What do you think?

I like the idea. I think it needs to be a little more refined though. The fangs should be more bold and white. Right now they look like they're just spray-painted on and it seems kind of shabby. Also, it would be a lot more effective if the fangs were the exact fangs from the Panthers logo (though that obviously violates the trademark). Did you consider going to the Panthers and having them produce/sell it? You probably wouldn't turn much of a profit but that would be the best way to make it popular fast.

this thread is not for rubbing your previous comments in my face.

112 views so far, and only this many replies?!?!? is it really that hard to post something?

I was just pointing out that the potential problems with your mask were made known awhile ago. Taking note then would have allowed a better plan of attack when the problems did present themselves.

I hope something does come out of this for you. I would never buy one of the masks, but I hope you work something out. Good luck.

I don't really care for them myself but I'm sure some people would.

I tried to tell you the same thing that the GC and brother-in-law are telling you, but I tried to tell you last January.

taken from the original thread.

But the GC and my Brother-In-Law are Intellectual Property Attorneys.

my original plan was to use the exact fangs from the logo. as for the quality...they are the best I can do at home without a screen printer.

i have been talking to the panthers and they said to talk to a company that is already licensed.

i was aware of the problems, and have taken the time during this offseason to see if they were real, and try to find a way around them.

can't spread more rep to MadHatter.

Cosmo...if they were more girly would you wear one?

And I'm a licensed attorney that took several IP classes during law school. I am not downgrading anyone. I just tried to point out how easy the problems were to see, even earlier this year.

NP...did not know you were an attorney.

My Brother-In-Law did say that the fangs were not exactly like those on the Panther logo. However, they were close. He said that KK may have an arguement, but it was not worth the risk (in his opinion).

my .02...

On an adult it looks more like drive by gear than game day gear. I just don't see much of a market in the 30+ age ranges. If its got a market, that market is very young. Maybe the ticket is to target it at the same demographic as the face painting stands and the Panthers Lair. You could do worse than to have every 8-12 year old boy at BOA for a home game wanting one.

i'm almost 31. i'm just still very kid like in a lot of things. video games, etc.

Some of the ones taken off my hands last season were to fans around the same age, and even older. I think it's all in the person's mind. If you like it, you wear it no matter your age. Kids would likely need smaller ones since the past ones were made for melon heads like mine.

[CosmoGirl]

I doubt I'd wear it if it were more girly. It annoys me to not see someone's mouth moving when they speak.

[Kettle]

it might mess up your makeup too

I will be posting a link to my saran wrap bikinis a little later

No need, I'll buy one for Jersey Cat, Cosmo and Ellen right now...

[Zod]

OK, but Ellen's is going to cost more for the top being made of triple ply

As mentioned earlier, makes it very hard to swallow gallons of beer. The design is okay and the product itself is a clever idea. I was considering purchasing one for the playoff game last year. Still may end up buying one for this upcoming season.
