Decoding Duval: A Geography Lesson (Kind Of)
Don't worry, this won't be a snoozefest. Jacksonville, Florida, the home of the Jaguars, resides in a place called Duval County. Think of it like this: Duval is the family name, Jacksonville is the cool cousin everyone knows. So, when the fans yell "Duval," they're basically saying, "We're fam! We bleed teal!"
This love for Duval County goes way back. Local rappers started using "Duval" in the 90s, and by the early 2000s, it became the fans' rallying cry. It's short, catchy, and lets everyone know these folks mean business.
Fun Fact: Duval Almost Became the Official Fan Name
Yep, you read that right. Back in 2013, the Jags wanted to ditch the generic "Jaguars Fans" and asked their supporters to vote for a new nickname. Duval almost won! But in the end, the fans chose something even more hardcore: Duval 'Til We Die (DTWD). Now that's some serious dedication.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
So Next Time You Hear "Duval..."
Now you're in the know! You can join the chant, high-five your fellow Jaguars fan, and show your newfound appreciation for Duval County.
Remember: It's pronounced DOO-val, not doo-VAL. Nobody likes a pronunciation faux pas.
