No. 2: The Traditionalist
This fan constantly tells you how it was back in the day. They do not want any changes made from the team they remember. This is the fan who will blame a loss on players wearing a black jersey. Do you remember when we named Russ the new Uga and many fans flipped out because he has a few brown spots? What are we dog racists? Change is never ok to this fan.
How you will know this fan: Two simple words – mom….jeans. This is an old fan who hates change and typically wears mom jeans. If it’s a male, look for cardigan sweaters or perhaps a comb-over. Either could be spotted driving a station wagon or pre-2000 Ford Taurus.
What to do when you encounter this fan: You will not typically encounter many of these on social media as they believe the internet to be the devil and do not have social media accounts. “I don’t need a bookface or a tweeter!” If you encounter them at a game simply compliment them on their mom jeans and move on. My mom taught me to respect my elders.
