What's the difference? The panthers have always had one of the best jerseys and logos in the league.

I wanted to see a Panther standing on his hind legs, a broken-necked buccaneer between it's paws, a dead falcon in it's mouth, and whizzinating on a Saints logo.

I kind of like it, but I didn't really have a problem with the old logo. This just means that I have a lot of new gear to buy, which I'm sure is the main reason for the change in the first place. I hate the Carolina Panthers script though. I think the old version was really nice.

I don't think the old logo was out dated. I liked it, as someone above said, they have (had) one of the best logos in football. That being said, though slight, I think the new logo is an improvement. It makes sense for them to keep it close since the old logo was pretty good to begin with.
As far as I know, the jerseys are changing this season as well (as they are also going to nike), so I don't think this is a money making move. I think this is kinda a symbol of a new era in Panthers football. New coaching, new QB, new winning style in 2012. New Jerseys and Logo..

I wish they would have gone to a more radical change.

In a jungle and seeing the two..the old one would scare me more. That being said if nobody told me I would have never noticed the change.

So the Panther is holding its breath and in so doing has turned its whiskers blue?-QG
Agreed on the text, looks terrible. I like the new logo, althought I didn't dislike the old one. I just think the old text was much better. The new text looks like someone who just found a new font on Word and thinks it looks good.

Maybe that will be in a upcoming Carolina Panther's illustrated children's book. I like the small changes to the Panther, but I prefer the old text.

The Detroit Pistons did it in the NBA. :X 1996-2001I was so relieved to see them go back to something that at least resembles the bad boy era Pistons. 2005-Present'azgroover said:
ETA: I just noticed that you were talking about expansion teams but still I could not pass this post without mentioning the puke that the Pistons put on all of their #### for those handful of years.

They should've just put Cam Newtons face on their helmets. Although that's a really bad idea... They'd get flagged by the refs on every play for roughing the QB.

Yep, I'm a Pistons fan too and considered putting them on the list. What a horrible era in Piston hoops. No wonder Grant Hill wanted out.

this is equivalent to adjusting a picture hanging on the wall

That graphic designer was a ####### genius. He probably cashed the checks right away, partied in vegas for a few weeks then after his hangover realized he had 3 hours to present. He Whips this up in photoshop by distorting the old logo and adds some crappy font and bam. New Logo!

Agreed, it was already good, so why change it completely? Like the picture, you didn't change it, you like it, it just needed to be adjusted.

Was thinking more along the lines of "Jerry Richardson let his nephew do the rebrand."He's supposed to be super cheap, right?

Hmmm....interesting. It's not like Dwayne Johnson has been doing much lately. Perhaps he's added "mascot model" to his CV.

Common misconception because he refused to spend money two seasons ago because of the pending lockout. Other than that season, Richardson has never been tight, and is fully willing to spend money. The Panthers are always right up against the cap.'5-ish Finkle said:Was thinking more along the lines of "Jerry Richardson let his nephew do the rebrand."He's supposed to be super cheap, right?'Insein said:

Actually, as funny as this is, it's not far from the truth in the industry. I've had plenty of "hey I need this in 3 hours" type of jobs. Here is my professional opinion (20 years in graphic design):'Insein said:
Now in this case, though the new design changes may look subtle, they really aren't. The new logo is significantly streamlined and is much cleaner looking. The eyes are more prominent, the whiskers are less pronounced and the teeth are more menacing. Removing the black outline around the logo also give the logo the appearance of jumping off the page. The black outline is more of a cartoon element. So it was smart to eliminate it. The head is also more rounded and approaches a more realistic look. Overall, I like they revision.
As for the text, that old font screams glam pop metal. Fonts are very susceptible to becoming part of a time or culture. In this case, the new font is more contemporary and will have more potential to look a little more timeless as the logo ages. Many corporations spend a lot of time and energy to find a font that will not only be associated with their company, but will be timeless. You don't want to be continually revising your fonts. So in this case, I really like what they have done.
Now, should they have done a complete redesign, I don't think so? Why? Because the old logo is now very established and a complete redesign would have potentially alienated the fanbase. You don't want to lose out on those merchandising dollars. Only in some rare cases should an established team's logo be completely redone from scratch. The Buccaneers logo is a perfect example of a complete redesign. That old swashbuckler had to go. Not just because it was bad, but it was associated with a losing team. They new logo was a step in the direction a team wanting to disassociate itself with the past. I don't think the Panthers fit that description, thus the cleaning up of the old logo.

I like the new one. Also, in that picture, both the old one and the new one are outlined in white, but the actual new one will not be outlined in white, which I think makes it even better.
