The Carolina Panthers will wear black jerseys on six occasions in 2013, but no word yet whether they'll be accompanied by the much-loved, and totally-legit-not-at-all-gamed contest winning black pants. As usual the beginning of the season is dominated by white, an effort to keep players cool in the still lingering Summer heat.

It's clear that the all-black look will be back, based purely on the increase in black jerseys. The team has upped the classic look to six this year, from four in 2012. It doesn't make sense for them to up the black jersey without the intent to add the pants too, and the most likely candidates for the all-black look are games on Monday night against the New England Patriots, and a December 15th game against the New York Jets at 4:05 PM.

Team equipment manager Jackie Miles said on black-on-black:

"Wearing black-on-black was a little bit outside of our box, but it went over very well," Miles said. "It has to be Mr. (Jerry) Richardson's call and (team president) Danny Morrison's call. We'd have to talk about it. "Unless that happens, we would stay white-on-white and black-on-silver. If we go black pants, it would probably be with black jerseys."
