHENZ A!]

I want us to wear those Indian headdress helmets. Those were dope.

[Micjones]

I like it.

[1ChiefsDan]

Panthers just wanted to be able to have a throw back jersey that didn't have the state of Texas on it....

[Ultra Peanut]

To everyone concerned about the similarity between the new and old logos, rest easy. That was an in-progress logo that somehow got released to the media. Here's the final version:

[Demonpenz]

The Panthers LOGO in the endzone couldn't scream more "90's" even if it had had MC HAMMER doing the Typewriter across it.

OK but I still don't see much of a change from the original logo. :shrug:

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

The Panthers are now Rays fans.

[Monty]

Looks tougher, but I dare it to go to Utah.

remeber back when they had lesbian cheerleaders?Oh yeah. That had potential to be the greatest story ever. I mean, you had:

football
drinking
cheerleaders
fighting
girls kissing girls

The only thing missing is blowin' shit up.

[CHENZ A!]

You mean this one?

Yeah, I want them to do a modern version of this.

I have never seen that helmet.

I do like the bigger logo helmets as a throwback.

That was designed by a fan as an idea...The Chiefs staff only kept it to laugh at it. NBC actually took it out of an office without permission...

I like it but the graphic needs to be cleaned up a bit, and resized. Other than that it kicks ass.

[|Zach|]

Looks good imo.

[KChiefer]

Some agency was paid a million dollars to come up with that. Theft.

This. I like the old one better. Before I opened the thread I thought it'd be a picture of a camshaft or Isaac Newton.

[RealSNR]

Remember how they gayed up the Lions' logo?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3f/New_Lions_Logo.svg/489px-New_Lions_Logo.svg.png

The same guy got hired to re-tool the Panthers'

[scho63]

One Chinese person complained that the original logo looked like it had slanted eyes so the politically correct police decided 1 person trumps 1,000,000 so it was changed to look non-ethnic

[hometeam]

I second the "it looks fatter" motion

I also second the "wouldnt have noticed" motion

Keep your damn metrosexual hands off the Browns uniform.
