Panther fan Before or After Newton Era?

[Khaki Lackey]

Just look at members join date and how they voted! We've got a lot of band-wagoners since Cam came along. I'm not complaining though, we need all the support we can get!!

Edit: BTW I've been here since the announcement was made that we were getting a team.

My first time lurking on the huddle was Jimmy Clausen's first start. I went ahead and created an account when the accusations of "Camwagoners" started. Born and raised in NC, fan since '95. You can't go by huddle join date.

Followed the news like a hawk when they announced the franchise.

Been watching ever since

I was born a Panther fan in '77, spent a few years just waiting for Jerry.

I still remember the day we were awarded the franchise.  Prior to then I only cared about baseball and the Hornets

Panther fan since the team was awarded to Charlotte, before then I was 49ers fan. I tried to root for both teams even though they were in the same division at the time. I have never regretted my decision on which team I chose, even during the 1-15 season.

I was actually only 5 in our inaugural season so I was born into fandom so to speak. I at one point so remember having a Steve Young jersey though I believe it was because we are both left handed.

I have been a Panthers fan since day 1.  I was soo happy to finally get a local team I could root for.

 

My dad is an Auburn graduate though, so he is doubly happy because he likes the Panthers and loves Cam

Been a fan since the announcement. I used to dream of having a local team when I was a kid.

As long as they show up at the stadium and make noise I don't give a rats ass.

Since second week in '03. I think that was that crazy game against the Bucs. I remember being on the huddle in my 10th grade computer class back in '05. I've waisted many days of my life on this site.

I lived in Charlotte in '95. I was in kindergarten and was not a football fan but I do remember the GIANT Panthers sign that counted down the days til the first Panther kickoff. Anyone remember that??

Panther fan since the day we were announced as a team.  I was only 13 years old.  Before that I was a Bills fan, so I was used to the heartache that would later prepare me to be a lifelong Panther fan.  Jim Kelly and Bruce Smith were the poo.  I got a Panthers starter jacket before the team even played and got robbed by older kids because they were Crips and loved color I'm guessing. Anyway, as far as the huddle join dates someone mentioned,  I've known about the huddle since 2010.  I created a username and forgot it.  I wasn't into reading and posting in forums, so I just came here to look for news and articles on the front page.  I started posting on the ESPN fan page around 2010-2011 and came to post here just to debate with JOAT and TRD about drafting Cam, which resulted in an abundance of neg rep. Cool story bro

Was at work that night in October 1993 when the announcement was made that we were awarded the team. Been a fan through it all. Clemson, stadium construction, Kerry Collins debacle, 1-15, the shame of Carruth, the joy of the Superbowl.......my team then, now, forever.

That's crazy man. I am 36, was born and raised in Charlotte. Been a fan since day 1(Was a dolphins(Marino) fan before we had a team.) I was a Panthers fan LONG before I ever thought about to talking to other guys on the internet about it. I didn't even know there was a forum until 2009. But like you said all are welcome aboard

I always liked the Panthers and used them in Madden but never started actually following the games and players until 2000 or 2001. I was a fan thru the 1-15, the 2-14.....all of it. Think I was about 13 when I started. Ravens won Super Bowl that year I believe. Oh well. Its been 13 or so years.
