The Carolina Panthers will once again wear black alternate helmets in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
This means the Panthers will wear the helmets that debuted last season, featuring light blue decals and black face masks, for their second consecutive home game against the Falcons.
The helmet will be paired with Carolina’s all-black Color Rush uniforms, just as it was in last year’s 25-15 win over Atlanta on Thursday Night Football.
“I’m a big, big fan.” Rookie quarterback Bryce Young said this week when asked about the uniforms.. “I’m so excited for them.”
Complementing the uniforms will also be the Panthers’ “Inspire Change” game on Sunday, which will feature a celebration of Black culture and performances by HBCU bands and dancers during halftime and timeouts.
Prior to last season, Carolina only wore silver helmets dating back to its inaugural season in 1995. Their uniforms have similarly remained largely unchanged.
