Had to get this off my chest.
I live as far east as possible in a city of about half a million called Halifax, where I am virtually the only die hard packer fan alive. For the past 5-10 years it's been basically impossible to have a intelligent packer conversation with anyone "offline" so I just kept to the usual NFL talks with friends or whatever.
I felt like I was shooting for some sort of MANdate everytime I would see someone in some sort of packer wear, (which is extremely rare here) doing whatever I can get spark up some sort of small talk about his hat, jersey, etc.
But now, the happiest packer fan in all of Halifax has to walk around everyday looking at a sea of packer hats and jersey trying to filter out the bandwagoners and the true fans, which seems like to me is 95% bandwagon.
I love seeing the team make all this extra revenue, especially with the CBA, but can't stand people that wear a packer jersey and ask me who Hendersen is when I wear mine.

Must be nice to know your favorite team gets to go to the superbowl every single year.

Same thing here in halifax, all the tv/radio coverage is pats this and pats that. Thats why theres so many Pats fans here, plus its the closest team. Makes me sick.

There are "bandwagon" fans everywhere.
Look at it this way.......if they are buying up Packer gear by you, that means the PACKERS are doing well on the field, and that fact should make it easy for you to look around and see people wearing OUR team's gear.
If no one was buying the stuff, that would mean the Packers were not playing well.
So.....there's room on the bandwagon from all the Favre fans and Ted Thompson haters (probably one in the same) that jumped off with their "The Packers will NEVER win a SB with Ted Thompson and MM and that lousy AR at the controls!"

Yeah but if I don't notice even the slightest memorabilia increase around a city its really easy to notice coming off a 13-3 season, then what does it take.
I know it's all for the better for the team, especially since this could be a huge year for revenue impact. But damn it bugs me being lost in a sea of fake fans that don't know shit when i've been the only diehard in sight for so many years. Like seriously how can you sleep at night when you have a packers NFC champ hat on and ask a fellow fan (me) who Hendersen is while i'm wearing his jersey.
