While making my way around a certain large collection of amusement parks that have a bit of a fascination with five foot tall talking mice located near Orlando, Florida, I thought it would be fun to count the different number of people I saw wearing gear for different NFL teams. In between drinking, riding rides, buying things, and acting like a five year old I figured this was a good way to pass the time walking around.

Won't bore you with all the numbers, but I did see 23 people not including myself wearing some Panthers stuff. This would put them at number five on my list, behind the Steelers (of course), the Cowboys (who knew?), the Dolphins (gee, Florida, who'da guessed?), and the Patriots (brainwashed, all of em).

Found it interesting. Apparently, I picked the one week that everyone from NC was visiting the house of mouse.

I read somewhere that Disney World ran out of Mickey Mouse costumes so they bought a bunch of Peppers jerseys.

They were looking for a big cuddly action figure who would never in good consience hit someone to temporarily fill in for Mickey.

Well, like I said in a post earlier this year, I don't see many people in the Triangle wearing Panthers gear at all. It's somewhat disconcerting when I think about it. I see more Steelers, Cowboys, and of course Redskins fans here than Panthers fans. Damn, you see more Panthers fans on one trip to DW than I see all frickin' year around here (at least half a year). It's good for me personally because I can pick up Panthers gear on clearance, like the "$23" dollar cap that I bought for three dollars last week.

I see a lot of it in the Triad, more than any other NFL team. Although not as much as I see of Wake, NCSU or Duke/UNC (choke puke ughhh :)).

Found a Delhomme jersey in an outlet mall in St. Augustine for $30 compared to the Smith and D-Will jerseys in the same shop for $90. Also bought a Washington Nationals t-shirt for $3 for sh*ts and giggles.

Kind of off the subject, but Rugged Warehouse had a rack of NFL jersey's for 16.99. Of course they didn't have any Panthers players, but they did have Peterson, Crabtree, Sanchez, Megatron, Stafford and some others. I didn't look that hard when I realized that they didn't have any Panthers players.

Nothing screams sophistication like wearing football gear to anywhere other than the game.

my daughter gets mad at me when i wear my jersey's during the summer. "dad, it's not even football season!"

football is a year round sport and i am a year round fan. :cornut:

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
