Should the Carolina Panthers be the "North Carolina Panthers"?

[Iceberg Slim]

Let's look at NC Cities:

Greensboro - Strip malls

Raleigh - Larger amount of strip malls with a handful of South Asian engineers to provide "culture".

Charlotte - Even larger amount of strip malls with a deserted downtown. Populated by bankers with bad haircuts.

Fayetteville - Giant poo hole

Asheville - Cool town overrun by hippies and retired people

Wilmington - Small charming coastal town reminiscent of Beaufort, SC

Charleston is an anomaly for both of the Carolinas, honestly.

I take it you don't visit here very much......

Everytime he comes here Johnny ROckets takes him to a bar in a strip mall

I'm curious to know from all you South Carolina fans... if the Panthers originially were the Charlotte Panthers or NC Panthers would you still have been as big of a fan?

[Panthro]

Yes....there's poo else to do in SC

Having lived significant time in both states, the only thing NC has over SC is Asheville. However, I don't care if they're called the Belmont Mudhens, they're still gonna be my team.

When you get rid of Jerry, maybe this will be a discussion. But since he decides what they're called and he went to Wofford, he's going to keep it like this...

For the record, I'm not advocating for a name change. I just wanted to hear other's thoughts on the matter. It probably only pissed me off when I was 10 years old back in 1995.

Sure. But NC Panthers sounds ghey. Both Charlotte and Carolina sound better.

So the best city in SC is Charleston?

I've never heard of that. Do you have a link to back that up?

Old time Panther fans know this as fact. I remember when the helmets and the logo came out.

I would follow the team same as now.

A big misconception is that the crescent over the palmetto tree is the moon. In reality, it symbolizes the cannonballs the British fired at Sullivan's Island in 1776. The palmetto tree was instrumental in the defense of the island because they absorbed the impact of the cannonballs. The forts were fortified with palmetto wood which helped them withstand the British assault.

Actually, many believe it's a gorget ... a crescent-shaped throat-plate of a knight's armor. The symbol was used on the caps of the S.C. militia. Many say it was then used in the design of the flag by William Moultrie.
