You all are wrong lol

The duval thing started as a college thing. Say you go to FAMU, well there are lot of people from Broward county, Pensacola, other cities in general. Yelling Duval was like a roll call. If you at the Moon (a club in Tallahassee) you scream duval to see how many Jacksonville people in there to let everyone else know how deep you are in the club lol

I would say maybe started in the 80’s honestly

It is precisely a “rep where you stay thing” it just sounds weird cause now people are saying duval while in duval county lol. It’s something you say when you are somewhere else, not in Jacksonville lol.

But it’s cool to see the culture change in Jacksonville. Very happy

That probably was when fans/players really started using it at the stadium. 

However - there was a radio DJ that went by "Easy E" on 92.7 FM in Jax back in the day that used to say "Duuuuuuvvvvallll"  all the time.  Also "West-Saaaahhh-yyyyyyyd" was one of his on air hooks. 

I think he deserves credit.

Ah yes. Easy E and T-Roy on 92.7 the beat. 

The good old days lol
