The first member of the Carolina Panthers organization to score some points — figuratively, that is — under new owner David Tepper is the team’s longtime mascot, Sir Purr. But he is bringing two real awards back to Charlotte.
Sir Purr was voted the 2018 NFL Mascot of the Year by his peers, according to the Panthers website on Thursday night. But that’s not all. Sir Purr is bringing home a second trophy, this one for the team’s humorous “Water Cooler” clip, which won Mascot Video of the Year.
The team’s Twitter account posted a photo of Sir Purr clutching the two awards from the NFL Mascot Summit in Indianapolis in his paws.
