Anyone else noticing a few more fans than usual?

I was out doing some errands today and I swear I saw more people than usual with Cards gear on, especially for a Saturday. It was cool to see, even if most of it involved the old logo. :)

Guess the bandwagon is starting to fill up, lol.

Bally’s Sports needs to go away
Yup. Last night at our bowling league the opposition noticed my Cardinals shirt and was talking about having season tickets. The team on the lane next to us had a couple guys with Boldin jersey's on. Seems I'm seeing more jerseys around in lots of places. I like it.

In another thread, I mentioned seeing more Cards stickers and license plate frames on vehicles lately.

Good for them and us

More fans = More revenue for the organization

I welcome all comers

I noticed that too, Wendy. I think in one day I saw 3 separate instances of Cardinal fans.

HELLS YES!

I guess if we go on a 2-3 game losing skid, there should be plenty of nice, newer Cards gear on Ebay.


Sorry, but I hate bandwagon fans.

I don't think I ever saw one piece of Patriots gear out this way, but after a few SB wins, their hats were as frequent as USC or UCLA, and I just wanted to club them over their frigging heads. :mulli:

Although there may be more new fans... today while out looking for a lawn mower I found a TILLMAN jersey for $20...

I knew they weren't fans as the other jersey there was an E. Smith!!!!!

Their loss - my gain!!!

I too have been seeing WAY more Card's gear around town. I have mixed feelings about bandwagoners.....normally I don't mind them, but now even my idiot brother-in-law (used to be a Pat's fan until Brady got injured) bought a Fitz jersey so it's annoying me thus far.

It does get to you a little bit if you've followed the team since they came here. I remember looking for Cards stuff in local stores and only finding Cowboys, Niners, Raiders, etc.

Now many businesses are selling a nice selection of Cards stuff, hanging Cards signs and banners, running Cards-related promotions, etc.

My wife and I just roll our eyes and say "Yeah, they've always supported them like that."

Just got back from Disneyland and there were dozens of people there wearing Cards gear. Also walked by a family of about 7 or 8 people, and everyone of them were wearing Cowpies gear and I noticed one of them look at me (in my Cards jersey) and mumble: "that's the team that beat us." Awesome.

Was shopping this afternoon and saw a bunch of sports stores prominently displaying Cards gear in their windows. Nice to see. Wish we'd see it all the time, win or lose.

Funny how the Raiders gear is starting to get scarce, lol and woo hoo!

At least bandwagon Cardinal fans will immediately jump off the second they start losing. I'm stuck on a bandwagon full of idiot drunk Cowboys fans who still seem to be living in 1994.
