A Chicago Black Hawks fan, At one point a few years ago, The Black Hawks only had a quarter of their fans showing up to the games. But at their Stanley Cup parade they had 2 million. So as of 2010, if you became a Black Hawks fan THIS MEANS YOU!
Theres a BandWagon Hawks Fan in section 208 screaming because he thought that Hawks got a penalty, but they just went offside.

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.

95% of red sox fans as of 2005. made up of mostly fat, irish, red faced women and scrawny white homeboys who will wear their 2004 world championship tilted to the side like a god damn monkey while their over sized manny jerseys will hang all the way down to their knees. 10 years ago these bandwagoners didn't have to suffer watching mo vaughn gain 300 pounds, jose offerman trot around the bases like he was a in beer softball league, or mark portugal tripping over his own feet while pitching off the mound in almost every god damn start. But now they feel like true fans because they can name 3 players on the team.
That bandwagon sox fan over there just yelled "Go Red Sox" then "GGG-Unit" after, lets go beat his ass

A long distance bandwagon fan is a specific variety of bandwagon fan. Typical bandwagon fans are local, they ignore the particular sport altogether when their local team is doing poorly, and suddenly become superfans when they're doing well. Meanwhile, long distance bandwagon fans will become superfans of any team in the country when they're doing well, and then just as quickly pick a different team when the tables are turned.
They are often spotted wearing team merchandise which is later donated to a thrift store. Just like the regular bandwagon fans, they will swear that they've always liked their current team du jure, and vehemently deny ever being a fan of any other team.
Some prime examples of teams with great numbers of long distance bandwagon fans are: San Francisco 49ers in the 80s, Edmonton Oilers in the 80s, Dallas Cowboys in the 90s, Chicago Bulls in the 90s, Atlanta Braves in the 90s and early 2000s, New York Yankees in the late 90s and 2000s, and Indianapolis Colts in the 2000s.
LDBF: I love the Yankees! Those are my boys and always have been! I'm soooooo lucky that my favorite team is so good!!!
REALIST: Yeah, ok. Luck has nothing to do with it. You live in Kansas, you've never travelled anywhere near New York, and somehow I doubt you can name the starting lineup. You're the epitome of a long distance bandwagon fan.
LDBF: Whatever, you're just jealous because my team rulez!!!
REALIST: Right, because it would be so difficult for me to buy a Yankees hat and start calling myself a fan. <rolls eyes>
