Not all sports fans have a clear idea of what they want to write on the sign they bring to the game. Not all of us have the time to do it right or are born copyrighters. That doesn’t mean the sentiment isn’t there. Sometimes, however, the best thing to write comes to you at the very last minute.
This woman now knows all about the power of last-minute thinking. In an effort to make a sign for her favorite team, the Blue Jays, she came up with what was probably the funniest sign in the game. When you think about it, a sign that reads “I made a sign!” could work for pretty much any sports event out there. We might end up using it ourselves someday.
Forget Daddy's Little Girl
Fathers and daughters have that kind of relationship you can't find anywhere else. But it seems that for this daughter, there are some things more important than her dad. One such thing is getting her favorite player to bat for his team. This sign holder is a Red Sox fan who wanted everyone to know where her allegiance lies.
And as if trading your father for a bat wasn't enough, this girl chose the unfortunate timing of Father's Day to hold up her sign. We're sure that it was all done in good humor and that the father was in on the joke the whole time. He might even be taking a selfie with his daughter's sign in this picture!
Think of the Children
Sports fan dads have but one wish — to raise their children to be fans of their favorite team. Children who refuse to root for the same team as their fathers' should that they risk being disowned. This father has obviously made a deal with his potentially rogue son who is cheering for another team.
This Angels fan obviously holds his favorite team close to his heart, and the thought of his son betraying the family values and becoming a Cowboys fan is more than he can bear. His sign urges Mike Trout, the Angles outfielder, to help him support his very important cause. We hope it worked!
Who Are You, Strange Sir
This photo, taken in 2014, during a World Cup Match between Brazil and Germany, sure did give us a lot of unanswered questions. This man is wearing a Brazil jersey, he looks to be more Middle-Eastern, and his sign dons the most American writing you could imagine.
Is his wife really giving birth? And if she did, is this the way she's gonna find out? From a hospital bed? He may not have a home to come back to after this one. Not to mention he's wearing the wrong jersey in this game, as Brazil did not do too well against Germany in 2014.
Long Live the Chief
The Cleaveland Indians surprised everyone (even their fans) when they made a turn to the World Series in 2016. The fans were fueled with creativity and created some incredible signs to cheer their team on. Sure, the Indians ended up losing to the Cubs, but they still have their fans' signs as a happy memory from the event.
The sign in the picture depicts Chief Wahoo, which used to be the team's mascot. There were hundreds of signs just like this one but with different captions splayed across his chest. The mascot is a little controversial, but his popping biceps used to be the fans' pride and joy.
