Something that is complete CRAP about the Panthers team store

[pantherj]

Star is doing a great job, but who wants a Star jersey right now? What football fans are buying up rookie DT jerseys? TD is the heart and soul of this franchise, but Nike is clueless. They need to stick to what they know, exploiting Asian people for criminally cheap labor.

The Carolina Panthers outsources all the retail and concessions inside of BOA. The Carolina Panthers to not manage any of it. It's just like any store you find at the mall. They are only going to sell the fastest moving items.

I've always thought it was dumb to have to customize a jersey of a player that's currently on the team.

They need another store or make it bigger. Is is way too fugin crowded in there. Smells like armpits and beer and you can taste it due to how sticky and moist the air is; my favorite!

A couple things here. Number 1, it's mostly a Nike problem. Nike have been real snobs towards the Panthers, they offer a very small selection of best sellers and don't give the Panthers the personal attention that Reebok did. When Reebok was our Apparel provider they had plenty of less common players in the team store. Guys like John Kasay, Chris Gamble, even Jordan Gross or Brad Hoover.

 

This brings me to no.2. When Thomas Davis had his third knee operation the team store liquidated his stock. Thomas Davis was insulted when he went to the store to buy some stuff for his family and they had 58 jerseys marked down to 5 bucks. Literally, a $5 bill.

 

So when TD made his comeback Nike was the provider and they have been very difficult to work with. That is why you see the Panthers selling more 47 brand and other obscure brands.

 

 

Today I checked out the team store for they first time. I was going to buy something that I have always wanted, a #58 Thomas Davis jersey. But guess what, THEY DONT CARRY HIS JERSEY!!! It's a special order only.

Really??? TD, who I believe is a defensive captain(?), doesn't have his freaking jersey on sale at the stadium he plays in? But for some reason, they carried Stars jersey, who is a rookie.

If this message could somehow make it to the Panthers front office, that would be great. This team needs to show him the respect that he deserves.

That is all.

Got a Star jersey for my birthday, still a travesty they don't have Nike jersey's for some of the better known players. They have the proline jerseys for everyone on the team, not sure of their quality.

Like I said on every forum, fug Nike!!!!!!!

Back before TD injured his knee they had his and Lucas jerseys on sale for $25. I thought long and hard then made the wrong choice. I ended up giving my Lucas jersey away to a Chinese exchange student friend who still wears it proud back in China. I guess for that reason it still turned out okay.

Those aren't Nike jerseys though, they are special "made for NFL Shop" jerseys. They won't have the Nike logo on them, and aren't made by Nike (not sure who makes those). Perhaps you don't care, but just be aware you're not buying a $100 Nike Game Jersey - you're buying something else entirely.

 

Edit: They call it their "Pro Line"

 

From the Mike Tolbert Pro Line jersey description:

 

The official Carolina Panthers Pro Line NFL® jersey is manufactured on behalf of NFL Shop and is not manufactured by Nike®. The Pro Line NFL® jersey is only sold through NFL Shop. The Pro Line NFL® jersey is crafted with polyester premier mesh and designed with printed front and back numbers, letters, and logos. The Nike® logo does not appear on this jersey.
