TheRicSlick Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think if you stop being a fan after a rebrand, then you were never a real fan.Sure the Buccaneers update was bad, but that doesn't mean i'm going to stop being a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rays Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 I think if you stop being a fan after a rebrand, then you were never a real fan.But the players disapear, and then if the team colors and logo also changes, then there is nothing left but a city name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS85 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The Pacers, kinda sorta. I was in love with the Miller-era Pacers and was a HUGE fan of the pinstripes era. Once Reggie retired and after the malice in the palace stuff, I stopped paying attention to basketball and with my favorite player retiring and the sport leaving my interest simultaneously, it all coincided with their rebrand to this current boring era of uniforms. I wouldn't say the rebrand made me dislike the team but the rebrand occurred after a time of great change. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

smzimbabwe Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I'm still a fan of the team, but it will reduce my merchandise purchases. Though it wasn't a full rebrand, I will not buy black UW merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yankees could change their name to something bland like "Bronx Bears" and I'd still be a fan. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call them bandwagoners, but for me I only consider that true when it's because a team is successful. But hey, I saw Suarez have a fantastic World Cup in 2010 and have been cheering for Liverpool ever since (and only this past season have they really had any success). If they lose Suarez, will I be less inclined to cheer for them? Yup.

wonderbread Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 But that means you are a fan of the uniforms, not the team, the same way you can be a fan of a player, like people switching from liking the colts to broncos because of Payton manning. Neither were fans of the team which is the point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You kinda can. I've been a Bucs fan since I was a young kid (hell, just look at my member title), and my interest took an ENORMOUS hit with this current rebrand. Granted, the rebrand deal wasn't the only thing that's soured me on the Bucs (Greg Schiano, Raheem Morris, Greg Schiano, the purchase of Man U, the way Gruden's final season ended, Greg Schiano, trading players like Blount and Talib for seventh round picks along with completely bungling the Revis contract, Greg Schiano) but it's definitely looking like the final straw.

Don't think I'll ever completely sever my fan-tie, but between all that what DJ just said above and this...whatever you wanna call this rebrand, let's just say that tie is a whole lot thinner now than it used to be. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I didn't stop being a Bucks fan for quite some time until after the Irish Rainbows were gone, but I never cared for the switch to purple. While the current unis are an upgrade over the last, a return to the rainbows might get me to actually care about them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Here's the thing, no matter what happens with the Bucs, I plan on staying a fan no matter once. Sure, I hate the new identity of the team. But Instill love the team. I'm just going to hope that, eventually, we change the look again. Ive only been a Bucs fan for "17 years" (got into football when I was around 10 so really 7), but I could never see me changing my support for the team.

But these definitions are all subjective, and I can empathize with you when it comes to something like all the recent fans of the Seahawks I've always loved "The pictures looked good on the computer," Will Brown explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 These guys...... were my official "second" when I was a kid.

FFWally Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I grew up in Ft Worth, Texas. So should have been a Cowboys fan, but wasn't, not until Gerry purchased the team, and that begins a rocky relationship.I know from about 6 or 7 years old I was a Rams fan, I loved Jack Youngblood, Jim Youngblood, Pat Haden, John Cappelletti, Jim "Hacksaw" Reynolds, and loved the uniforms. I don't remember the Blue and White, but remember going to a deeper blue when the team went to Anaheim. And I stayed a fan through good and bad, even the move to St Louis. But those god forsaken Gold and Navy uniforms ruined it for me.By that time I had become a Cowboys fan... after almost getting my mom and uncle killed at the 76 Rams Cowboys game. I had all the gear, loved my Rams.That rebrand in St Louis just finally did it in for me.I cant think of any other rebrand that has soured me like that simple change to gold. I still hate it. Wont even watch a game when they have that crap on. ANd throwback games in proper colors make me long for Dickerson!Texas Rangers Rebrand to red in 94 was brilliantMavericks to Blue and Blue brilliantJaguars rebrand love it... save for that f'd up helmet.I even kind of like the new Bucs look, Fictional History of the SFAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 These guys...(70s/80s Seahawks photo)... were my official "second" when I was a kid. Great logo, great colors, and played in the AFC, so they were never a direct problem for my Vikings.These guys...(Current Seahawks photo)...can disappear off the face of the earth and I wouldn't miss them.This is similar to how it could work for me. For my favorite teams (see my sig), I like them whether their uniforms are great (inaugural Wild),awful (some editions of Wisconsin basketball), or mediocre (most editions of the Timberwolves). The uniforms have nothing to do with the extent to which I follow these teams and whether I'd sell my soul for a championship (I would).It's those "other faves" that are impacted by the uniforms. As a kid, I liked the Bengals and Buccaneers. Truth be told, my affinity for these teams is mostly lost because I sort of stopped having "other faves" but that slim connection I had with the Bucs (creamsicle), Devils (Green and Red), Orioles (standing bird on the cap) and Bengals (non-clownsuit) are pretty much gone...I don't "kinda pull for them" when my teams are out anymore. And I still sometimes do "pull for" teams because of the uniforms... I may, in the playoffs, pull for teams like the Blue Jays (after years of blah), Maple Leafs, Red Wings, and Islanders over some teams, with uniforms being the "tie breaker". But I am not really a "true fan" of these teams.
