Back to Seeing Red

Over the weekend, the Florida Panthers unveiled their new home jerseys.  Thanks to the fine folks at Icethetics, we now have first pictures of the new jersey the Panthers will be wearing in the 2011-12 season.  Now, when I first saw these jerseys during the televised first round of the NHL Draft, I felt that there was something missing, namely the white separating the red from the blue, like there was on the Panthers' original red threads.  Looking at the jerseys now, I still think having some white separate the red from the blue would make things great, but given that there is an absence of piping on the jerseys like there were on the navy blues and the road whites, perhaps it was for the best.  The new reds are simplified, and should be an instant hit for Panthers fans...all 100 of them (kidding).
