As Cam Newton failed to impress his critics in yesterday’s Pro Bowl performance, the Carolina Panthers we’re appealing to critics on a different front! According to a press release Sunday night, for the first time since joining the league in 1995, the Panthers have changed their logo. The team has a new look – are you a fan?

Completing just 9-of-27 passes for 186 yards, with three interceptions — including one that was returned for a touchdown, Cam Newton seemed to have a tough time in yesterday’s Pro Bowl game!

While Cam was plagued with overthrows in Honolulu, the Carolina Panthers were making some modifications…

In the in 18-year history of the Carolina Panthers, the organization is making its first ever adjustments to their logo. According to the Panthers, their change was designed “to provide a more aggressive, contemporary look to the logo while making it more three-dimensional for ever-increasing digital use.”

2012 The Carolina Panthers

The main tweaks are around the eye and mouth of our Panther, along with some minor changes to the team’s logotype and the “A” of “PANTHERS.”

“Subtle updates reflect a tougher, more defined panther, the evolved logo is evocative of the popular panther statues found on the grounds of Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.”

The logo changes are effective immediately and will be available on Panthers swag starting in April 2012.
