The choice for San Francisco is clear... There can only be one team with a big cat as their logo in California, and that team is obviously the Pride, not those pesky imposters down in Los Angeles. Some may argue that the Panthers is the older team and therefore are the rightful owners of the big cat team identity, but they'd be wrong. Why, I hear you ask? Well, it's pretty simple really. Because I said so.

In all seriousness it's a pretty perfect rivalry, although it's been a while since both teams have been good enough at the same time for it to be relevant. Both teams being in California is a good start, making it close enough for fans to travel to game. Both teams follow the same theme in the whole big cat thing, which makes for good rivalry posters etc. And both teams being in the same division is also a great addition. I think over the next couple of seasons it might pick up and become one of the best rivalries in the league.
