About Sir Purr
Sir Purr has been the Carolina Panthers mascot since the franchise's inaugural season in 1995 and has spent three decades doing splits on the Bank of America Stadium sideline, launching t-shirts into the upper deck with a cannon, and terrorizing visiting fans who made the mistake of wearing red in the wrong section. He is a giant black cat in a Panthers jersey who rides ATVs, does backflips off trampolines, and once belly-flopped onto a slip-and-slide at midfield during a timeout. His commitment to physical comedy is unmatched in the NFC South.
Sir Purr's game day routine includes stealing nachos from fans in the front row, photobombing marriage proposals on the jumbotron, and getting into choreographed dance battles with the TopCats cheerleaders that he wins through sheer enthusiasm. He has outlasted every Panthers head coach, every Panthers quarterback, and most Panthers owners. When the team is losing 31-7 in the fourth quarter, Sir Purr is still doing pushups after the opponent scores because Sir Purr does not understand the concept of surrender. He is permanent. He is relentless. He is a cat in shoulder pads who has never once questioned his life choices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of content works with Sir Purr?
Physical comedy and absurd confidence. Sir Purr does not speak, so all humor is visual or situational. Think of him stealing a hot dog from a Saints fan, doing the worm on the 50-yard line while the Panthers are down four touchdowns, or flexing at a camera after catching a t-shirt cannon misfire. The comedy comes from a giant cat doing human things with total conviction and zero self-awareness.
How long has Sir Purr been the Panthers mascot?
Since 1995, the Panthers' first season. He has been doing this longer than most current NFL players have been alive. He survived the 1-15 season in 2001. He survived the 2010 season. He survived the Matt Rhule era. Nothing can stop Sir Purr. He is the most tenured member of the Panthers organization by a significant margin.
