A Vikings Fan's Van

When I see these cars roll down the streets day-after-day during football season, I have to giggle. I used to have one--for the Green Bay Packers, but it routinely got ripped away by true-blue Vikings "fans" here in MN. Once a Packer fan, always a Packer fan.

  1. Je suis plustot pour les Giants de New york (bien que cette année, le debut de saison ne soit pas terrible).

  2. Were you broken hearted at the last game? Are you looking forward anyway to the next? Those ups and downs are all part of fandom, aren't they!

    Having lived in Wisconsin before, I too became a Packer fan. I never got too rabid, never wore a cheesehead, never painted myself green or gold or sat in the stands without a shirt on (of course) but I liked them and the whole idea of a community owned team.

  3. You mean the Packers, of course,--right? We are a divided household: DH and offspring are Vikings fans (including my grandson!), but I maintain my loyalty. I've been a home-grown fan for years and have been through this before, but the Pack will be back! I'm not as rabid as dressing up in any regalia, but I am a firm, loyal, and devoted fan. How else if one grows up in Green Bay??!!

  4. Oh MY GOODNESS! That is a ton of flags! Very true about the GB thing...I use to work with a lady who was a cheese head. I think since we have only had the Colts as of 1984 many people were fans of other teams and have stayed loyal.

  6. Since this isn't a community with many private cars, we mever see this sort of thing. Do the flags represent more than one team, or are they all for the same team?

  8. taking a second look at this photo, I just realized that there are stuff animals sitting in the vehicle with Vikings jerseys on. For the record, I've never owned one of those vehicle flags. Whomever owns this vehicle is making up for my lack of ownership.

  9. Oops, yes, I was referring to the Packers when I asked if you were sad. And yes, I agree, the Pack will be back!
