Reactions To The New Carolina Panthers Logo
by James Dator on Jan 30, 2012 5:14 PM EST

PrintAround the web we have all sorts of people chiming in on the new logo. Heck, the Carolina Panthers even became the #1 trending topic on twitter because of it.
First off we have Shudown Corner's take. Full disclosure, this piece from Yahoo Sports is intended to be purely a comic piece, rather than anything serious. However, I must admit I chuckled at a few of MJD's opinions on the new Panthers logo, and logotype.
I think it would be a bad idea for you to attempt to shave a panther's eyebrows at home, but these are experts, and an eyebrow-less panther is a more terrifying panther.
I'll admit that in looking at the new logo the lack of eyebrows or the two small middle teeth didn't really resonate. I think I got caught up with the new outline and blue lip/jaw. Judging from the reception on twitter a lot of fans seem upset with the lack of the small middle teeth... not sure I really understand why.
I think most fans are in accordance that it was time for us to drop the Hulkamania/Baywatch font for the team name. Most seem to think that while not perfect, the new logo type is still miles ahead. MJD doesn't seem to think so.
The old logotype said, "We're the Carolina Panthers and we're here to play some football and PARTAAAAAAAY." And that party would be attended by Sinbad and Spuds McKenzie.
The new one ... ah, it's just corporate-y letters with a few random kitty scratches in it. Boooooo. No one who made that font is here to party.
I'm not sure if Sinbad and Spuds would attend a party with just wine and cheese, but it's duly noted.

What do you think of our new Panthers logo? I like it. Added some modern touches without losing the essence of the logo.
Finally, this GIF seems to be floating around. It seems like a good thing to freeze frame if you hate the 'squinting eye'.

I'm slowly coming around on the logo and getting past my dislike of "the lip".
I really like it on the black background, so now I do hope we get black helmets to match the new logo.

but they would only wear the black ones for cool-weather games, if they end up having them at all
I second that notion.
I don’t see what all the hooplah is about, I think the new logo is definitely an improvement.
It does remind me of that big sand tiger from Aladdin though.

Truthfully
I don’t see what the big deal is with it. Looks pretty cool to me
When I first saw it, it looked like the Panther had a big blue bottom lip.
But, as time goes on and I see it more, the “lip” stands out less and looks more normal (to me anyway).

There’s not really a whole lot of changes, it’s just looks a bit more streamlined and smooth. A more modernized version, basically. We went from a classic muscle to exotic sports car, hopefully as does our performance on the field.

sorry for this ot comment but can someone make a post regarding the fact that many bloggers ive read recently on other sb nation sites seem t think fua did well while mcclain just sucked.
id make a post myself but i cant on my phone. has anyone else seen any of this? i know neither has dominated but i would surely say mcclain performed better of the 2.

I was of the opinion Fua played better at NT than McClain played at UT
But that was just based on watching tape… I’ll be curious when the advanced charting stats from Football Outsiders are up after the Superbowl to see the comparison
i would have to disagree on this one.
if his only job was to hold his spot w/o getting any push then ok, maybe he out performed mcclain. he has to become at least a little disruptive which i didnt see at all. mcclain made a few plays and showed some prgress imo.

That is his job...
The responsibility of playing 0-technique is to hold up people at the point of attack, not to rush the passer.
Push is nice, but not a job responsibility.
maybe i dont watch enough football but i cant come up with one nt wo is considered good who doesnt generate some sort of push or make something happen.
not to mention that time and time again his man was to the 2nd level keeping our lbs from making plays.

i agree totally
Fua got pushed around alot! and didn’t do much pushing back…. from what i remember. if you look at stats it may say one thing. but, from watching the games it seemed. Mclain was the only one i saw improve. before they both went out and our D line[DT] instantly improved VIA Shirly[lol] Neblitt, Kearse. Over the two rookies! hope they both are working hard!

I like the new logo
especially on a black background, it looks like a panther coming out during twilight hours to do a sneak attack. Also, it has more definition with the added curvature on the top of the head, which is more realistic.
the font, however, is horrible. They might as well have used times new roman
Ive been preaching
the whole it looks better on a black background for days now lol! I agree the font is gabage I hate the little tabs that are attached to each letter
I think it's a large improvement over the old one
And I think people will come around, it’s pretty badass.

After a grueling minute of research
I found this site
Just on the first page are several fonts that are better. First page out of 50. I like the “Linkin Park” and “Sound Sample” fonts myself.
For the record, I like the new logo. The old one always looked cross-eyed to me. The font needs to go, though.
Rebel Command is pretty neat

I like the modern look of it.
I haven’t seen a lot of teams change logos dramatically as far back as I can remember, usually just subtle. I like the new logo and feel it would look tremendous on matte black helmets. Just my opinion but I like. Seems like another piece to the NEWton rivERA.
Actually, the Broncos did a huge change from what they had in the past.

I think..
the new logo kicks ass. Also, the lettering looks good too. New logo for a new regime and new mindset for the team.
~A bullet may have your name on it...but grenades are addressed 'to whom it may be concerned...'
I have to admit, the more time passes the more it's starting to simmer down on me.
It’s like that one song that you think is not that great at first then you listen to it a couple more times and it starts to grow on you. That’s how I feel. It’s not that bad as long as the uniforms look super cool.

If it is not broke do not fix it.
Modernization is great for microwaves and tvs but for symbols of a team it is a ploy to try and sale more jerseys than other teams. I know that most every team has at one point or another change their logos but it seems to me that when it happens it sacrifices more than it gains. I like the fact that for the most part a Panther from 95 could wear a jerseys today and it would that same. Tradition’s in sports lends itself to strenth. I know our team will be strong in any case but lol I prefer for them to leave there stylings alone. Eitherway I am fan and I and sure the modern cat will grow on me. Funny thing… never knew a cat or dog that could modernize.
I am a proud supporter of troll hunting.
And as a prime example,
I give you, the Cleveland Browns. Let's here it for consistency

lol ouch. ;-)
I have sorta cooled from being annoyed with the change. Still looks like the panther has been sucking a blue lolly pop but it looks meaner. It will grow on me.

Ok, I love the gif. I am starting to warm up to the new Panther. But I still do not like the new logo font. I agree with Shutdown Corner when they said:
The new one … ah, it’s just corporate-y letters with a few random kitty scratches in it. Boooooo. No one who made that font is here to party.
I loved the old font type, never thought it was old or needed refinishing. Always thought was rather kickass. This new font is just… well bleh. It is blocky and looks rather plain. At least the old font had some style to it. This just looks like Arial font in blue. Rather crappy if you ask me. I’ll get used to it, but I will miss the old font.

But the font is to old looking to me. I am still scared if people are finding so many faults in the new logo if we do get new jerseys if they were be better or worse. It doesnt really matter in the end to me though they are the Panthers no matter what there uniform looks like.
There are going to be a lot of complaints about the new jerseys
But it’ll grow on most people like the logo has.
He banned my alwaysloveROF account after I had pleaded to him that I am sorry
And I have sent him 5 emials apoligizing that he has clearly ignored. He said that I took my personal attacks on Procton to far and that I need to stop trying to get back on ROF. He also said he gave me plenty of warnings and he only gave me one and all I said after that was that I was just talking to Procton and he banned me that night. I admitted I was wrong and I will still admit that but there comes a point when Ben can show me a little respect after I was practically begging to come back and have been there for a year contributing almost everyday.
Yeah I'm definitely not a fan of you being banned
Ben just needs to ban Procton. I really don’t get what’s keeping him from doing it. I know he’s not breaking any specific rules, but he’s a detriment to the site. The dude clearly gets his kicks out of pissing people off on the internet, and it really hurts the community. I’ve actually (not creepily) found his twitter account and he solely uses it to bash the Panthers (especially Newton) and Bobcats and tries to provoke people like Rick Bonnell and Steve Martin.
The dude is the quintessential troll. He’s very good at finding facts and information and he seems like an intelligent guy. He must have the largest stick known to man up his ass all the time to keep him constantly pissy. The internet, and more specifically RoF, would be better without his presence. The sooner Ben realizes that, the better off the site will be.
I completly agree
MP is a waste of talent when you think about it. But he just makes everyone mad except Ben and he baited me into going crazy on him and got me banned. But as long as he is around ROF will never be fun like it used to be.
I don't understand how you miss being on that site anyways
Ben has run it into the ground with bs rules that he only enforces for some people. And it’s nothing but depressing CO types now. I’ll go somewhere else for Bobcat news.

And it’s crazy how quickly that has spread. It was on YouTube before the game was even over.
Diop shooting free throws is an adventure. What you don’t see is the second free throw, in which he tried to correct his shot. He shot it waaay too hard and it hit backboard before it hit rim.
He might as well shoot his FTs with his eyes closed. I really don’t think he could do any worse.

To be fair TS...
Most sites frown on banned people creating alter-egos just to get back in. Here at CSR we do the same thing. If you’re banned, we ban any alter-egos that are created as well.
Now, I’m not saying you should have or should not have been banned because I don’t know the whole story. (I’m assuming you didn’t do anything ban-worthy because you were involved with MP, and I know how he is because he used to be here.) However, if you were banned for personal attacks, etc. then creating new accounts to beg your way back in isn’t going to help your case very much.

This is my thinking
Ben (the manager of the site) has stated that he’s getting tired of the extensive back and forths over trivial things that aren’t basketball related. There’s one particular individual who is almost always in the middle of it, so I don’t get why he doesn’t nip the problem in the bud and just ban the guy.
Isn't rude to people?
I’ve never seen an argument involving him where he wasn’t an asshole to the person he was debating with.

One thing I do like that they fixed from the old logo
Is the whiskers, I always hated how you had one white set and one black set and it always annoyed me. Glad to see them both one color.
The blue looks weird though. Would have rather just had em all silver instead…
Proud Member of Cat Scratch Reader and coiner of the (minus Bowers) meme
plus, the whiskers look tiny...
longer whiskers would look more menacing…
I must be weird
If you showed me both logos and asked “which is more streamlined, modern and aggressive looking?” I’d go with the old one without question. The new one to me looks very cliparty. The font is atrocious at least the old font had some unique character or identity, and while it was a bit corny it really grew on me over the years

Did Jerry Do It?
The logo tweaks are tolerable. The new font absolutely sucks. It looks like Jerry Richardson dusted off his computer with Windows 98 in it that was an old Christmas gift from his kids and decided to bang out a new font look.

Ok I'm officially over my dislike of "the lip"...
After forcing myself to look at it over and over and over again, I’ve trained my brain to get used to it and stop looking at it like it’s a big blue lip. I see the intended purpose behind it now (the 3D look), and I’m on board with it.
I do hope there’s a switch to a black helmet, because honestly that 3D look would look awesome on a black helmet.
I hope the new uniforms are one of these two color schemes:
Color Scheme 1:
Color Scheme 2 (with a black helmet instead of white):

How badass is the 'all black' uni in the top-left of your first picture?
…Pretty badass if you ask me.

Yeah I've been vocal about not changing the uniforms...
But I do like the concepts in the first picture.

And since Al Davis is no longer with us, there is noone that will sue the Panthers
for daring to use silver and black in their color scheme.

He sued the Bucs too, for using the Jolly Roger, and for the sin of using a synonym of “Raider” in their team name.

I could live with the black helmet / Black Jersey / grey or black pants as our alternate duds
I think they are too hot for Charlotte other than a couple times a year.
If we currently wear white Jerseys early in the season because of the heat, I can’t imagine changing to black helmets full-time.
I did a little research...
Typically, the Panthers wear white at home in September and October because of the heat. Well, after doing some research, wearing white at home early in the year doesn’t really give the team an advantage (at least not in the win column).
In the team’s 17 year history, they’ve played 64 games at home in September or October.
- The team’s record in those games is 29-35 (.450 win %).
- The team went undefeated twice (1996 and 2008).
- The team went winless four times (1998*, 2001, 2004, 2007).
- The team went 2-2 four times (1995, 2000, 2002, 2006).
- The team only won once four times (1997, 1999, 2009, 2010).
- The team only lost once twice (2003, 2005).
- The team went 2-3 once (2011).
Given this information, I think it’s okay that they switch to black helmets. Wearing all white isn’t helping them win.
*-In 1998, they played (and won) at home on November 1. If this were counted they would have only went winless three times and would have won once five times. Also, the total would have been 65 games instead of 64, and the win percentage would be .460 instead of .450. I didn’t count it because I strictly adhered to the “September and October” rule. I’m including this note for those who feel that the 11/1 game should count in the calculations, though after writing this long note I realize that most of you won’t even care about this, because I don’t even care that much anymore.
**-Also, I’m not saying that you think wearing all white helps the team win ACA Jester, I’m just bringing this up to promote discussion amongst the group.

LOL @ the last bit of the italicized asterisk.
If we actually looked at the science of temperature and color, I don’t think it would make a tangible enough difference.
We need a nose tackle.
Plus, the new Nike uniforms are going to have all that cool-base technology shit in them, so wearing black won’t really matter.

i was gonna say that BW about the Black being a problem before because of heat. Might be the reason for change all of a sudden. New Technology allows it

Well, I'm part of the 1% who don't like the black helmet...
….so I’ll use any excuse to justify keeping the current uniforms
(except the alternate blue jersey, which always shows up as green on my TV) blech!
Jon Gruden weighs in on the new logo...
I’m telling you guys, I love this logo right here. See, this logo right here, it’s fierce I tell ya. Now, I love the old Panthers logo too…cause it certainly kicked my ass plenty of times. I remember that MNF game in Tampa like it was yesterday. Heck, I hadn’t had my butt tore up like that since I stole my granpappy’s teeth and used ‘em as land mines for my toy solders when I was a kid…but anyway I’m getting off topic here. I love the new Panthers logo man, that thing…that thing is fierce I tell ya. I wouldn’t go messin’ around with that panther, that’s for sure. This Panthers logo is the best logo in the National Football League, and that’s a fact. I tell ya man…I love it, and I love that the Carolina Panthers were bold enough to make this change.

The Carolina Panthers do not anticipate any changes in their uniform at this time, according to team spokesman Charlie Dayton.

yes according to Dayton the logo is all being changed..but they were pretty hush on the logo being changed to begin with. Long time between now and when they would have to reveal any uniform changes. I like our Uniforms i just find it weird to change the Logo and Text after all these years and not tweak the Uni’s at all

Personally I think this is a smokescreen so Nike doesn't steal the team's thunder again.
I think they’re going to take advantage of the marketing opportunity that new uniforms to match the new logo provides.

Yeah they want to sell as many new logos on old jerseys
as they can then sell them again with the new jersey styles. Gotta stay in the fans pockets.
