EDIT:

I'm sure people have seen it but VIA PFT the new panthers helmet from earlier today

Now, that's a bad ass helmet.

looks like an Arena Football helmet. Or XFL.

It's not bad, but I hope its just an alternate. i dig the panthers regular helmets.

Nah, I hated those old helmets. Looked like a comic drawing or something.

I didn't think it was possible, but the Nike managed to turn a NFL uniform into a soccer uniform. That "thing" really looks like its missing some ads.

The only thing I like is the helmet.

Hypercool. Hyperwarm. Hyperstrong. Elements in under garment to be worn under uni.

Nike Elite 51. That's what they're calling it.

Why are the unis so tight? They dont look like they have room for the pads. Whatever that model for the seacawks is wearing is that hex padding, not full on football pads

the drawing is maybe marginally different, but yeah I never cared for the logo itself, I guess,but i prefer the design of the old helmet itself and the silver helmet color.

As long as they fixed the sleeves on our uni's, I'll be happy. I think.

Pads are getting smaller and more absorption in them, part of Nike's process was bodymapping, looking for a way to make the uni's as much like skin as possible, reducing drag and excess cloth.
