How to Spot an Avid Sports Fan

Sports fans are a dime a dozen – and that isn’t a bad thing! With so many sports to choose from and with so many teams to route for spotting a sports fan is easy if you know what to look for. Avid sports fans like to wear their favourite sport on their sleeves, literally. But, it doesn’t just end with the jersey they’re wearing, it can appear in a bunch of different places. Here are a few ways to spot an avid sports fan.

They Play Video Games

Although many of us would like to be famous sports stars, most of us aren’t. We can pretend, though, by playing FIFA, MADDEN, NHL, or NBA. Did you know that 7 in 10 FIFA fans prefer to play football/soccer games rather than the sport itself? It makes sense, considering most of us have full-time jobs that don’t give us much room for sports. Playing video games is a common way to relax, so your avid sports fan friend likely plays their favourite sport virtually.

Season Tickets or Sports Cable Packages

An avid sports fan will want to watch their team in person as much as possible, though sometimes they can’t due to their team being too far away, or the price of tickets is too expensive. If that’s the case, the avid sports fan will likely have on-demand. On-demand is super flexible, and you can take your team anywhere in your pocket if you get the app on your smartphone. They’re probably in the break room looking at the latest scores or catching replays.

They Have A Custom Private Number Plate

You can get private number plates with your favourite sports team on them. Whether your favourite sport is cricket, football, hockey, boxing or even archery, there exists a plate that’s right for you. If you want even more customization, you could go to AbsoluteReg.co.uk and add a personalized number or letter to your plate. Obvious ones are your favourite players’ jersey number!

Merch, Merch Merch

The most obvious way to spot a sports fan is by what they wear. They’ll have the jersey, the t-shirt, the hat, and anything else they can get their hands on. Some sports fan will even go the extra mile and have accessories that relate to their favourite team, including phone cases, backpacks, headphones, beer koozies and decal stickers for their car. If your avid sports fan friend ever invites you to their house, they likely have a room dedicated to their love of a sport.

They Can Talk your Ear Off

Avid sports fans will be able to tell you the names of every player on their favourite team when they’re playing next, and likely they’ll know the stats of each player. They’ll really like to talk to you about the game that just happened, or the play that a player made. They’ll probably complain about bad penalties, dumb injuries committed to players and get excited when they score. Basically, they’ll be vocal about their love of the sport.
