Trying to get two different designs in ( 'Panthers' or logo) is the odd thing to me. Just do one or the other. For example the logo instead of the wording on the Black.
Also, why not uniform them all......put a White band on the torso of the Black one.
As has been said, too similar to recent designs.
Still to add the xmas? and incorrect first season design 75 year issue and 'another excuse for a jersey' jersey to complete the set.

But that's just it with Panthers.
Sell more shirts = more £££'s yes.....but it DOESN'T in Panthers case see a bigger player budget !
If it did,how do you explain the crap we have had the last two years ?
As for our arena,there are more colours around it than Joseph's technicolor dreamcoat !!!!!!!

This story is getting way to much attention and is the same every year. Can we get back to the real issue of three missing players?

Every year on hear most people say they don't like the new jerseys but they still always seem to sell well. No matter what you'll never make a jersey that everyone likes Do they really? I see supporters in other clubs, Braehead for example, where a much higher percentage of fans are wearing the merchandise. If fact I heard Braehead put out some summer teeshirts and sold bucket loads - probably why they have a vastly improved budget this season. Like someone else already commented, sell more merchandise and increase a valuable revenue stream, which means more money and maybe enough for that 13th import or even a better quality of player, no brainer tbh. True, but with the Braehead fanbase at the minute they would buy a turd if they wrapped a purple ribbon around it. They are a new team, they haven't had time for the pessimism and malaise to set in. The fans are still excited by this new competitive team in their home town. If the fans are still the same in 20/ 30 years you would have a point. There are certain posters on here who wouldn't be satisfied, however, if we signed a contract with Reebok to make NHL style shirts... the complaint would probably be something along the lines of "...so they have money to splash on jerseys, but not on the players... What is wrong with Neil Black? ...Moran is a moron etc etc" |

People can discuss what ever they want. Instead of telling people what they can or cannot talk about don't access this thread if your not interested in it, pretty simple really. |

Is it that you see more wearing the merch, or is it that we have so many variations on colour we look divided. Steelers are a sea of orange, Braehead are a sea of purple. We're black, white, gold, maroon, brown =/ |

The cage in general is getting uninteresting these days.
Yep -- just wake me up a couple of hours before the first game starts

They aren't awful, the Yellow jersey looks quite nice but the others are average. We still have the Christmas Special and Playoff jerseys to be revealed later in the season too

I agree that the rest of our merchandise is crap To be fair some of the teams in the league run their merchandise side worse than a cut price table at a car boot sale. It's a hell of a balancing act running an EIHL team for some just keeping their heads above water and you end up with one person trying to run everything but with merchandise being a big revenue stream in all sports it really a pity that it's not exploited better. |

In fairness to nate24, I think I can see where he's coming from. It's almost as though the club (ok, GM) think that they can proudly unveil the new shirts <groan> and it will appease the masses in light of the fact there are no new signings to announce/talk about and we still have 3 (should be 4) import slots to fill. Add to that the fact that the latest 'signing news' out of the club was firstly that we are starting the season an import short and secondly that our tough guy/enforcer isn't coming. |

Thanks Ted, that is what I was going for but it wasn't the clearest message I guess, ha ha. |

But there's only so much you can say about a lack of news isn't there. The longer that goes on, the more talk there'll be, but that doesn't mean there's no room for this. I'm still unimpressed by us purposefully shorting ourselves on the import front, but again we've all had our say on that. Until it seems to be an issue during the season, if it ever is, then there's not a lot to say.
Judging the new jerseys is just a staple of an off season.

God they look terrible, they make Corey look really really fat.... Safe to say I won't be buying a shirt this season.... For such a big club we can do much much better with our merchandise... Someone needs to take control and source creative people who can design really neat stuff, that everyone wants to wear. Er, I don't think it's the jersey's fault |

Another look thanks to the IceLocker:
Quite like the patch, although not 100% on how the elbow adverts are sitting.

I think jerseys never look good on people, they are designed to go over pads which gives them a better fit and shape, once we see the team lined up in them I'm sure a lot of opinions will change as to how they look on the players as opposed to how they look on Corey/on a hanger

However, we are bleating on about 75 years since we started playing domestic hockey.With so much non hockey in amongst all that time, should we not really be celebrating the hockey played?
In a season that is our 50th competitive year.It will all be forgotten in a rush to boast a bigger number.
So ill remind all here. This season is our 50th in play.

Although they're 'bleating' about 70th rather than 75th, I agree with the crux of your point. Panthers folded and ceased to be for 20 of the years they're celebrating, there is something not quite right about that. |

Reason I also make the point is that Panthers were conceived in 1939, if they are talking about the period that we have been around in name. |

This is the photo that I sent to the club when they asked for photos. It was thought to be a picture of interest in advance of others I could have sent them BUT.....no 'thanks' or even a reply. So let's see what turns up on there celebration of pictures for 'their' 70th anniversary. It shows the first seasons kit.Nothing like the black and white spoken of.  |
