A landwagon fan is different than a bandwagon fan as with a landwagon fan they like a team, and wear that teams apparel, that is local to them YET they know nothing about the team and don't even know when their "favorite" team even plays.
Someone who lives in Boston and "likes" the Red Sox and finds out that they won the World Series either by accidently flicking through TV channels and seeing highlights of the final game on SportsCenter by accident or a friend tells them.
Somewhere in Boston or near Boston...
Actual Fan: "Dude! The Red Sox finally won the World Series! The curse is over!! YES!!!!!!"
Landwagon Fan: "What? No fucking way! when was the game? And what curse are you talking about?"

Get the Landwagon Fan mug.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.

Get the Bandwagon Fan mug.1. A person that becomes a fan after a hockey team wins the Stanley Cup, AND is not, nor ever has been from the city of the winning team.
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.

Get the Bandwagon fan mug.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?"
