I honestly didn't think the Panthers match night experience could get any worse, Panthers sure love to prove me wrong. Entrance video was lousy, would it be worth having a sponsored entrance video, just so some actual money could be pumped into it and get something half professional. I have to say the music seems to have taken a turn for the worse as well, which is a shame as last season it really did seem to be getting better. If we could also push the stupid flower throwing thing back till after we announce Motm that would be great. I like to wait around and show my appreciation but its just stretching out an already slow wind down and makes it too long for people who need to catch buses.

It was a decent idea but was just really badly delivered , presumeably when it was finished everyone involved gave it the thumbs up which is at least as bad. I wonder how long it will be before a club spokeswoman tells us on the website how well received the new intro video has been ?

It was about as well received as last years instructional video on how to pull on the tram. |

Utter, utter, utter garbage. Who on earth created and approved that? That has got to be changed IMMEDIATELY to avoid us being the laughing stock of the league. Keep the fans bit but for pitys sake get some hits and goals added at the end to get people excited and revved up.

I think that's just about as bad as it can get. They just aren't prepared to spend a penny these days in putting them together so it's left to the work experience boy who got the job based on the fact he once edited a video for his media studies GCSE.
As mentioned above just get someone to sponsor it. The tram sponsor everything at the moment, I'm sure they will jump at the chance.

It wasnt awful but it could be better. My only real comment is that all the fans in yellow shirts look like they are wearing orange... An entrance video with the fans and (some) players in Steelers shirts was the final insult. The colour correction must have been done by Stevie Wonder. |

The first intro vid we had was my personal favourite, a few other decent one offs along the way (The one after we won the league). Id forgotten how this one cuts off with the flushing toilet noise though. The idea of fan involvement is good but i do prefer historical moments included, not players in screwed up hoodies.

I think at this point, I've accepted that ST prices are higher than everyone elses, Jerseys are expensive (including the kids ones?!). GM the GM always HAS to be involved (I'm surprised he isn't on the fourth line by now), and anything that is supposed to entertain the fan base will be shockingly bad. And the majority of the crowd is about as lively as a dead fish, and make just about as much noise. Maybe I'm just moody because It's Monday and I reallllly don't want to be at work but I only go for the hockey now. When the guys look like they don't even try (90% of last year) I wonder why I bother. Just oozing positivity today  That being said, the energy that Cam brings is electric. I perk up whenever he hits the ice. Idc if he doesn't score much, he is a joy to watch. |

Well there is certainly no doubting the non impact of the new entrance video.
This has to be the first thread ever where literally every person agrees....that it was absolute crap.
That should tell Panthers something.....bin it,and the person who produced it !

If there were, there may have been a few fans of other teams voting it up. |

As someone who took part in the march, I was disappointed to say the least. The crowd chanted in great voice for nearly all the march but there was nothing of that in the video.
My thoughts on the video was it was a small part of a lead up to a David Clarke love in!!

I thought it was like lighting the blue touch paper on a firework,standing back awaiting a huge bang,then being disappointed when it fizzles out and fails to go off.
I'm still waiting for GM to tell us how well it had been received by everybody ! Lol

I think the club can And should turn it round, they can take the footage of the fans and use it as a build up, to then incorporate footage of previous years that will get our blood pumping, get us on our feet chanting, letting the players know we are behind them so they can come out chomping at the bit, if we're making as much noise as possible and the players come flying out we will bring something that the NIC has never had and that is intimidation, everyone together making it noisy and horrible for the visiting team to come to our arena and play us! There are two many fans who don't make noise, don't join in with chants and wait for an incident to occur before they wake up and I can guarantee that it doesn't make the team feel as though we are behind them, getting this video right will be the catalyst that can potentially counteract all of this and put a fire under the belly of our players, how lovely that would be

I recall a few seasons ago I made a post about offering to do this for nothing. It really isn't a difficult thing to throw together with minimal knowledge imo.
I can only conclude that the people the Panthers have making these things have significantly less than minimal knowledge. Also, the quality control dept. need firing, if indeed such a dept. exists.

I personally thought last year's was excellent and was first of all disappointed that they hadn't used the same song. Far from my only disappointment though, just woeful really.

If there is one he/they must be drunk not to have noticed the orange shirts. |

Agree with all, was just thinking though whether the club actually have any additional film of anything other than what we see on the highlights? Maybe others will know but if they have I haven't seen it anywhere. Point being that that can't show any decent hits etc. as everything is filmed pretty much as the whole rink from up in the gods, which doesn't make good film like I see on nhl etc. So I guess they need to film the stuff first before it can go in the intro and as we're only just into the season I doubt there's a lot of the current squad. Club need to invest better in order for us to have a good catalogue of shots to choose from. Probably not explained very well as a bit beyond me!

This might have worked as a bit of a marketing ploy because after reading all the comments on here and twitter i'm looking forward to seeing if its as bad as people are saying when we visit for the first Steelers game. I hope it doesn't get changed before then.
I think the Steelers this year have a good video production wise but as is often the case with Steelers intros its a bit too long for my liking especially with the players introductions after.
Here it is for anyone who wants to compare.

I don't like that video either. Although the second half is much better and exactly what we are missing.

Maybe the one we saw Saturday is just a holding video then, as I think the last year or so our intro video and CHL videos were produced by the Steelers company that is based there and does all their stuff. So if they've been busy doing the Steelers video then maybe that's why they've not had chance to do ours yet. Of course with them being the Steelers video guys, they're going to give priority to them. Let's hope ours is now being done now although I doubt they'll be that keen to get it done before their own come to us mid Oct. I'm sure this happened last season where we had a crap one and then they produced the one with lighting from the eyes mid October. |

The last thing the Steelers need is another reason for the start of a game to be delayed. Although they have at least put some effort into it, with the whole steel foundry bit going on, rather than some shots of Dave Clarke wandering around the NIC, presumably looking for the physio's room. |

There shouldn't be a need to have a holding video, the season started on Saturday 5th September and there is a 5 month off season. If you can't make that deadline you are not doing your jobs properly. Like everything with the off ice product we are miles behind the times. The video should have been a short sharp upbeat set of clips, CGI images etc. Following that there should be an intro sequence with the current teams profile pictures. There is no need to try and produce a video including current players especially when you can't get them here in time or don't even recruit them.
There is nothing worse than someone or a group of people who have overstayed their welcome but that is where we are as a club. It's alright recruiting a better team on the ice but if they aren't being supported off the ice with well thought out PR and marketing campaigns, state of the art and refreshing match night presentation and interesting and modern clothing ranges and memorabilia then eventually the brand will weaken. I always felt this year was a real crossroads of a season and the way it has started has been apologetic at best in terms of off ice efforts and if the last two years have taught us anything it's only a matter of time before the on ice product goes the same way.
