Holiday Special! Your Favorite Carolina Panther Gifts?

Hey guys! I'm still new here and don't really have a voice yet, BUT in light of the Christmas Spirit (and in light of trying to sneak away from all the relatives to visit my other family) I figured I'd post a lighthearted thread and hear from my comrades.

So here's the question:

As a die-hard Panthers fan, (or the one Bucs / Saints fan we got around here) there's nothing better than unwrapping a gift from a friend/family member and seeing your team's trademark colors. So after 13 years, what gift(s) do you remember opening that brought a big smile to your face?

My list has three particular items that meant more to me than the others.

1) My very first Panthers jersey. When I unwrapped the box, opened it, and saw #90 in our alternate Blues, I was ecstatic. Growing up in the heart of Boston, and being able to represent my team regardless of the die hard Patriots fans around me, that was special. It just so happened the Panthers met New England in the Superbowl a month later, and man was I proud to wear that thing.

2) The 2007 Official Sideline Hoodie (That's the Cowboys one, the one I got was obviously Carolina). I had seen all the players wearing that Hoodie on the sidelines everywhere. I loved the look of it, and when my girl bought it for me, I loved it. By far my favorite Reebok team hoodie. Warm as hell, but still very light.

3) Carolina Panthers Christmas Stocking It's kind of a goofy thing to cherish, but some years back my late Grandmother bought me a Panthers Christmas Stocking. It's all black, with "Carolina Panthers" in our Carolina Blue font, with our logo in the middle and a blue hanger-loop. I think the reason I love it the most is the fact that when you walk in to our house, and you see Christmas Stockings on the mantle, and you see (Red/White -> Red/White -> Red/White -> CAROLINA PANTHERS -> Red/White -> Red/White) you know a true fan lives there!

Those are some of my favorite holiday gifts, now I wanna hear from all of you :D

Merry Christmas from Boston!

My husband bought me a Panthers Miller Lite Neon Sign one year - it's among my favorite panthers things. I still want to find the Budweiser one with the running football player that says Carolina.

The Miller sign is in my dormer window right now as we speak. It's part of my playoff decorations - most of which I'm waiting until the Christmas decorations to come down before I put them up.

I've recieved lots of Panther goodies over the past few Christmas'.......mainly shirts, hoodies, hats, coffee mugs, etc. but a girl I used to date bought me a pool stick with the Panther head screen-printed at the top and a Panther Q-ball....I thought that was different :)

Panthers pool stick actually sounds like an awesome item bro, thanks for the idea. I turned 21 a week or so ago, so I've been sharking at the local bars. Having my own stick and not having to use a warped, dirty bar stick would be awesome.

Carrying around a Carolina Panthers pool-stick in the middle of a Boston Bar filled with rabid Patriots fans could prove fatal though.. haha.

I got my husband a signed Peppers jersey for our anniversary one year, it is framed and hanging in our exercise room.

For Christmas his mom bought him an inaugaral (sp?) coat the first year of their existence (still hanging in our closet) and his sister bought him a Collins jersey, he was super excited to get those. He also got Panthers pool balls one year from me, we've since sold the pool table but kept the Panthers balls.

We can't find Panthers stuff around here, it's all Redskins! So he never buys me anything Panthers because he won't order off the internet. His sister that lives in NC did buy us both Panthers pajamas last year, that was cool!

I get something new every year. Ths year my panther stuff included a banner, a logo dress shirt, a micro fiber blanket and ear muffs. Hard to pick favorites. My framed black suede superbowl jacket would have to close to the top. Sure would like to be given a Panther gift from this superbowl. Something from the winners colection!!

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By CRA · Posted

      99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.

      Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
