Serious Why can't we have custom flairs?
Obviously we have flairs but it is limited to a predefined list of emojis, with no text. I'm wondering for the reason.
It would be really fun to see what people come up with like in the other subs.
I'm from Germany and some things here are not for me because it requires local knowledge or something. I'd like to make it clear from the beginning. Also I'd like to represent German Pats Nation 😁
I read a lot about fans that moved from the NE-Area to where ever. I think it would be fun to see where people are located.
Lets hear your options on that. And maybe there is someone how can explain why Text isn't allowed.

Guten Tag!
Go Pats! I live within 30 minutes from Foxboro! Just a tad closer. Did you see the Pats come to Frankfurt?

It was impossible to get tickets. Millions of people were in line to get tickets (digital line of course). And this year the tickets for Munich were crazy expensive. But I went to London when they played the Jags 2(?) years ago. We got smacked but at least I was able to see the pats live.

That’s cool! I work with some Germans and they too had trouble getting tickets. I bet that London trip was a blast even despite Mac Jones 😂

Indeed it was not a high quality game 😅 even the jags were garbage back then. But it still was a fantastic experience. And I think that day was the kickoff point for my wife to become a Jags fan. 😁

Wilkommen!!! I moved back to Massachusetts from Northern Arizona three years ago!!
I cheered for the Patriots when living there, but also watched and cheered for the local Arizona Cardinals as well. Lovely state. Lived there for nine years, but New England is my home!!

yeah the preset emoji list is pretty barebones, maybe the mods had a bad experience with flairs getting out of hand at some point
a "Deutsche Pats Nation" text would be clean though, beats trying to explain you're not from mass every time someone asks a local knowledge question
when I see subs with custom flairs it usually adds a lot of personality, kinda odd this one locks it down so hard

Hallo! Any chance you’re also going to Munich game and have heard of any pregame festivities? Been trying to plan the weekend out.

u/Paquan2993 wants custom flairs 1d ago
Sorry but no. I'm also not from around so I can't really give any advice

u/johnsonh77 1d ago
Okay, thanks anyway. I’ve heard there will NFL activations in city center but there’s very little information regarding exactly when/where.

But why do I have to ask a mod for that? I mean I asked for a flair line 10 hours ago, look what I got. It was funny the first hour but yet I'm annoyed.
