Your NFL Team Is Gone, What Team Do You Root For Now?

Ok, the team you have rooted for your whole life or at least most of your life is gone for reasons unknown and all you do know is that your beloved team isn't coming back, what do you do now???

What team are you going to poor your heart into now? Is it a winner right now, a losing team but you don't care because you just know they will eventually win a Super Bowl or is it a team that you thought about for a long time but couldn't root for em because your original team was a rival....tell us, the GIF membership, WHO YOU GONNA ROOT FOR NOW???

For me??? It's the Saints, I remember when I was younger I loved and actually still do love the Fleur de lis you know this~~~> I liked everything about the team, the colors, the city, the excitement just everything. I loved their defense as well...I've never been a Archie Manning fan though...

 

Went thru this in reality, in fact. Cheered for the Packers after the league stole my Browns.

If it happened again, I would probably kill myself. Or root for the Saints.

 

Would have to be the Chiefs. Became a semi fan the year Montana and Allen joined the team. Plus who didn't love Marty ball. But could also lean towards the Ravens and Panthers seeing I live in VA. Hell if the Cowboys don't get their crap together who knows it might actually happen.

 

I would choose not to have a single team but instead just follow the league as a whole :)

 

probably pull for the panthers since it is the closest team to me.

 

Root for the Texans for the same reason.

 

Disregard last post, changed my mind.

Washington Bravehearts FTW

 

I would probably become a Ravens fan no real reason.

 

You figured it out! Let's call Snyder. GIF Markaz FTW!!!!!:icon_cheesygrin:

 

i hope they don't change their names,but if the skins do i would rather it be the washington generals,with george washington on the helment.

 

Back in the late 80s, early 90s was when I remember just beginning to really get into football. Living in Virginia, I remember quite a few of my family members (uncles and cousins, not immediate family) rooting for the Redskins so they were who I was first exposed to.
Around that same time we moved to Frankfurt, Germany because my dad was in the Army. And once over there I really took to the 49ers and the Bills. I thought they were both really exciting to watch. 49ers were my favorite and continued to be so ever since, even through all the rough times.
If they moved cities, I'd still hold them as my favorite. If they ceased to exist, I'd just be a fan of the game and certain players. Couldn't see myself rooting for another franchise like I have rooted for SF all these years.

 

Whichever team Brett Favre finally signs with...

 

Ditto, you said it perfectly.

I actually became a 49ers fan because another team moved. When I was 2-3 years old we lived in Hayward, and all the "big" kids on the block were all about the Raiders and A's, so naturally I was too. Then the Raiders moved to LA, which was akin to treason in the eyes of East Bay kids, so everyone started rooting for the 49ers. 30+ years later, I could never actually invest myself into another team like I have the Niners. I'd probably follow the Raiders casually (Bay up!!) but really just be a fan of the game overall.

 

I'm from the Pacific Northwest originally so I would probably root for the Seahawks. I am kinda a closet fan anyways.

 

I'd go to the bears for sure. I already follow them so it would be a smooth transition. Although losing the pats would freaking suck.

 

Seeing as Barry Sanders made me a Lions fan back in the 80's, I would have to say them. I almost had to follow a different team. Thank God I didn't have to.
