Carolina Panthers unveil black helmets, all-black uniforms for 2022

The Carolina Panthers will have a new look this upcoming season. No, not only because Baker Mayfield could be the new starting quarterback in town should he best Sam Darnold during training camp.

The Panthers released photos of their new black helmets and all-black color rush uniforms to be worn in 2022 on Tuesday.

The new digs will make their debut on Nov. 10 against the visiting Atlanta Falcons at Bank of America Stadium on Thursday Night Football.

Carolina paired the helmets with the slogan, “WITNESS OUR DARK SIDE.”

The shells have other differences than the Panthers’ typical greys. They are matte and have blue strips along the top instead of black.

The NFL is allowing teams to wear alternate helmets this season after making a policy change.

Carolina is among several teams taking advantage.
