We swear this isn’t rage bait. The kachina pattern is cool but with the low contrast between maroon, green, and black it all becomes a blob. We won’t succumb to the nostalgia worms

Burkus really picked the yellow flying V as his least favorite jersey and then entered into Concept Madness with a concept based on the yellow flying V? What a goober.

While voting for the Concept Madness Competition gets underway (go do that btw), it’s time to trash on the many jersey options Utah has given us over the year…

Unlike most bad designs from the Edge era, the Panthers offer three flavors of horror. Or maybe the baby blue and yellow combo grinds your gears.
