GDT: Non-Panthers NFL Discussion (2017 and beyond)

[AD Skinner]

Final prediction. Chiefs 27 49ers 20.

Pretty close

Imagine if the chiefs played the whole game like they were already down

Shannahan = garbage in the super bowl

One day I will get it right.

 

[HisIceness]

Congrats to the Chiefs, I know we have one or two of their fans here. Or did.

One day this will be the Panthers... in 2120 when we're all dead and football is basically a virtual reality Madden game

In which they will have relocated to Quebec City.

Congrats to the Chiefs. Raspberries to the 49ers for blowing it.

By the way big thanks to Joe Suck, er Buck for the lovely reminder of the moment my entire childhood was destroyed 31 years ago in that building. Seriously Joe, go die in a fire.

In all seriousness, rumor has it that Tepper wants a full rebrand. There have been considerations for new mascot and colors.

If he does that, he's going to face a lot of backlash. Teams like the Bucs and Jags rebranded and they look like clown shows now, IMO. If that's what he's going for people will riot.

I never really understood the name carolina panthers... is there any significance to it other than it sounds cool? I think a rebrand now would be a terrible idea- mccaffrey notwithstanding their core is aging/moving on and there are down years coming. Any new brand in the next couple years will likely just be associated with crummy teams

 

[RodTheBawd]

Please rebrand. Or just the colors. I've still kept my distance from being more of a fan because of those f***ing colors. Top 3 worst in all sports.

Not the deepest history, but Panthers were long ago native to NC...combined that with "it sounds cool" is honestly enough of a connection. Ironic though, it's also linked probably more heavily to Florida -> Florida Panthers, perhaps because we already stole Hurricanes...despite the fact that Florida is more heavily linked to hurricanes as well?? We're just trolling really lol

The Carolina Tarheels was already taken, the Carolina Hog Lagoons doesn't really have the right feel to it, and the Carolina Tobacconists is just a bit old-timey.

Although I'd be down with the Carolina Blackbeards.

Or the Carolina Privateers....the more sophisticated and slightly more legal pirate.

If Buffalo fans have to wish ill upon anyone who reminds them of a bad sports moment, that'll be a very long list.

 

[HisIceness]

I think the idea is terrible but if it means they will no longer wear those light blue uniforms with the silver pants then I'm fine with that. Easily the worst thing they wear.

My guess is Tepper wants to undo the Richardson era as much as possible.

Think the name 'Panthers' was Richardsons idea from the get-go. Keep in mind too that his idea for the NFL in Charlotte went back to 1987, so technically the NHLs Panthers are copying the NFLs Panthers

I can’t imagine a logo or color scheme impacting cheering (or not) for a team. I guess that’s me.

I admit, I don’t get it.

Are you a fan of the Bengals?

 

[Canes]

Not really, that's pretty much anyone who isn't a casual or bangwagon type of fan. By definition, any serious or diehard fan wouldn't let something so trivial affect their fanhood.

So you'll be more of a causal fan until they rebrand into something you like? Cool, there's nothing wrong with that.

 

[AD Skinner]

I think colors/logo is a big part of being a fan... if nothing else it definitely makes me dislike a bunch of teams. I dislike the capitals and blue jackets for a lot of reasons, but a big one for each is that their jerseys are a mess and they have better branding that they dont use.
