Sports have been a big part of many people's lives, and many people see athletes as celebrities already. It's easy to watch a game on TV, but there is still something special about watching a game live. Many fans are willing to spend their hard-earned money to watch the team they support win or lose.
Some fans go the extra mile and make a sign to hold up at such games. People have been getting more and more creative over the years, and some of the signs you might see will just make you laugh. Here are some of the most random signs fans confidently held up at stadiums!
World Series Over True Love Any Day
Presenting your partner with an engagement ring and hoping for them to say yes is always nerve-racking. After all, no one wants to hear "no" as a reply. The girl above was given a choice to make during her proposal. Surprisingly, it looks like she preferred the World Series over a future with the guy.
She broke the guy's heart even more by making a sign and broadcasting her experience to the world. When he thought it couldn't get worse, someone was able to take a photo of her sign. Here we are making sure even more people know about it. Oops!
Man Under Puppy Pressure
There have been many occasions wherein people would have bets placed whenever they watch a certain game. Money is usually involved. But for the two people above, it looks like they came up with more creative compensation. If their team won, the guy has to buy a girl a corgi puppy.
The girl seems to be confident because she had the guts to create her own sign and show it to other people. It's unclear if they're a couple or not, but we're sure their relationship will get 100x better with that adorable puppy in their lives.
If You Can't Have Him, Name A Dog After Him
Sean Avery was a talented ice hockey player who got to play for the New York Rangers. He garnered many fans over the years, and some fans wanted him in their lives. Well, they can't actually date, but we guess naming a dog after him was good enough.
The girl with the sign doesn't see much of Avery today since he is enjoying retirement already. But at least she has a little Sean running around her house. Let's just hope she gets creative with the names of her kids instead of naming them all Sean too.
Ultimate Mom Shoutout
Those who watch WWE live are well aware that there are times wherein the audience is seen on some shots. Many fans make signs for players to see. Still, there are also a good number of fans who make signs so that it can be seen on TV when the camera faces their direction.
The person with the sign above had a good seat that day because he was in the frame of the closeup shots that day. He is obviously a fan of his mother's cooking and wanted the world to know about her wicked lasagna. So the question is, how can we order?
National TV Is The Best Place To Ask Directions
Many people tune into College Gameday on ESPN to be updated on different games. During the telecasts, there are times wherein some fans can be seen behind the commentator. They usually hold up signs, but the guy's sign above is definitely among the most eye-catching ones.
He created such a random sign with a question asking if he was in a Nickelback concert. Of course, he might've done this just to get more attention. But maybe, just maybe, he's actually bad with direction and was genuinely confused with where he was.
Joining The Hunter Pence Sign Bandwagon
Hunter Pence is an MLB player who is a member of the San Francisco Giants. He is so popular that he actually had a sign trend that went viral. People would basically insult him by making the most random claims on their sign. He wouldn't get offended at all and would just laugh about it.
There was a time he made it into a meme and placed the hashtag #HunterPenceSigns. He clearly knows how to ride along with people's jokes and make them smile. We're sure the amount of support he will be getting will just continue to grow.
When You Have A "Good" Sense Of Priorities
Fans have no control over the dates wherein certain games take place. So, people really need to have a flexible schedule if they want to see their favorite athletes in action. For the guy in the photo above, he decided to miss his court date just to watch a game.
He clearly had no regrets at all and wanted everyone else who watched the game to know about his great sense of priorities. Let's just hope he didn't find himself behind bars weeks or months after this photo was taken.
His Dad Should Probably Be A Coach
Fans would always have their opinions regarding what football players should do. Many of them even talk as if they were star players as well. The guy above clearly had a father who knew (or thought he knew) a lot of football and told his son to share his advice from the audience.
The son made a sign suggesting that his dad says they should run the ball. It was a good try, but we doubt the players in that game would actually take his advice. Teams hire and pay a good salary to their coaches and trust their word the most regarding how to approach a game.
Insult Or Compliment?
People love showing support for their favorite teams. Sometimes, this means throwing shade at players from the opposing team. A fan once wanted to call out Pau Gasol for looking like an alpaca. The sign above says it all, but there is actually a positive way to view it.
Alpacas are adorable animals, so maybe it can mean that he's adorable like them. Of course, the woman holding it up probably wanted him to feel insulted by the sign. Signs like this won't really affect how Gasol plays, and he is proudly a two-time NBA Champion already. He is also a six-time All-Star.
Giving His Two Cents
There is no rule in the world saying that you can only like or play one sport. Many athletes have already proven that they can excel in different sports. For the ice hockey players in the photo above, they were being given a suggestion from someone in the audience.
A guy is basically saying that golf is fun too in case they wanted to try something else. He isn't lying because golf is really fun, and they can make a lot of money from it as well. Although, these players probably don't have time for suggestions at that moment and are focused on winning the game.
The Eye Exam The Referees Never Asked For
It's common for fan-made signs to be directed at players, but there are also die-hard fans who create signs for the referees. The two guys above were already all out with their clothes and face paint that day. Yet, it looks like they had extra time to make a huge sign.
Their sign was designed in a way for it to look like what you see in an eye exam. They probably spot some fouls happening and are frustrated that the referees aren't doing anything about it. The two guys definitely deserve an A+ for creativity.
What Photoshop Was Made For
The sign above is among the more creative signs on this list. This fan made Kyle Singler look like he was the turtle-loving kid wearing a zombie Halloween costume in a viral video from back then. This required effort because the photo had to go through Adobe Photoshop.
As you can see, that fan wasn't the only creative fan that day because there was another fan wearing a Darth Vader costume. He took his support for Duke on another level by referencing the famous Star Wars line on the sign. It's definitely a catchy one!
Separated At Birth
Dirk Nowitski might not know his parents too well because he might've had a brother he was never aware of. A fan brought a sign during one of his games, and he was claiming that he is the basketball star's long lost brother. We don't really see the resemblance, but a guy can dream.
Of course, we doubt he actually believed it unless the fan has valid tests to prove it. With how awesome Nowitski in basketball, we're sure many people wouldn't mind being related to him. That's a life's worth of pro basketball lessons for free!
CBS' Real Meaning According To A Fan
The girl in the photo above who was supporting the Denver Broncos definitely wanted to stand-out with a sign that was witty and clever. All her initial ideas were probably done by someone else already, so she decided to create something that no one has ever seen.
Who would have known that you can actually make a witty remark connecting to CBS? In case you didn't know, those three letters stand for Columbia Broadcasting System. For her, it's "cardboard sign". We'll let you guys decide if you want to laugh or cringe. Years of her going to class led up to this one moment that she will remember forever.
Home Alone Star-Turned-Athlete?
By now, you can obviously tell that people really love making signs for Hunter Pence. The fan who made the sign above believes that he has a doppelganger who is famous. The meme shows his photo side by side with Home Alone's Marv who was played by actor Daniel Stern.
Their eyes, beard, and hairstyle are quite similar. However, many of you will agree when we say that Hunter is still the more attractive one. After all, he is also way younger since Stern is already in his 60s these days.
The Ultimate Burn
This guy with the clever sign above was throwing shade at the Toronto Maple Leafs. But judging by his outfit that day, it looks like he's supporting them. He has a big smile on his face, so it is a possibility that he really made that sign to be funny. He might also be friends with the players of the team.
The sign really deserves to be read, and what would have completed the insult is if someone stood beside him with a sign saying "ooh burn!". The Maple Leafs enjoyed many years of success, and they proudly won a total of thirteen Stanley Cups.
Seattle Seahawks Fans Or The Weeknd Fans?
If you love music, then seeing the sign above will make you think of the popular song by The Weeknd. The fan holding the sign might not really be a Weeknd fan, though. Perhaps he/she really meant to put those words into writing because that's what he/she is feeling from the coldness of the place.
You can see that the two fans are wearing a lot of layers already, but it still isn't enough. Watching NFL games during winter should definitely be considered as a sport as well. Braving the cold to support your favorite teams is definitely a whole new level of determination and effort.
The Bright Side Of Low Grades
This boy in the photo above seems to be having a hard time at school. He doesn't even mind for people to know that his G.P.A. has been going down. His school was going up against San Diego State University that day, and he said that they're going down a.k.a. losing.
Making the sign didn't really take that much effort for him because he just got a piece from a cardboard box and wrote down the words with a marker. We guess he won't be pursuing a career in the art industry in the future.
You Need To Watch Forrest Gump To Get This One
The University of Alabama football team has its fair share of fans or haters. The school became well known in pop culture because of the movie Forrest Gump. The start of the film played by actor Tom Hanks was able to make it into the team despite being an "underdog" that people just laughed at.
One fan decided to reference it in a sign he made, but it's unclear if his sign was meant to be negative or positive. We guess we will just leave it to your imagination. Props to him, though, for finding the right area for his sign to be seen on the live telecast.
Chase Daniel Fun Facts
Chase Daniel was a one-time Super Bowl winner with the New Orleans Saints. But since 2018, he has been playing for the Chicago Bears. Many people like him, but there are still people who bash him. The guy holding is clearly not a fan of his, and he is spreading rumors about his diet.
His sign says that Daniel eats boogers, which is such an immature statement. It's something you would only hear in middle school. Nonetheless, the maker of the sign got what he wanted, which is getting his sign seen on national TV.
Is Listening To Nickelback An Actual Taboo?
It's quite weird that there are people in this world that think listening to Nickelback is actually an insult. They are a talented band that has made a ton of great music over the years. Some fans once made a sign with a statement saying that Will Muschamp listens to the band.
We can give them the benefit of the doubt and just say they wanted to spread facts. However, you can easily interpret it as them trying to insult him. Well, they didn't succeed, and judging by their spelling errors, it looks like they need to pay attention to their teacher more in class.
Sign Expert For Hire
By the number of signs that are being shown by people during games, it's really hard to stand out these days. Luckily, there are some people who have mastered the art of getting signs noticed. This guy named Bradley Drew is one of them.
He once held up a sign once with his resume, and it looks like he has the right credentials for a professional sign marketing job. The hard work he has put in for his marketing degree is definitely paying off. We wonder how many job offers did he get thanks to this.
What ESPN Means To Some
This is another example of a sign with a random and immature remark. It basically says that broadcaster Lee Corso picks his nose. Instead of getting insulted by the sign, he just laughed at it and even got it showed off on national TV.
He didn't make any comment about the statement, so we guess you'll never know if he picks his nose or not. Corso has no time to get bothered by silly things like this because he is busy thriving in his career. He has been enjoying his longtime position as an analyst on College GameDay.
True Sportsmanship Exists
This guy you see above definitely stood out. Unlike others who show support for a certain team, his sign was actually showing support for both teams playing that day. This guy probably hates fighting and is all about spreading peace.
Sports were never created for people to tear each other down, and it's actually nice to see other athletes support other athletes as well. At the end of the day, all these athletes each work hard to get where they are. Also, they all get to live comfortably from the paychecks they receive from their professional careers, so everyone is a winner.
Full-Time Brother, Part-Time Matchmaker
Many guys don't like getting involved in the dating life of their sisters, but the guy above was clearly ready to be a matchmaker. It looks like he didn't have enough money to buy a ticket for the game he wanted to watch that day. This left him getting desperate.
The desperate time really brought him to a desperate measure because it's as if he's saying his sister is worth a ticket. If someone actually gave him a ticket and fell in love with the sister, then that would be a great story to tell. He might get even more viral on Social Media.
A Random Sign From A Random Guy
Whenever people hold up signs, anyone watching the game sitting behind them would suffer because their view will basically be blocked. The guy above was well aware of that, and he decided to make a sign about it. The funny thing is that the guy who's really behind him doesn't have any idea about the sign at all.
Let's just hope he didn't hold up that sign throughout the whole game because the people behind him could have easily picked a fight him. He won't have time to make random signs if he ends up at the hospital.
No To Kick Or Throw Harder, Yes To "Sports Harder!"
Anyone in their right mind knows that "sports" is a noun, and using it as a verb just gives it a completely different meaning. The guy above might not be a fan of words like "kick" or "throw", and he really wanted to have a sign saying "sports harder".
It's unclear if he even knew what was going on at that time, but at least he looks enthusiastic while holding his sign. The smile he had that day made him look like he doesn't care at all if people would understand the meaning of his sign. You do you boy!
Shooting Her Shots
We are used to seeing men be the ones buying the ring and popping the big question. Yet, there are women in this world who know what they want and don't mind being the one who proposes. This female fan above knew she wanted to propose, even if she's didn't know the guy personally.
She was on the Green Bay Packers' side, so she is most probably directing her sign to Aaron Rodgers. The man beside her looks like he's her partner, but she's willing to forget about him if she gets a "yes". Unfortunately, Rodgers is off the market and is madly in love with Danica Patrick.
Hunter Pence's Go-To Drink
Some people seem to be experts when it comes to Hunter Pence's diet program. This guy above had a sign describing what kind of beverages the baseball player would order if he would go to the nearest Starbucks. Pumpkin spice isn't really bad and would actually taste good with some lattes.
That "face" this fan is talking about is the face of a guy who won the World Series twice already. That is also the face of a guy who has an impressive multi-million dollar fortune thanks to his baseball career.
Loss Of Words
This fan in the photo above was at a loss of words, but he didn't want to head to the game without a sign to hold up. He then came up with the idea of just writing on the sign that he can't think of anything. That was definitely a waste of paper and ink.
Judging by the clothes he was wearing, it was cold when he watched the game, and he really tried his best to get the attention of people. Maybe next time he should research some witty statements online before he buys a ticket for a game.
Friends That Make Signs Together, Stay Together
This group of friends clearly made their signs together because they all used the same kind of paper and marker. They seem to be against ice hockey player Sidney Crosby because all their signs have insults directed to him. The nice thing is that their signs were full of humor and had nothing below the belt.
Crosby is such a respectable name in the ice hockey world, for he has won the Stanley Cup thrice already. He has also represented the national team of Canada in the past and has bagged gold medals for the country.
Getting Back At Her Ex The Best Way Possible
No one wants to be cheated on. But if you are one who experienced this, then you would know the feeling of wanting to get some revenge on your ex. This girl with the sign above was probably still with her ex-boyfriend when she bought tickets to that game.
Because of his cheating, he was no longer welcome to watch the game with her and had to just watch from his couch. This girl wanted to broadcast what happened to the world, and it caught the attention of many. Let's hope the guy learns from his mistakes.
Setting The Record Straight
Boise State University is a school in Idaho that has a lot of bashers saying that their school's name shouldn't be like that since Boise is a city and not a state. Students from the school are probably so tired of people saying the same old insults, so he decided to set the record straight through his sign.
He really nailed it, and he said nothing but facts. His efforts weren't put to waste because a photo of him holding the sign up was taken and has spread throughout the internet. People should start getting more creative with their insults, or just stop insulting them completely.
Major Burn Award Goes To...
Rivalries between schools are something that has been around for ages, and supporters often give the team they're against some "friendly" insults. These two girls above wanted their support to be far from basic, and this is why they wanted to wear a Waldo costume.
They didn't stop there because the two signs they made were connected to their outfits and witty insult. They basically said that Waldo can be found, but the talent of the Colorado State University Rams is hard to find. Kudos to them for coming up with a major burn!
That One Thing Hunter Pence Can't Do
Hunter Pence's success allows him to buy any kind of luxury car he wanted. But if there was one thing he couldn't do with them, that would be parallel parking. This is something that fans loved talking about in their signs, but when they wrote it, they didn't know if it's 100% true.
Pence had an interview with the Dallas Morning News, and he was asked about the sign craze that has happened. He found it interesting and funny. When asked if he really can't parallel park, he confirmed that it was true. He would rather park farther away and just walk.
A Heartthrob In The Making
Adults aren't the only ones you will see holding up signs because kids have caught up on the trend as well. This adorable young boy wasn't spreading any hate at all, and he just wanted the world to know that he is a cheese fanatic.
He didn't get into detail with what kind of cheese, but let's just guess it was the basic kind. When he becomes old enough to drink alcohol, we're sure he would love to eat cheese with a glass of wine and cold cuts. He might even become an expert in making a charcuterie board.
Battle Of The Beards
When Hunter Pence's team goes against the Kansas City Royals, the Royals' supporters always love to make signs targeted at him. This guy above was able to think of a witty statement that involves his facial hair. Hunter always had a thick beard, but this guy definitely has a thicker one.
He hasn't given any comments about this guy's statement. But if ever he was looking to grow his beard, we're sure he really wished it was like the one that this guy has. He must treat sign-making as something serious because he really had his sign printed instead of just being a basic drawing on cardboard or paper.
Off The Market, Unless Tim Tebow Is Free
Many of the star athletes are undeniably good-looking, and this is why a lot of the audience members have a crush on them. These two women are clearly not ashamed of the crush they have on Tim Tebow. They even wanted to try their luck with him.
They are basically saying that they would break up with their boyfriend if ever he is actually open to start a love affair with them. Sadly, they had no luck whatsoever and Tebow is actually happily married to former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters.
He's 100% Done
The Cleveland Browns used to have a lot of wins during the '40s, '50s, and '60s. Unfortunately, the team lacked consistency and is not really doing great. They still have their fair share of supporters. However, this fan in the photo clearly can't handle the constant losses already.
It's impossible to get a smile out of this guy anymore. After all, he made an effort to watch the game despite the cold weather. His sign is somehow giving the impression that the team has been trying to get better for decades now. Yet, nothing is working for them.
Supporting The Angels Before Welcoming His Newborn Angel
Men will never be able to understand the hardships women go through during pregnancy. This is why guys should just make sure to offer any kind of help and support their partners may need. This guy above was excited to meet his child, but he also couldn't miss the game.
He probably thought that he can just watch the game since his partner's water is still intact. You can just imagine how much of a hassle it would be if his partner actually calls, and he gets stuck in traffic, making him miss the birth of their child. This guy can forget about winning the "father of the year" award.
