Back to the Carolina Panthers Newsfeed

A few misguided fans tried to buy custom Rae Carruth jerseys. NFL shut them down.

Former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth was released from prison Monday morning, and apparently a few misguided fans tried to celebrate by creating a custom Carruth jersey on the NFL’s official shopping site.

The league quickly blocked any attempt to do so.

If you try to create a jersey with Carruth’s name on the back, you will get an error message:

“We are unable to customize this item with the text you have entered. Please try a different entry.”

Carruth, 44, was a first-round draft pick of the Panthers in 1997. In January 2001, a Charlotte jury convicted him of conspiring to murder his eight-months-pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams.
