Some teams do this with impressive grace, take for example the Panthers perfectly executed meme that took days to plan and develop. Others teams are less successful at this endeavor.
Case in point, the Jacksonville Jaguars sent out a relatively standard social media request in which they asked their fans to respond with a GIF showing their excitement for the 2017 season.
