Zubaz Gameday Guide
What to Wear to a Carolina Panthers Game
Charlotte gives Panthers fans some of the friendliest gameday weather in the league — which means no excuses for a boring fit. Here's how to wear the black, blue and silver properly at Bank of America Stadium.
This guide covers the full Carolina Panthers gameday uniform — what to wear to the stadium, what actually works in the Charlotte weather, and what to pack for the tailgate. Every piece below is officially licensed Carolina Panthers gear, ships free in the lower 48, and is loud enough that your section will know whose side you're on.
Start with the pants. Always the pants.
Since 1988, Zubaz pants have been the gameday uniform for fans who show up loud. The Carolina Panthers zebra print is instantly recognizable across a parking lot, roomy enough to layer over thermals, and comfortable enough to wear from the 8 AM tailgate through the postgame traffic. If you only upgrade one piece of your gameday fit, this is it.

Dressing for gameday at Bank of America Stadium
Charlotte weather plays it fair most of the season — warm early, crisp late, with the occasional wet one mixed in. The move is flexible layers: a team t-shirt base, Zubaz pants that work in any temperature, and a hoodie or light jacket you can add or shed as the day swings. Check the forecast the morning of and you'll rarely be caught out.

The tailgate checklist
- The uniform: Carolina Panthers Zubaz pants + team top. Non-negotiable.
- Weather insurance: a hoodie or light jacket for when the sun drops.
- Comfortable shoes: you'll be standing 6+ hours between lot and seats.
- Small clear bag: NFL stadiums enforce the clear-bag policy — leave the backpack at the tailgate.
- Portable charger: mobile tickets die with your battery.
- Layers for the ride home: night games end colder than they start.
- The dog: if your four-legged fan is tailgating, get them a Carolina Panthers jersey or bandana. Instant lot celebrity.
Gameday FAQ
What do fans wear to a Carolina Panthers game?
Team colors, head to toe. The classic Carolina Panthers fan uniform is a jersey or team t-shirt up top and Zubaz zebra-print pants below — the look that's been in NFL parking lots since 1988. Charlotte weather is changeable, so most fans bring a hoodie or light jacket they can add or shed.
Is it cold at Bank of America Stadium?
Rarely extreme. Charlotte late-season games get chilly, especially at night, but a good hoodie or jacket over your base layer usually covers it.
What is the bag policy at NFL stadiums?
The NFL clear-bag policy applies league-wide: bags must be clear plastic no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a small clutch. Backpacks and large purses aren't allowed inside, so leave them at the tailgate or in the car.
Are Zubaz Carolina Panthers products officially licensed?
Yes — Zubaz is an official NFL licensee, and every Carolina Panthers item we make is authentic licensed gear in true team colors. Shipping is free on every order in the 48 contiguous United States.
