NFL team reveals its match schedule with a journey through gaming history
An NFL team has announced its schedule ahead of the new season with nods to a whole bunch of classic videogames. In a tweet earlier today, the Carolina Panthers revealed the dates of all of its upcoming games with references to titles like Sonic, Mortal Kombat, and even Words with Friends.
Starting out with a personalised take on Sega’s logo, the video, which you can check out for yourself further down this article, runs through the new season, assigning a different classic game to each match. Sometimes that’s done by the means of character select screens, with games like Mortal Kombat, Goldeneye, and classic Tony Hawk and WWE games used to highlight star players.
Elsewhere, the references are even more creative. As Sonic rushes through a level, he reveals a sign depicting the Seattle Seahawks logo, while Oregon Trail is used to announce an away game against the San Francisco 49ers. The Panther’s mascot, Sir Purr, also features heavily, most notably when he’s captured in a Pokeball in Carolina's very own version of Pokemon Go.
