A Panini America Sneak-Peek Sunday: Early Returns from 2012 Black Football's QC

Facts are facts, and it’s hard to argue with this one: Panini America’s 2012 Black Football is one of the most anticipated new products to hit the gridiron in quite some time (although the recent announcement of Prizm could give Black a run for its money; but that’s a post for another day). From the seemingly controversial subject of the product name to the stunning designs previewed so far, there’s been a buzz surrounding Black for months.
The following preview gallery should only continue to fan the flames. Late last week, Panini America NFL brand developers spent a good chunk of their week quality controlling 2012 Black Football in advance of the product shipping tomorrow and hitting hobby shops on December 19. The following gallery provides an appetizing sneak preview of that QC process.

We’ll have tons more Black images to share with you in the coming days right here on The Knight’s Lance. But for now, enjoy this special Sunday preview and then make way Wednesday for the celebrated release of 2012 Absolute Football.
