The Panthers started out in 1993 with just home whites and away reds. Complete with the horizontal red and gold stripe on the bottom of home uniforms, and with navy blue and gold striping on the aways.
The same color stripes for each would run diagonal, along the sleeves as well. As for the shoulder patch, it would feature the sun, palm tree and hockey stick we all grew to love over the years.
The leaping cat was of course the main attraction, resting or “jumping” right out of the middle of every jersey.
