Seven Nation Army Chant

[bmorefan444]

Well folks, the Seven Nation Army chant that Chris Carr encouraged us to start a few years ago has officially been adopted by every other team known to man.  What do you say we try to bring something new and creative to our gameday experiences at The Bank?  I've always thought it would sound intimidating to have 70,000 people making "CAWWW" noises.  Imagine the sound of that angry flock of birds.   

 

What chants would you like to see used at The Bank?

LOL i think that would be scary too

Seven Nation Army is essentially the perfect stadium song. I'd hate to see it go just because it isn't "ours".

Don't even have to really replace the 7 Nation Army chant, just add another one, an original one that no one could ever take away from us.

ya good point

I mean, there are plenty of teams out there with their very own trademark chants. Seven Nation Army was supposed to be ours, but as we all see, other teams are adopting it now too. So why not be unique with our very own chant?

Technically, the Seven Nation Army chant doesn't belong to us unless you're strictly referring to American football.

That is what I'm referencing, and I think that the OP is also referring to that as well.

The only other chant in a song I think would be cool for a stadium is the chant from the song 'Can't Hold Us'.

Yeah. He's really talented. I have a very wide taste in music except two genres.

I love absolutely everything music wise, except classical and country. But anyways, back on topic now after that brief off-topic stint lol. Sorry.

tbh, i think Seven Nation Army is WAY overdone anyway. I remember after the Browns vs Ravens game on christmas eve 2 years ago, people did it like EIGHT times walking down the stairs to ground level. It got annoying. 

 

I'm cool with getting us involved and all, and i like the chant, i just think its overdone.

[Purple Nurple]

I think the CAW idea is awesome, but imagine how stupid everyone would look doing that.

[5aiah]

Seven Nation Army isn't even original to the Ravens in the first place. Its always been a stadium song. I love the actual song and glad we had a cool chant for a while but it's not that unique anymore and arguably never really was. I think maybe we were the only pro "gridiron" football fan base that used it, but I would like to see something more original and unique that no one else will mimic.

Since we are on this subject, if I may.

 

The " Manure Chant " when the original happened, it was unquestionably epic.  It was also unquestionably WELL deserved.

It fit the moment.  I was there.

That said, I have seen other times fans have tried to "recreate" that moment.  Every one has been far less deserving.

 

What I am saying Baltimore, is this, let it go.  Show some class.

[hawkprey]

I'm personally okay with losing the chant as long as we replace it with something else you can sing along to. Maybe the YMCA song. I like being involved.

At one point the only places I ever heard the 7 Nation Army Chant were European soccer matches, Ravens home games and Michigan Wolverine home games. Was embarrassed for the Heat fans doing it during the finals.. just got really sad how EVERYONE does it now. Ravens fans obviously didn't come up with the chant but as far as NFL teams go it was our thing.. Just like how it is for Michigan in college football. Even with that said I still support doing the chant at home games, it's about getting the energy level up in the stadium and getting people into the game.

I had to look up what you were talking about lol. One of the best 1 minute videos on Youtube that I have ever seen LOL.

The Seven Nation Army Chant is over used by our fans and therefore wearing out its welcome.  I was at the first game when they did it and it was priceless.  But now people do it wayyyyy too often and it's annoying.

Agreed, thats what i said on the first page. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that.

How did the refs react to it??

[SeaHawk]

Agreed, thats what i said on the first page. Glad I'm not the only one that thinks that.

 

I guess since I've never been to a Ravens game I don't notice how overused the chant is. I guess it's just one of those things where you have to be there to know.

You're not the only one.  I turn the news on and they have fans in the background doing it.  Ugh they look like drunk fools sometimes lol.

It's not so bad at the games, it's everywhere else.  Walking down the street, on the Light Rail, on the news, fans calling into the radio stations even lol.

I actually agree with you.  It almost gets to be on the same level as the purple camo pants when it gets overdone.  

 

I'll be using the bathroom and some drunk guy wants to start the chant in there.

I know it is kinda a sore subject, but the Broncos IN-COM-PLETE is pretty cool. Maybe something along the lines of that, also it would be very hard to get something started from the forums unless the writers write something about it.
