rmackman Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 The Panthers have cheerleaders??Damn you beat me to it!!! That was my first thought as well! Yes we have the Sziro Jewelry Ice Dancers! The fans really like them. They help the mascot Stanley C. Panther throw T-shirts into the audience and such. Because it's South Florida, our teams have gone more towards the ENTERTAINMENT approach rather than a sports approach. The Heat use an in house DJ during the game to get the crowd fired up. He's one of the DJ's from our local radio stations that plays hip hop and club music. The Panthers do the Ice Dancers and a bunch of other ideas to lend to the idea that Heat and Panther games are a big PARTY rather than just a sporting event. The Marlins are having the classic rock band Kansas play after their game on May 5th. They've sung songs such as Wayward Son. Again this lends to the idea that sports aren't enough without the party atmosphere in South Florida. Do I agree with it? Not really, but that's the fanbase here.

Puck Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 So much for allowing more leeway like the NBA does with their templates.Which also makes me wonder that the economics of the game is reflected on website design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedsunited Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The Panthers have cheerleaders??God yes, it's the only thing keeping me at Panthers.com.And seems like there's still work to be done, the image of the fan kid and the panther itself on the masthead still have jagged edge pixelization, as if cut from a white background and just stuck haphazardly on the new image.

dustyb58 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 With all the "league connection" that these sporting websites do now, new sites never look very new. It's like, oh hey, they re-arranged the middle third of it. Oooh." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart and hot.Oh, if you've worked in the legal field for as long as I have, young padawan, you will know that being attorney does not indicate any sort of high intelligence level. It only means you had the time and money to slosh thru law school and sit thru the bar exam.That being said, attorney eye candy, always a plus when doing the first year associate hiring.

SG30 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 So sorry if I sound stupid...but is all of the site content changing? like just for example, will there still be Pominville's playoff blog and stuff like that?And omg will this be an improvement over the sabres site. The only thing I'm not a fan of so far on these new ones is the adds and stuff on the main page. It seems kind of cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
