The Panther Mascot Appreciation Thread

[OneBadassCat]

So obviously Sur Purr is kind of lame but I think it's pretty hard to argue that we don't have the best the mascot/color scheme/uniforms in the NFL.

I mean how can you top a Panther? Fast, sleek, strong, and ferocious. It can't be coincidence that the characteristics of a panther happen to be the attributes of what every great NFL player should be. Also, way back in the day panthers and jaguars used to roam the Carolinas. Mr. Richardson and Co really hit the nail on the head with "the Panthers". I believe it to be a timeless mascot, it couldn't have been better.

I had the opportunity to work with big cats about a year and a half ago and I've seen a panther in person. They were easily the scariest and most ferocious cat in the sanctuary. Topping both lions and tigers in meanness. They are seriously badass motherfu**ers. We should be grateful imo, we lucked out.

panthers aren't real, they are just black jaguars, leopards, our cougars. our team is based on a lie. that's why we don't win.

Panthers are real.....I'm pretty sure the black color is a genetic mutation.

Lemme google it.

Yes Panthers are black jaguars, leopards, and cougars. That's why they are called panthers. They are not a particular species of cat but they are still badass and can still be a team mascot. It doesn't make them any less real.

You shut your filthy dirty mouth if you don't like Sir Purr!

Big Daddy Purr and Sir Purr are the double trouble of NFL mascots.

Sir purr needs to turn on that computer first before he can look up his internet pronz.

Nope, Panthers are not a 'species' and are just a color (skin color) of the cats said mainly Jaguars/Leopards, MAYBE cougars (never recorded) even Bobcats that are black are called them I think etc. Panther is just a word. You can tell because some are really small and some are fuging huge, bigger than a lion, and they all look different and have different degrees of pigmentation. Basically just black cats of different species, or perhaps a mutt species from a type of domestication (see video) but the blackness is very rare and they seem to have a different 'majestic' personality and are rarely seen.

^ Dumbass remark.......I sure would not want one these "Lies" shown in those pics to bite me in the a$$.

Sir Purr needs a makeover that makes him look like a badass instead of a character in the kiddy section of an amusement park.
