I can’t see if this has already been posted; new sponsorship on next season’s jerseys has been revealed. goo.gl/oDKXCF |

All that nonsense about now being called ‘The Nottingham’ Panthers (because obviously we all struggled to locate the team before)... and the jersey has ‘Nottingham Building Society’ in larger print than the logo?
It’s a no from me.

I'm also disappointed at the size of the sponsor logo, I guess that's what they paid big bucks for thoughm

Yep, I’m not a fan of them, too much going off on the front, too cluttered.

I don't mind the designs of the jerseys, but agree that the sponsor logo is a bit much. Bit surprised the Building Society are happy with it tbh, looks a mess to me.
Still, doesn't affect me, and they've paid the big moolah so that's the way it goes.
lol at how small that jersey is on Tetlow.

The club have updated their photo on the Facebook page and I have to say, it’s looks much better than what’s on the jersey.  As Yotes mentions, it doesn’t overly bother me personally & if this means the club has a nice fat wad of cash, then so be it. I won’t be buying one mind. |

Would be interesting to see what their normal logo:  in gold/black/white looks like over the panther. Surprising they've deviated from it so much. For jersey bods the game weight option is a nice addition. |

Now that logo looks one hell of a lot better than the jersey version... Not madly impressed by the overall design of the jerseys - again. Maybe they'll look better out on the ice (which has happened a few times). Certainly not going to be forking out for one - even though the 'game quality' idea is a good one (still somewhat overpriced, I think). |

Yes, the “game quality” jersey sounds a good idea; it’s a shame that idea wasn’t floated before the club adopted sublimated jerseys.

Why they didn't put 'Panthers' beneath the logo in the same colour and font style as 'The Nottingham' is beyond me.
The jersey's look dreadful, material looks of less quality than previous seasons with Warrior.
Fingers crossed we don't play in line with how we're dressed!

That new logo and the shirts are bloody awful. Surely the most important word that should be on our shirts before any other is PANTHERS. Sometimes i seriously wonder if there is even a single brain cell in that Panthers office !!!!!! 🙄🙄 |

I think it should say Panthers. If you didn’t know differently,our logo could be a cat.....or pretty much any feline for that matter. 🙄 |

I just can't understand (with them being printed nowadays) why they just couldn't have put 'Panthers' around the bottom of the logo just to make it complete  |

Not sure about the fuss about why it doesn’t say panthers, when was the last time it actually said the word “panthers” on the jersey?

Yeah, I'm not bothered about the jerseys not having the word "Panthers" on them (save that for vintage looking alternates), but I am a bit disappointed and surprised by the inclusion of "building society". I'm disappointed in the way it has been realised as it just seems a bit amateur. I'm surprised, as others have commented, because they seem to brand themselves simply as "The Nottingham" these days, so why choose to go with "Nottingham Building Society" on the jerseys!?
It's a shame that my rec hockey team have nicer quality jerseys than our elite level team but it's the players we recruit and the way they play that matters really.

In all fairness, it’s not the worst jersey I think Panthers have played in, I’d say that honour goes to this dumpster fire:  |

I'm a critic of all as regards things including Jerseys.
Whilst I think more effort could be made towards style I'm happy with the colours.
No need for complaint over the name. It, after all, does show Nottingham (be it in our sponsors name also) on the shirt which we have moaned about for ages NOT being there.The 'building society' part is smaller to eleborate the Nottingham part more. Which after all IS the new name for the society anyway but adding 'building society' sells it to people beyond our back doors.
Has what is expected.
The logo is our Panthers logo so the Panther is represented.

Who says it’s a Panther,it could easily be a Puma on our shirts. After all,we do have a blow up on ice Bear and a giant Teddy for a mascot ! Lol 🙄🤣 |

We should have a brief history of the Nottingham Panthers, and a description of ice hockey, on the jerseys. Just in case someone sees them and gets confused.
