The Carolina Panthers players and coaches had a day off from practice on Tuesday, but the PR team sure didn’t. Here are some developments that Carolina fans may find exciting.
Carolina Panthers Off Day Recap
Panthers Hint at Midfield Makeover
The Panthers twitter team definitely didn’t see Tuesday as an off day. They posted a cryptic tweet hinting at the possibility of a major change at Bank of America Stadium this year.

This recent piece broke down potential changes that new owner David Tepper could make in the near future and the Panthers midfield logo has been a hot topic for fans all summer. This would be a welcome and exciting change to a franchise that is trying to quickly put its past behind it.
Jersey Schedule Released
But the Panthers weren’t done making groundbreaking announcements on Twitter. The ever-coveted jersey schedule was released on Tuesday as well. For those who are unaware, a jersey schedule lists what uniforms the team will be wearing game-by-game during a season. Below is the Panthers jersey schedule for 2018.

Carolina will open the season wearing their white jerseys for the first six weeks. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the team has exhibited an affinity for lighter uniforms during the warmer months of the season.
Carolina won’t be wearing their home black jerseys until a Week 9 home matchup against the divisional rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers didn’t lose in 2017 when they wore those jerseys.
Blue alternate jerseys will only be worn once during the regular season this year, in a Week 8 bout with the Baltimore Ravens. These are not, however, expected to be accompanied by the color rush blue pants that have been worn over the past few seasons.
Speaking of pants, the Panthers have black ones. Jerry Richardson didn’t like them, but he’s gone now. Pants are not included in the jersey schedule and can be decided on a game-to-game basis. It’s time for the Panthers to bring back this classic look:

That look is just mean. The Panthers should wear them at least once a year. So what if they haven’t ever won a regular season game while wearing them? It’s a new era in Charlotte and the Panthers need to make it happen.
That’s about as exciting as an off-day during the off-season can get, Panthers fans. Tomorrow the pads will be popping again and the action will be covered here at Last Word on Pro Football.
