The Panthers pulled an old college trick, and surprised the team with all-black uniforms today.

It worked early on, as they drove 77 yards for a quick touchdown, with Cam Newton hitting a ridiculously open Greg Olsen for a 4-yard touchdown.

Olsen has three catches for 46 yards already, as they’re looking his way often.

And as much as the players enjoy their new uniforms, the locals are enjoying the lead on their former coach John Fox.
