PrintUPDATE 06/24/11: Here's the real deal
Panthers /fans have been discussing the possible new jersey for next season ever since news was leaked. Fans wondered if the third would become the new home jersey or if the Panthers would bring back the original red or would it be something completely different? Up until now, no one has known what it will look like, but we at Litter Box Cats have gotten our hands on a concept of the final graphic, subject, of course to league approval.
No, don't ask how we got it. We're sworn to secrecy. The new look and discussion after the jump.
The new look Panthers home jersey is much like the current third. The Blue, though similar to some of the Penguins' alternates, is perfect for the Panthers new Blueprint. This will also allow the team to continue the very popular "blue outs" will introduced this season. Also subject to league approval is Team President Michael Yormark's idea to change the team name to the Florida JetBlues. As he explained earlier this week, "From a marketing standpoint, I'd like to think we're out of the box. We like to do things on the cutting edge."
He also relishes the idea of getting sponsorship on the jerseys, saying "The dollars that have been generated in European soccer with jersey sponsorships have been absolutely enormous. I do believe it presents an incredible opportunity, and I'm hopeful that one day it's something the National Hockey League does take seriously."
The Panthers seem to have decided that "one day" should be "as soon as possible" and have taken steps to introduce the newest frontier of sponsorship to the National Hockey League. The Panthers' heritage will be signaled with the Panther shoulder patches, much like how the Calgary Flames use the old Atlanta Flames' logo as the "A" on their alternate captains' jerseys.

I had this sniffed out as soon as I saw it. Clearly, no company as respectable as JetBlue would want their name on the front of our jerseys. We’d clearly sell the space to Blum and Silver, with the moniker “Made a Bad Investment?” with our logo on the front. That screams Yormark way more than this.
We all keep forgetting Yormark view the problem differently than us. To him, he runs an arena with a hockey team problem. We’re all looking at it backwards, caring about the hockey team with a greedy, arena-running jackass problem.
No, it's not.
If there’a a God that loves us, this will never happen. But when it comes to the dollar, never say never.

I’m innocent! However, this seems to be a growing trend…

Ours look better.
Anyway, when this happens (notice I said when not *if), it will be more like this: http://blog.syracuse.com/today/2008/12/cru_081219_harvey.jpg

I like the Panthers submissions with two nits:
I want the leaping Panther on the front. Stick or no stick, I don’t care, but it’s got to be the panther head that Beezer had on his helmet.
The shoulders should taper to a point. I don’t know if it’s possible in the new RBK jerseys but if they can have them, they should.
OK, three nits: get rid of the off-color piping.
Sigh, hit the enter button
In regards to the real upcoming jerseys, would you guys like a redesigned logo or would yoh like them to use our current road/home panther logo.

Prefer the current logo but I’m open to other possibilities

I was looking at all of the rough drafts for the logo in the Den of Honor while I was there, I saw one that was a full side view of a Panther ready to pounce with the shoulder patch sun in the background. I thought it was pretty cool

Too funny. I honestly think the league is going to give a big no no no to any decals on the jerseys. I do see the NHL allowing more promos though on stuff in the rink. One area which Yormack will try is a logo on the netting, crossbars of the goal post. Next, logos will be on helmets and pants of the NHL players .
The JErseys sell and are most $$$, so why ruin a good marketing product. Everything else, I am sure will be up for grabs unfortuantely..
LoL
If Yormark was in Bettman’s circle of buddies then this would be a sad reality.
