B-Rich Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Just got back from Europe. When I was in Switzerland, I saw a guy wearing an old NHL Colorado Rockies sweatshirt. It was just me checking at myself in the mirror before going out hiking, but still.... I DID wear that sweatshirt while I was there... the above shot is not Switzerland, obviously... but this is: 1 Quote It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remembered I saw a kid wearing a gold Milwaukee Brewers shirt in an Indiana rest stop, now that is a real surprise lol I saw Packers and Brewers gear on my trip to Wisconsin, but no Bucks though the Bucks won a title more recently than the other two.

Hmm Basically, the Bucks' fanbase covers far less of the state than does that of the Brewers, never mind the Packers. Depends on where you went and how far away from Milwaukee you were, though.

monkeypower Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I was walking through my neighborhood here in Calgary and noticed a backyard that had a New Mexico Lobos mini basketball hoop stuck to the side of the fence. Like one of those indoor hoops that come with the foam balls. I also could have been the subject of this thread as I was wearing a Stampeders shirt in Polly's Pancake Parlor in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire and an old man came up to me and said he visited Calgary during the Olympics.

Discrim Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Occasionally, I see somebody wearing an Expos cap. A couple minutes ago, a pickup pulled away from the bus stop I'm currently at, and it had a CF Montreal decal on it. I almost never see anything MLS around these parts, let alone anything Canadian MLS...and AFAIK there's no real affinity to Montreal or French Canada here (now Guadalajara, that's a different story).

In the coverage of the submersible that was built and operated by that "safety is a waste of time" fellow, there were clips of previous crews of the thing. And one of the people in those clips was wearing an Expos cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say that was out of place at all. Downstate, packers fans are pretty much 1:1 with bears fans in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 In the checkout line at Walmart, I saw a lady wearing a Las Vegas Aces jersey. This is probably the first time I've ever seen anything WNBA in the wild, or if I have before, I've long forgotten about it.

Sec19Row53 Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 There's a kid in the third row behind home plate at PNC for today's Brewers/Pirates game. He's wearing a Brooklyn Dodger cap. Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The common explanation for this is that a generation of Yinzers moved away during the late 80s when steel was dying off. Now there are enclaves of Steelers fans all over the country because of this emigration. I feel like sports broadcasters talk about how well the Steelers' fans travel, and while there is some truth to that, really it's more that there are just expat Pittsburghers and first-generation diaspora in a lot of other parts of the country. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Cunningham Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I saw the Bucs play the Brewers on Saturday, and among the myriad black and gold jerseys, I saw a nice Expos Vladimir Guerrero throwback. No idea what the connection was, if any, but it was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I saw a very overweight man at The Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC wearing a Boston Red Sox jersey and New York Yankees hat. I don't think that's even allowed. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 While watching the Twins-Mariners game in Minnesota tonight, the guy sitting right behind home plate is wearing a Buffalo Bills cap.

CS85 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Guy doing a UIUC tour with his family was wearing a #80 Chicago Bears Bernard Berrian home jersey. I almost stopped to shake his hand.

Discrim Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Saw a guy wearing a Las Vegas Aviators tee today, and a few days ago someone else wearing a Canada Day Blue Jays cap. Honorable mention to the two guys wearing lavender Real Madrid shirts.

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 39 minutes ago, GloriaSmeltzer said: In the 1980s, David Letterman wore various sports gear on Late Night for remote pieces, like Cardinals or Tigers caps, and a Houston Gamblers jersey once. Even though he sported a USFL jersey, he still mocked the league. In 1983, he joked about being a long-time Panthers fan since he was "this high," even though he was 36 then. Now, some people say the same thing sincerely in their 50s. He also did a funny set piece called "The USFL Hall of Fame." One gag featured only Herschel Walker and a checklist on trading cards. Another had a mis-numbered jersey with "5 backwards-3." It cracks me up! What a remarkably perceptive and insightful comment. Tell me, where do you get your ideas? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Spotted a guy wearing a Pete Rose Montreal Expos jersey at the Twins/Cardinals game at Busch Stadium last night. (It was also full of mistakes, so it was likely a low-quality knockoff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
