: 74 days to go We are 74 days from the start of the Carolina Panthers’ 2018 campaign. Today gets two representatives Cheap Donte Jackson Jersey , Kyle Friend and Kendrick Norton. Kyle Friend, centerBioHeight: 6’0”Weight: 295 poundsAge: 24College: TempleNFL Experience: 2 yearsFriend went unselected in the 2016 NFL Draft but was able to secure a deal with the New York Jets as a free agent. He was released after training camp and was on and off the Jets practice squad for the duration of his rookie season. In February of the following year, Friend signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Again unable to make the final roster, he spent the entire season on the practice squad. Friend was invited to try out for the Panthers in early May and did well enough to earn himself a spot on the 90 man roster. He’ll probably be on the outside looking in come final cut downs, but he’s a prime candidate to land on his third practice squad in as many years. Kendrick Norton, DTBioHeight: 6’2”Weight: 315 poundsAge: 21College: Miami (FL)NFL Experience: RookieContrary to what his pre-draft profile may tell you, this Norton bears no relation to boxing legend Ken Norton nor Seahawks defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. The Panthers selected Norton with the 242nd pick of the NFL draft, adding him to a defensive tackle room that was already flush with depth. With Kawann Short, Vernon Butler, and Dontari Poe virtual locks to make the roster, Norton will have to beat out coach favorite Kyle Love and a trio of other young prospects to make the final roster. NFL.com’s draft profile of Norton had him pegged as a 4th or 5th rounder, so the talent is there to make the final roster. He doesn’t put up flashy stats, but he can backup Dontari Poe at the nose tackle spot. The 2019 draft day cap available from New Era is pretty darn grotesque, but are there worse already available for sale?"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Keep Sounding PodcastPanthers 2019 NFL DraftCSR Film RoomThe top 10 ugliest Carolina Panthers hatsNew,35commentsThe 2019 draft day cap available from New Era is pretty darn grotesque Custom Donte Jackson Jersey , but are there worse already available for sale?EDTShareTweetShareShareThe top 10 ugliest Carolina Panthers hatsChuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsYesterday, New Era released pictures of their 2019 NFL Draft team hats, and the internet was set ablaze with horror. The Carolina Panthers probably got one of the worst of the bunch, and I personally believed that there couldn’t possibly be an uglier hat. So to that end, I started searching the internet in pursuit of some that might be even worse. I did lay out some ground rules to try and keep things fair.The hats must have the current logo and be available for purchase. We all know we had some truly grotesque creations back in the mid 90s with our electric font. With the new logo, we should have moved on. We did not.The hats must be standard baseball cap style.The hats cannot be simply alternately colored versions of a basic hat. For example, a red Panthers hat and logo made to coordinate with a specific outfit. I made one exception to this, which you’ll see in a moment.Without further adieu... here are my findings:10. New Era 2018 NFL Draft hat “Two States One Team”neweracap.comNew Era is going to be responsible for a lot of hats on this list, and they are forming a tradition of terrible draft hats. Everyone loves a nice bulky embroider of a slogan that only the Carolina Panthers find helpful in marketing themselves to two separate states. The problem, is that a person lives in just one of those two states, if at all. 9. New Era Carolina Panthers Color Rush 9FIFTY Snapbackneweracap.comThe problem with blotting out the entire Panthers logo into one color, is that the logo relies on the different colors to provide a 3D contour to the face of the Panther. This one is particularly bad, because it makes the Panther look like someone hit it in the nose with a baseball bat.8. New Era “When you stroke your Panthers head too hard”http://www.officialpanthersfootballauthentic.comIt’s like someone drew the team logo, but then sprayed it with water so that everything sagged. Or, it looks like my cat when I pet his head too firmly. Either way Donte Jackson Jersey Discount , leave the logo alone!7. Carolina Panthers Galaxy Snapback Hathttp://www.soundincentive.orgThis hat would probably be the ugliest hat, if it weren’t clearly intended to be ostentatious. There is a big difference between designing a hat to stand out by being hideous, and designing a hat that you think looks good which is actually hideous. This is the former, and would probably be championed by children, hipsters ironically watching sports, and millennials.6. New Era Carolina Panthers Zubaz Allover 9TWENTY Adjustableneweracap.comFor that time when you’re a Panther trying to blend in with a herd of electric blue Zebras, this would be perfect. We are starting to tread into “Myrtle Beach Strip Hat” territory here, and also in this next one...5. New Era Carolina Panthers Marbled 9FIFTY Snapbackneweracap.comOkay. Now THIS is classic Myrtle Beach. Take something decent and airbrush the hell out of it, more stylish, right? Now let’s go eat terrible eggs at a “Famous Pancake House,” relax on 5 square feet of beach, and sit in traffic for an hour between each.4. Carolina Panthers Fluorescent Snap-back hathttp://www.soundincentive.orgThis is also apparently a New Era cap, but I couldn’t find a trace of it on New Era’s site, probably for good reason. That was extremely ill advised. Yo dawg, I heard you like Panthers logos Donte Jackson Jersey Super Bowl , so I put more Panthers logos in your Panthers logos. 3. New Era Carolina Panthers 2019 Draft Spotlight 59FIFTY Fittedneweracap.comThis is an alternate version of the much talked about 2019 Draft hat from New Era, and honestly, it’s a vast improvement over the blocky mess of the official one. Keeping things together in one color, that I’m guessing is supposed to represent the dark blue that both states share in their flags (even though that isn’t this particular blue), helps to keep this one cleaner looking. It still bothers me that the logos are not centered over each other, and that really this was ever attempted in the first place.2. New Era Carolina Panthers 2019 Draft On Stage Low Profile 59FIFTY Fittedneweracaps.comTerrible. Just absolutely terrible. For all the reasons already discussed. But somehow... not the worst I found.1. Fanatics Carolina Panthers Pro Line Khaki Adjustable Dad Hatnflshop.comKrikey mate! I want to go on safari, but I also want to show my team spirit in a way that won’t spook the animals, so I’m going to buy a khaki colored hat with the world’s hilariously smallest team logo right in the center of it. WHY DOES THIS HAT EXIST? Why is it called a Dad hat?Who in the world would buy this thing? I truly didn’t think I would find a hat that looked worse than the 2019 Draft hat, but somehow, it exists. “Oh, but it looks good on you though.” —Rodney Dangerfield, Caddyshackhttps://thumbs.gfycat.comCongrats Fanatics, you win the worlds most terrible hat lottery.
