Badwagon Fan

ARE: typical non-sports gomers who go ga-ga when their sports team surprisingly enters the post-season. They often shells out hundreds and thousands of dollars to buy crapola seats at the nose bleed sections just to show their friends that "I AM A FAN". Aka - Scalpers' Victims.

Dude 1: "Hey! The Colorado Rox has won 20 games in a row - let's go get scalpers' tickets on Craigslist!!!"

Dude 2: "I am a real baseball fan - that means I cheer for the pathetic CUBS. I am no Badwagon Fan, and besides you didn't even go earlier when I had free tix!"

Bandwagon Fan

Anyone who claims they are a "fan" of a particular sports team, even though they had no prior support for/interest in the team until that team started winning. These types of fans only show playoff interest, have probably never watched a regular season game, don't own any type of team merchandise, nor would they buy any.

Everyone in Cleveland became a bandwagon fan only after LeBron James got drafted and they made the playoffs.

BANDWAGON FAN - Hockey

1. Detroit Redwing fans all over the US and Canada, that are NOT from Detroit and never followed the Wings prior to the Wings recent cup wins! (NOTE: Fans since the "Dead Wing Era - 1967-1997" do not fall in the catagory of bandwagon)

2. The majority of People (but not all people) that cheer for the Redwings in an opposing arena.

Bandwagon Fan

A disgraceful sports 'fan' who roots for a particular team (usually one that has constant postseason success) but knows nothing about that team's history, players, coaching staff, etc. In fact, the 'fan' probably didn't give two shits about the particular team until they started winning. The bandwagon fan makes the established fanbase of a team look bad and is often seen flaunting New York Yankees hats, Miami Heat jerseys and/or Alabama Crimson Tide gear. A bandwagon fan is usually someone who fails at life and cannot think for him/herself.

Ex. 1)
True Fan: "I didn't know you liked the 49ers. You didn't root for them when Alex Smith was quarterback."
Bandwagon Fan: "What are you talking about? I was born in San Francisco!" (Lie)

Ex. 2)
Bandwagon Fan: "Hey did you see the Bruins win the Stanley Cup last night?!? Look at my dedication, I bought all this fan gear last week!"
True Fan: "You follow hockey?"
