Luke Combs has curated a "meaningful" merchandise line for Carolina Panthers

He told WWD: "It's safe to say I bleed Carolina Panthers blue. They've been my team through thick and thin.

"I was born into this fandom. I met [former Panthers linebacker] Sam Mills when I was five years old at a local restaurant during the team's first season. I had a Panthers birthday when I turned eight.

"And their merchandise has always been a constant for me, so when they asked me about having my own line, I couldn't say 'yes' fast enough.

"I was able to hand-pick each and every item in the collection. Talk about a full-circle moment."

The vintage-inspired pieces mark the return of the Carolina Panthers Swiper logo after more than 30 years, and feature items from brands including Mossy Oak, '47, Bettinardi, Homage and Columbia Sportswear.

All net proceeds from the collection - which includes Columbia's Bahama II shirt, a regular garment in Luke's stage wardrobe - will go to charities in Western North Carolina, including Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank NWNC, Samaritan's Purse and Eblen Charities.

David and Nicole Tepper, who own the Carolina Panthers, were delighted to work with the Fast Car hitmaker, who helped raise $24 million last year with a Concert for Carolina benefit show in aid of those affected by Hurricane Helene.

The couple said: "This limited-edition collection with Luke Combs is meaningful because it's created by a lifelong Panthers fan.

"Luke's love for the team runs deep, and following Concert for Carolina, this collaboration was the perfect way to continue working together to deliver something special to fans in the Carolinas."

The Luke Combs collection is available now at the Carolina Panthers Team Store at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte and online.
