Ok, first of all, I didn't even know Panini had an NCAA license until today. When did that happen!? I do think it's nice to see them getting into it, just for the competition, even though I've never been a fan of college cards.
Second, why make a brand new product and have it look EXACTLY like another? Sure, this is still contenders, but let's change it up a little bit at least. So now we'll have 2015 Contenders Draft Picks, which will use virtually the same design as 2014 Contenders.
Here's a look at the 2 designs:
2015 Contenders Draft Picks
2014 Contenders
As you can see, the designs are basically the same. I've always been a fan of Panini, mostly because of their customer service, but this is really disappointing to see. I'd like to see a little bit more creativity from these card manufacturers, and this is definitely not on that track.
