The Panthers have announced a major update to the way they recognise club greats, unveiling a new “Legends” status designed to simplify and elevate their honour system. The move aims to ensure the club’s most influential players, coaches and leaders receive clear, prestigious recognition for their extraordinary contributions.
Under the revamped structure, Legends status will become the highest individual honour bestowed by the club. It will celebrate those who not only achieved excellence on the field, but also shaped the Panthers’ identity, culture and long-term success. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernise the club’s awards framework and make it more meaningful for members, fans and former players.
Club officials said the change provides greater clarity and ensures the recognition process reflects the high standards synonymous with the Panthers brand. By consolidating previous honour categories into a streamlined system, the organisation hopes to better highlight the stories and achievements of its most iconic figures.
The introduction of Legends status reinforces the Panthers’ commitment to honouring their history while continuing to build a strong future, ensuring that the individuals who laid the foundation for success are celebrated for generations to come.
