I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. I was born and raised in the Queen City, which has taught me many things. But I think the best thing about being born and raised in Charlotte would be being a Panther’s fan. I have been a Panther’s fan since I was a baby and I am the type of fan that still wears her Panther’s sweatshirt after a loss.
Here is why being a Panther’s fan is my favorite.
We play in Charlotte.
Charlotte is a beautiful
Panther blue everywhere.
During each home game that is held at night, all of the surrounding buildings are lit up in a beautiful Panther blue color. Each touchdown the lights just flash and it’s amazing.
Have you seen Luke Kuechly?
The way he sacks people is amazing. According to the Nfl website, Kuechly has completed a total of 371 tackles in his career.
Sir Purr kills it.
Our mascot is the coolest. There is no arguing.
The Top Cats, anyone?
The Top Cats are also amazing.
Two words: Cam Newton.
According to the official NFL website, Cam Newton has completed 35 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and ran 3,837 yards in his career.
Panther tailgates.
Panther rallies and tailgates are the best. They are loud, fun and crazy.
Everyone loves to ‘Dab on em.’
We even have our grandmas dabbin' on y’all.
Die-hard fans.
Real Panther’s fans are the die hard fans. They have the original 1992
KEEP POUNDING.
Our motivational phrase “KEEP POUNDING” actually means something more. On the Panther’s website, it gives a detailed reason for our mantra. Carolina Panther player and coach, Sam Mills, always used the phrase in his speeches. Now it means so much more to so many more people because we all need to keep pounding.
