How many true, lifelong Panthers fans are actually out there?

[Panthers_Lover]

That's neat. I was with my friend Beverly. We're from Spartanburg.

Born in 87, the fam moved to Charlotte in 91 from Marietta so the Panthers were my first and only football team growing up.  Although the first team (in general) I was a fan of was the Hornets.         

 

Never got into ATL sports...well I was only like 3 y/o when I moved.  Hornets, Panthers, Bobby Labonte, Davis Love III.

27 years young and before the Panthers rolled into the Carolinas... I never had a team. On Sunday's I would watch the Redskins games with my dad (his favorite team) but couldn't have told you a single players name.

Then in 1995, I went to my first NFL game... In Clemson SC. 105 degrees. And my team got stomped by the Rams in their first ever home game. Since that day, I've been a die-hard Carolina Panthers Fan!

There are a bunch of young whipper-snappers on here.  I've got kid older than most of this board.  I feel.........old.

I'm old ...real old. My first meories of football inluding characters like Vince Lombardi, Bart Starr, Paul Horning, and Jerry Kramer.  Later I actually followed the Raiders, yep all the way back to George Blanda. Once the Panthers set up camp they have been my team. Can't help myself...love them good, bad, and ugly.

Here I am. Never cared for Football until I came to the US in 1996, lived in the NC Mountains and got hooked. Die hard Panthers fan since...

Actually grew up a dallas cowboys fan in the 90s I wont lie 

then 1996 came around my friend from down the street had this very nice carolina panthers jacket on...

I started to watch them...Really no clue was known about them to me

 

1998 started buying panthers gear. also almost getting kicked out of the house for being the only panthers fan since the whole family thinks Dallas cowboys or nothing else.

 

1998-2015 Not looking back now win,lose,draw, playoffs ,no playoffs, 

 

The fans who hate the cowboys are actually pretty nice people here in texas

Ah yes, the good old days.  I don't think there was a roughing the passer rule back then.

I can say I'm a lifelong fan since the team's inception, but until then I was a Redskins fan.

[Chief_Chokeaho]

I'm 25 and have always pulled for the Panthers since before I can remember. Probably because my older brother did too. My dad is a Skins fan but never forced it on me. Not sure you can say what age fits the criteria. I'm 25 and a life long fan so your criteria is flawed.

[Catweisers]

I been a Panthers fan since they been alive.  Have a  Panthers Pennant that came out before we even had any players.

Can't see how any one that is from here could cheer for any other team!! 

I also think this year might be the year and WE win it all.

[Kuhndog94]

I was born in 94. I've been a Panthers fan ever since I understood football.

[FuFuLamePoo]

i was born in 1996

I was a Dolphins fan growing up because Dan Marino was the most awesome thing I ever saw as a gun slinger. To date no other arm has ever impressed me after watching him growing up. I did attend all of the first games in Clemson though and became a Panther for life once I had a local team. I was present for THE INTECEPTION!
