As a non-NC native, I became a Panthers fan just because I happened to be dating someone from NC when they went to the Super Bowl and they got me into it. But I've stayed a fan since then because of the kind of team they are. They're underdogs. They don't get a lot of attention from anyone. They aren't thugs, or media whores, they have a blue collar mentality that, even though it can get boring from a fan perspective, is more respectable on a character level. Out of the local teams I have to chose from; the Ravens are thugs, and the Redskins are always a mess. The Panthers are loaded up with talent, and half of them are too shy to give an interview. I like that.

Also since I really only started following football about 5 years ago, the Panthers are easier because there isn't 70 years worth of crap to learn

This is strange. A few weeks ago, my fiance's niece had to do a paper focusing on subcultures for a community college course. I recommended doing it on Panthers fans, but she didn't.

Something I like about the Panthers is the way they are presented in the league.

The team isn't flashy or well publicized like the Cowboys, and they rarely get any notice by the media, but that's cool cause the Panthers have alway sbeen the blue collar hard working team.

I am only a fan because of all the other cool fans I met here on the huddle. You'd be surprised how many hot married chicks there are on here that just want to fool around with a dude like me that has a giant dick and a Dan Morgan jersey.

Seeing as I actually hit the NFL Shield and it took me two years to realize that just because it was midfield didn't mean it was Carolina's logo, slightly.

Became a Panther when from inception. Watched the HOF game between Panthers and Jags, and was hooked from then on.

I wish for your sake you'd have hit the steelers. Sorry brah.

Born and raised in charlotte, first love was the charlotte hornets(now n.o. hornets, since ur not a sports fan) then came along the panthers followed them from the beginning pretty closely and then became absolute diehard and focused all my fandom on them when i heard the hornets were leaving... most people i know that are fans, diehard anyway have been watching the panthers since they were teens or younger....which also makes most of them younger than 30

Raised in the Carolinas.

I was born in Los Angelas and went to college outside Philly and then again in Arkansas (way too close to cowboy territory for my liking).

The Carolinas has always been where I called home and I was excited that we were getting a team of our very own.

I'm as proud of the panthers as I am to be here in North Carolina. It's home and they are my home team.

I make it a point to go to Training Camp every year for a good few days to watch them get ready for the season. During the season I eat Bojangles chicken and dirty rice and their sweet tea before each game. I usually need to take 2 Excedrin around half time of every game because the Panthers give me a headache.

They frustrate me beyond belief but there isn't anything that they could do short of moving away (like those loser hornets did) that would make me think any less of them.

It has been a rocky road but we have done a good job getting players here that are active in the community and are, for the most part, really high character guys. There usually isn't near the drama here that there are with other teams. Even though there are situations that could easily be made into big deals, the team gets control of the situations and rises above it.

haha manchester united... im surprised it got that close! haha

i cheer for them because they are the local team here. i have loyalties to them an the redskins. i was born near D.C. but moved to charlotte when i was young, my dad bought his PSL's when the team played in clemson, i was only 6 but i member goin to all the games... i am a hardcore panthers fan, but i am sad to say there are very few of us... most people are bandwagan fans here, i hate the those fans soooo much. it just pissses me off so bad when your at a panther game an 1st of all people dont show till halfway thru the 1st quarter then in the 4th quarter if your winning by more than 10 an its wrapped up people leave early! why???? where winning, i hate it but whatever, thats why i still cheer for the skins, all the fans are loyal thru thick and thin.
