winners Womens Torrey Smith Jersey , The Panthers defense played like garbage today. There’s no nice way to say it. That’s the bottom line of how today’s 31-24 loss to the Falcons went. If the Panthers’ defense played a semi-competent game, the Panthers would be 2-0 right now. It’s unfortunate that it ended up this way, because the offense played well enough to win. It just wasn’t meant to be, it seems.Let’s dive into the winners and losers from today’s action.WinnersCam Newton: Newton had a great game today if you account for the fact that his receivers let him down multiple times by dropping perfectly thrown passes. He finished the day 32-of-45 passing for 335 yards with three touchdowns and one interception (that totally wasn’t his fault, but we’ll get to that later). Considering 14 of those receptions and 102 of those yards came from Christian McCaffrey, you can see that Newton would have probably left Atlanta with a win if his receivers would have been able to produce for him.Christian McCaffrey: As I mentioned previously, McCaffrey hauled in 14 receptions for 102 yards today and was a key factor in the Panthers moving the ball on offense. He lined up all over the field and made quality plays to keep the chains moving throughout the afternoon. It’s unfortunate that hardly anyone else stepped up, but if the Panthers can keep using McCaffrey like they did against the Falcons the offense has the potential to be dangerous this season.Jarius Wright: Wright grabbed five catches for 62 yards and a touchdown this afternoon Authentic Cam Newton Jersey , and he also picked up several key first downs for the Panthers to keep the chains moving. He is a key asset on third down and is one of the best free agent pickups the Panthers have made in a long time. The Panthers finally have their “go-to guy” on third down, and that will benefit the offense as the season progresses.D.J. Moore: Moore took his first career reception and turned it into an electrifying 51-yard touchdown reception that pulled the Panthers to within one score late in the fourth quarter. He almost hauled in the game-tying touchdown as time expired as well, but it just wasn’t meant to be. At any rate, we saw good things from Moore today and should continue to see them as he gets familiar with the speed of the NFL.Graham Gano: He buried a 54-yard field goal to give the Panthers a 3-0 lead in the first quarter. Yeah, that’s good enough to make the winner’s column today. Let that marinate for a few minutes.It’s time for the Panthers to upgrade their uniforms When the Panthers updated their uniforms in 2012, they made a few subtle changes to the logo, word font and shade of blue, and a lot of fans were disappointed at the meager effort to bring the franchise out of the firm grasp of 1973. But hey Authentic DJ Moore Jersey , at least we didn’t make our jerseys look like a big ass alarm clock, right?Charles McDonald from SB Nation spoke with artist Nate James about which uniforms in the NFL could use an upgrade, and James broke down the uniforms into three categories: Outdated Modernism, Nike Hatchet Jobs, and Fauxbacks. For the sake of this column, let’s examine what James had to say about the Panthers uniforms (yes — the Panthers are in need of a uniform upgrade) and then make our own suggestions of how new owner David Tepper can improve on a design that hasn’t changed much since 1995.Here’s what James had to say about the Panthers, who were included in the Outdated Modernism category:I think James makes a good point. The Panthers have a good base to work with. A few subtle changes would really make a difference, though. But what should those changes be? Let’s name a few Authentic James Bradberry Jersey , shall we?Can we please get a black helmet?This shouldn’t be that hard to accomplish. Just take the silver ones and paint them black. I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve never seen a panther with a silver head. We’ve all seen the image below on CSR, but wouldn’t that make an amazing helmet for the Panthers to wear? Please, Mr. Tepper... make this happen.nikeblog.comDrop the silver pants and use black/white/blue onesA lot of fans love the all-black look that debuted in 2012, and while I am notorious on this website for thinking it’s overrated, I do believe that if a majority of fans want the team to wear all black, they should at least entertain the idea. I’ve also defended my position by saying that the black pants would look better if they made a few changes, which brings me to my next suggestion...Remove the comically large stripes on the pants1995 called Womens David Mayo Jersey , and they want their wide tapered stripes back. The Panthers’ uniforms would look 1000% better if they did something about those ugly stripes on the pants. Literally any change would be an improvement, but here’s one suggestion:the313connection.wordpress.comIsn’t that so much better? In fact, those could be the actual uniforms if not for two small changes: the stripe on the helmet and the number/letter font. Speaking of which...Update the number font to the 21st centuryIt’s not 1973 anymore. We don’t need to use standard block numbers on the jersey. We need something fresh, something different. Something... unique. Something like this:sportslogos.netThis also goes back to the point above about changing the striping — the Panthers could follow this template and the uniform would look a lot better. These small changes would go a long way towards updating the Panthers’ uniforms while keeping the elements that have been present from the beginning. And like James said, they don’t need to do much... just a small update will be sufficient.What do you think, Panthers fans? How would you upgrade the Panthers uniforms?
