Someone who has no reason to be a fan of a sports team yet cheers for them anyways just because said team wins.
Also see Carl Guidry.
Carl Guidry is not a real Yankees Fan, he is a bandwagon fan and full of fail!

An athlete whose team is liked only because he plays on it. They are liked by fans wherever they go. These fans only like the player, not the team. (i.e. somebody turned into a Miami Heat fan when LeBron left Clevelend and hated the Cavaliers, but then was a Clevelend fan once again when LeBron returned).
LeBron is a bandwagon athlete.
A method an engineer uses to execute an idea with no science or facts. Typically used in corporate world by engineers who speak with great confidence.
Method steps -
1. Gather a bunch of charts from online
2. Deductively link a path through the data that seems smart but never uses scientific fact
3. Get as many people on board with your philosophical concept
4. Come back with your people to beat down any and intimidate any one who does not agree with your idea that uses data and equations
5. If you are new to the company say you don't know how the people before you came up with it.
6. Plan ahead for the presentation to strongly shut up anyone who may start to point out facts by stating "We can go on for a long time in great detail about that, but that's for another time" or say "There is so much to that discussion we need to put together a presentation for another date to address that"
-The customer has come to us with a valid complaint that our products are defective by design. Any engineer in this company can clearly see that. As engineering 101 information was ignored in the design. We will just gather a team to bandwagon-engineering the customer with information.
-I don't know what I am doing with engineering so I am going to bandwagon-engineer my idea to management.
It's when someone starts saying they hate something, just because there's a lot of other people who also hate that thing.
For example, if a new video game was released, and a lot of people hated the game, someone might start saying they also hate it, but they only "hate" it because so many other people say they hate the new game. It's like that person is hopping onto a hypothetical "hate bandwagon".
a deadbeat mom or dad who doesn't put any time or effort into encouraging, mentoring, or otherwise raising their son/daughter...but doesn't hesitate to play the part of Proud Parent as soon as the kid starts kicking ass at something, esp if s/he didn't play any part in said child's success.
That asshole tried to discourage drum lessons, argue against buying a kit, and doesn't spend any time with his boy...but he wants pictures and video of his son to show off now that he's getting good at drums? He's a bandwagon parent if I ever saw one.
An individual who strives against the normative trends of society, soley to appear unique and special in some way.
Jonathan Randall is a Reverse Bandwagoner.

In baseball, someone who shamelessly cheers for the Boston Red Sox not because they follow the team, grew up in close proximity, or even really like them but because of the Red Sox recent period of success and popularity.
When the Red Sox finally miss the playoffs (as they did in 2010), or lose their coolness, the Boston Bandwagoner loses interest in the team and (often) in baseball.
Generally, Boston bandwagoners quote Jon Papelbon and love to say the name "Big Papi" using a a Boston accent... "Big Pawpi." They also talk about Dustin Pedroia's short stature, team-mentality and try to convince you of his legitimacy as an MVP-caliber second baseman.
Mike: Hey you guys see the Yanks-Sox game last night. It was sick.
Craig: Yeah man I---
Boston BandWagoner: Yeah it was really wicked guys, Pedroia and Big Pawwwpi deserve MVP and Kevin Maillah is the best clutch stahhh evah. Cowboy Up!
Mike: Kevin MILLAR retired a couple of years ago and hasn't played in Boston for a half-decade. You're disgusting.
Craig: Stop saying "wicked," you're from Indianapolis you Boston Bandwagoner.
