Charlotte Checkers Roll Out New Jerseys For 2025, Based on Florida Panthers

The Charlotte Checkers unveiled fresh home and away uniforms that mirror their NHL parent club, the Florida Panthers. The crisp designs hit the ice with bold red and white options, each sporting distinctive stripe patterns.

This marks the third major uniform switch since the team's 2010 arrival in Charlotte. Gone are the old threads worn from 2013 to 2024-25. Novant Health keeps its spot as main sponsor, with its badge fixed on the right chest area.

The red uniform stands out with sharp white stripes cut by black trim across the chest. Matching patterns run down the arms and socks, while black trim and white laces finish the collar. Its white counterpart switches the main colors but keeps the striking black details. Both versions showcase the team's signature mark: a fierce polar bear set against Charlotte's city outline in a triangle frame.

Black-and-white Panthers logos now grace the shoulders, linking the minor league squad to their two-time Stanley Cup champion partners. The connection runs deep since 2020, when Florida picked up affiliate rights from the Carolina Hurricanes.

The black third jersey from 2022 stays in the mix. Players will sport these dark alternates in eight games next season, backed by Autohaus Lake Norman.

Fans get their first look at the new gear when the puck drops at Bojangles Coliseum. The home opener pits the Checkers against Iowa Wild on Oct. 17. Before that, the team hits the road to face Springfield on Oct. 11 and Providence the next night.
