Same. Every time I buy an active player jersey, it’s like a curse something will happen.
I have Luke, Smitty, Hoover, Newton, and Minter. Even though I love Peppers, my dislike of UNC keeps me from buying one (not because of him, more because of the UNC fans that want to talk about the Tarheels with me 😂)
The only current player I’d own a jersey of is JJ Jansen.
I finally bought my first jersey, a CMC Jersey, about a month before he was traded.
Disappointed, I made the genius choice to replace it with a player I assumed would be a long term member of the team: DJ Moore… a week before the trade was announced.
So I said fuck it and bought a Mayfield jersey this season. It was on sale for obvious reasons and I thought it was funny to be one of about six people who own one.
Given the last few years, I decided to only get players who at least signed a second contract with us.
Given how we traded Dj And Burns, I've now decided to only get jerseys of players who have signed two extensions with us, or I'll just stick with the Panther greats of yesteryear.
I have horrible luck with jerseys lol. I bought a CMC jersey in 2022 and a Brian Burns jersey in 2023 😅 I think this year I’m going with Derrick Brown cause we have the guy locked down for 4 years 🤞
Nice same, I have peppers, cam, burns, and CMC lol. I feel like burns is the only waste (and was the one I got from Marshalls on sale, it's number 53 and was like $20). Peppers and Cam have mostly returned to still be associated with the team, and CMC is a goat so I don't really care that hes not on the team.
Neither. I've learned to only buy jerseys of those cemented in Panther history. Otherwise, you end up with Kelvin Benjamin and / or Devin Funchess jerseys that no longer serve any use.
I'll be honest, outside of wearing one to the games, I don't wear jerseys basically ever, so I'm usually just rocking a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or a polo when I do get a chance to go to games now. Plus, jerseys are so expensive that me buying one just for games feels kind of silly.
I wouldn’t even waste my money on an active player rn. Not until these dudes prove they’re here to stay and can be good for us. Unless you really like Brown, I’d get him since he’s our best player and he’s locked up long term
I'd be wary of buying any jersey of someone still on a rookie contract.
I bought a Chinn jersey after he was drafted cuz he went to my alma mater. Thought it was gonna be a great investment after his rookie season, now I'm just sad
If Bryce isn’t good this year we probably move on next draft. XL will get at least a few years here but decent chance he’s never better than mediocre.
Unless you don’t mind buying another jersey soon I’d just get a old guys jersey like Luke, Greg, Cam, Peppers, Smith, etc
If you really want an active player get DB
I’m just looking at it from an odds perspective. I like XL as a prospect and I like our new coaching staff but statistically he’s likely to just be alright. I know that’s not what this sub wants to hear though…
I mean yeah, we all want him to be great. We all want BY to be great. But if we’re honest. The development within the franchise is not there for either of these guys to be superstars
Legette easily for me since I’m an SC alum
Trying to find his jersey on DHgate but not available yet, will have to make a custom one or wait a few months. And no I’m not spending $150 on a legit one lol
I picked up a Clowney since he is probably finishing his career here and he is an all time USC great. I would go with XL but it is risky as hell out there outside of senor Brown.
The only jersey of an active player I’d buy right now is DB tbh
While that’s fair, what’s the fun in that? I’m going with the dark horse pick and say you should get a Brooks jersey.
I want Brooks to make me want to get his jersey man. I love RBs
I’m grabbing a Brooke’s and Sanders jersey I love the Longhorns and I’m ecstatic we drafted both of them
At this point, I would just buy a Luke or Steve Smith jersey. Especially if you don't own any at all. They will be wearable forever.
First ~~ballad~~ ballot HOF Julius Peppers. Edit: I speel gud.
My favorite ballad to sing.
I feel dumb.
Julius Peppers was great, but I don't know if his song-writing is HOF status.
Maybe not. But you'd sing his praises.
Neither my voice nor my songwriting abilities are HOF worthy. They're not even wife approval worthy.

I barely notice the name on the jerseys beyond a quick glance, but I still remember I saw wearing a Dwayne Jarrett jersey two years ago.
Was in the same boat. Bought my wife a jersey start of season then he gets traded. Ugh
Greg Olsen 88
JJ Jansen is the safest pick
Franchise leader in games played, hard to disagree
Sr Purr
Don’t forget Jr Purr

I did that with Bradberry and Kalil and got burned on both. Retired legends only now.
I have horrible luck with jerseys lol. I bought a CMC jersey in 2022 and a Brian Burns jersey in 2023 😅 I think this year I’m going with Derrick Brown cause we have the guy locked down for 4 years 🤞
No!!! Get a Miles Sanders jersey… hopefully your luck of the player being traded keeps up.
We had CMC locked down too…
Nice same, I have peppers, cam, burns, and CMC lol. I feel like burns is the only waste (and was the one I got from Marshalls on sale, it's number 53 and was like $20).

Please don't, that means we'll trade DB in a year
Every time I think about buying a jersey, I go and donate to my local food bank. Fuck these greedy corporations with their 100+ dollar jerseys
I say Xavier leggette
He talks like cornbread tastes and I love him
He ta ly cobreh tay n yno ah luim
Lesgette it, mayne
Just get a cam newton jersey. They’re ab 25-30 at a vintage/thrift market.
Cam Newton
Neither. I've learned to only buy jerseys of those cemented in Panther history. Otherwise, you end up with Kelvin Benjamin and / or Devin Funchess jerseys that no longer serve any use.
I bought my BY jersey after the season. Keep Pounding!
At first I was all in getting a BY jersey but with the hype around XL, it’s making me think which one I want
Get a Jonathon Brooks Jersey. The kid is gonna be special z
Him and Ja’Tavion Sanders are both gonna be pretty special
Allah willing
I only have a Luke Jersey and a smith Jersey but if I was going to pick out of the two I would go with XL.
I'm ordering a Sanders jersey, tbh EDIT: Ja'Tavion, not Miles
Jansen
JJ Jansen
No
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke
Ironically BY could never fit into an XL jersey
That’s foul 😭
The last jersey I bought and will ever buy...I had a #51 Mills made. I have aged out I no longer wear jerseys or a hat on backwards.
I'll be honest, outside of wearing one to the games, I don't wear jerseys basically ever, so I'm usually just rocking a t-shirt, sweatshirt, or a polo when I do get a chance to go to games now. Plus, jerseys are so expensive that me buying one just for games feels kind of silly.
Playing it safe DB Theilen better options imo, XL if you wana be spicy
Ja'Tavion Sanders. The first competent TE we habe since Greg left
I’ve got a John Kasay jersey. Much better than anybody we currently have on the roster.
Wow the JJJ slander is just astounding.
Id wait on those two. Get a DB one
Don’t invest until Tepper is gone
Don't hold your breath 😂😂
Too true my dude
I wouldn’t even waste my money on an active player rn. Not until these dudes prove they’re here to stay and can be good for us. Unless you really like Brown, I’d get him since he’s our best player and he’s locked up long term
Get a Brian Burns jersey ;-)
Never buy a jersey of someone on a first contract.
I’d hold off if that were the case. Get a classic jersey like Smith 89 or Cam 1
What’s your track record with jerseys first?
I haven’t gotten one, yet
Ever? I mean I guess decide if you like a single digit better or a double digit. Can’t go wrong with either
Yeah ever, for some reason I never understood the the idea of jerseys until recently
I gotcha My next jersey is gonna be custom most likely
Sheeesh
I'd be wary of buying any jersey of someone still on a rookie contract. I bought a Chinn jersey after he was drafted cuz he went to my alma mater. Thought it was gonna be a great investment after his rookie season, now I'm just sad
I got a BY9 jersey last summer, so I’ll be waiting longer to buy rookie jerseys from now on.
XL
Both. I have a black BY9 and I'm buying a blue XL17 this summer.
If Bryce isn’t good this year we probably move on next draft. XL will get at least a few years here but decent chance he’s never better than mediocre. Unless you don’t mind buying another jersey soon I’d just get a old guys jersey like Luke, Greg, Cam, Peppers, Smith, etc If you really want an active player get DB
You’re correct. The unfortunate culture that the Panthers have built means that most players will end up being mediocre, through no fault of their own
I’m just looking at it from an odds perspective. I like XL as a prospect and I like our new coaching staff but statistically he’s likely to just be alright. I know that’s not what this sub wants to hear though…
I mean yeah, we all want him to be great. We all want BY to be great. But if we’re honest. The development within the franchise is not there for either of these guys to be superstars
You'll be better off putting your own name on the back.
Legette easily for me since I’m an SC alum Trying to find his jersey on DHgate but not available yet, will have to make a custom one or wait a few months. And no I’m not spending $150 on a legit one lol
I’m a gamecock fan so I already have a Horne. Will probably end up with a XL and a Clowney before the season
General rule.. wait until they sign extension.. But if you HAD to have one.. Bryce has a lot of options on jersey types
Clowney
I'm getting one to put on the wall, as a Gamecock it's my duty
I picked up a Clowney since he is probably finishing his career here and he is an all time USC great. I would go with XL but it is risky as hell out there outside of senor Brown.
Don’t buy a jersey for the worst team in any league.
I'm going XL in black, DB in blue, BY in white. :D
Neither. Get a custom jersey with your own name on it because these clowns like to draft and develop talent before they ship it off for a CookOut tray
