On Wednesday, Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Brian Burns made quite a switch.
The former No. 53, who had been contemplating a uniform change for a few years, will now be the new No. 0. And given that 0 hasn’t been in circulation for the last 50 years, he’ll be the first Panther to ever don the digit.
So, how are Carolina fans feeling about the franchise’s No. 1 No. 0? Here are some of the best reactions to the news . . .

Brian Burns would change his number the season after I cop his jersey. Now I have to get another one because that 0 jersey cold!!!!!

Seeing Brian Burns in the number 0 jersey is going to be weird & also makes yet another of my jerseys outdated.

Been saving up for a Brian Burns number 53 jersey for a while… good thing I’m an inefficient saver. Agent zero

53 was a better number for Burns. Not feeling the 0.

I love Burns and I love the number 0 but I gotta say it… 53 looked so good on him and number 0 would’ve looked so cold on Jaycee Horn https://t.co/0wQIOgWmeF

The 0 jersey had to be Brian Burns or Jaycee Horn. Glad one of them got it.
