We Have Officially Made It

[Arroz con Panther]

Yea, well I have a Ricky Manning Jr. jersey!

[stankowalski]

I probably have the most obscure Panthers jersey in the history of the franchise.  I own (packed away somewhere) a Barry Foster jersey from the 1995 team.  He never played a down for us, I think he got cut before the season even started lol.  I posted a pic of it on here a few years back.

I live in DFW. Have been a fan since 95 -- I've actually gotten nothing but praise from people here about Cam D:

[Jangler]

This is funny sh!t, only bandwagon fans try to bust other bandwagon fans. True Panther welcome you, but you better stay.

[PFFC]

Back in the day the only jersey we could find out here on the west coast was a black #16.  Yep it's a Weinke!

[BelgianPantherFan]

Pretty fun over here. Most Belgian NFL-fans support the classic franchises like the Steelers, Pats, Green Bay (where the founder Curly Lambeau's parents are both of Belgian ancestry), Cowboys etc.. Finally the Panthers are starting to get some recognition.

we've been trying to convert my firend who's been Eagles fan for over ten years.  He's born and raised in NC.  He finally switched at the start of the season.  We brought to the Texans game and now he's on the wagon, comfy and buckled in.

Old co-worker of mine that lives in Raleigh is from Chicago. So obviously a Bears fan.

He let it be known that he will be rooting for the Cowboys. I called him out on that bullshit... "I just can't stand Cam"

My friend always liked football but never really had a team because he was more of a soccer person. I tried putting him on the Panthers for years but the Seattle and Carolina game this year put him on haha

I can't begin to tell you how much I get this at work. Little back story. I work for a NE based company, that does "Better sound through research"...(look it up). I live in Mexico by the way.

 

Nothing but Pats fans...I understand the Transplants from NE but my fellow country men that live here...They are only Pats fans because are trying to appease the corporate bosses around here. Brown nose if you will. 

 

I come in to this company in 2012. Start from the bottom (insert Drake reference/song), Rep the Panthers since I started in the company, but no one knew me then. I get promoted, got promoted 3 times. Each time reaching a new level of hierarchy if you will. So the business types and corporate types take notice. With the level I am currently at, I get to talk to a lot of the big wigs of the company. 

 

Since the product I currently run is actually in direct business with the NFL. I get to talk about the NFL. Earlier this year to celebrate the launch of NFL licensed products, we were encouraged to bring our teams colors. Naturally, everyone wore Pats apparel. Some Cowboys, 49ers, and even Seahawks as well(Bandwagoners!!). I was the lone Panther fan, here's what I wore.

Of course then we were 5-0. Immediately I was labeled a bandwagon fan. I scoffed of course. I was asked how long I've been a Panthers fan, told them since 96. No one believed me. I was bombarded with questions about the roster, the legacy, players, history. I think I did pretty good because by the end of the event I got a sense of respect from the Pats fans. Now every time I see them they give me that 'undefeated' nod. 

 

This is why I am wishing that the Panthers play in the SB. I am hoping they play the Patriots...and Win. Take what's rightfully ours. Revenge tour!

 

It would be incredibly epic for me...to walk in the office, full Panthers gear on...and say. "Sup guys?" with a smirk ready to break into a huge grin. :D

Hey @Ivan The Awesome ! My son won tickets to the GB game from Bose!!!! So now I can personally thank someone for those. Thank you! lol 

Truth be told however, he would've rather had headphones. (We have PSL's) :D

'Awesome' story!!

[panik]

Last Monday I was wearing my Cam Jersey and got asked if I even knew any other QB's before Cam. When I started throwing the list from Collins to pickles they shut up. Freaking Cowboys fans I hate them so much.
