The new Nike’s NFL uniforms have a really cool feature that no one will be able to see because the inspirational message will be hidden to the public.
The Carolina Panthers' jerseys will have the words "Keep Pounding" stitched on the collars of their jerseys for the upcoming season. This is an inspirational message that the assistant coach and he was also the team's late linebacker said to his team before the 2003 Super Bowl. Mills was a star on the field in the team's first years in Charlotte before he became a coach after his retirement from playing football. Before the Charlotte Panthers were able to go to the Super Bowl in 2003, Mills was diagnosed with cancer. Mills didn’t stop working because of his diagnosis, yet continued to work while receiving chemotherapy. There was also a player on that team named Mark Fields who was sitting out the season after he was diagnosed also with cancer. Mills gave a speech before the team's divisional playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys when he delivered an inspirational speech.
"When I found out I had cancer, there were two things I could do - quit or keep pounding," Mills said. "I'm a fighter. I kept pounding. You're fighters, too. Keep pounding!" What an incredible victory for the Panthers for winning that game. They won with the goose bumps their coach gave them with his inspiring words.
Unfortunately, coach Mills died two years later. The city of Charlotte kept Coach Mills’ message alive. There was a fund started by Mills and former Panthers linebacker Mark Fields who continues to raise money for research and awareness in the Charlotte area. When coach Mills died, the Panthers weight room placed a mural with Mills' picture and two-word mantra saying “Keep Pounding”. When the coach gave his inspirational words to his team, they felt he cared and loved his teammates. Everyone needs to feel there is someone supporting them to get them to play the best they can which proved to be true when Charlotte beat the Dallas Cowboys.
