As Leicester City continue to upset the established order in the Barclays Premier League this season, across the pond there’s another team taking their own league by storm – the Carolina Panthers.
Ron Rivera’s side came within a whisker of securing a fabled unbeaten record in the National Football League’s regular season, with their 15-1 record seeing them enter the postseason as the NFC’s no.1 seed.
It’s a record that mirrors closely the Foxes’ own remarkable rise, which saw them spend Christmas Day at the top of the table for the first time in the Club’s history - giving Claudio Ranieri’s team the platform for a truly special season.
Both City and Carolina have become one of the most feared teams in their respective leagues through a combination of hard work and ability. For the Foxes the goals of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have sent opposition defences into a spin, while for the Panthers, quarterback Cam Newton has staked a compelling case for the NFL’s MVP award with some irresistible play.
So with a huge matchup for Carolina against the Seattle Seahawks now on the horizon, the Foxes showed their support for the Panthers by sending out personalised Leicester City jerseys to four of the team’s stars – Newton, Luke Kuechly, Josh Norman and Graham Gano.
