We’re only in the first season of the NSFL, so there aren’t a lot of traditions yet. There is one that has started in Colorado, but hopefully it doesn’t continue. When the team was looking for a sound to play when the Yeti had a big play or a scored, they tried a few things. One of those is the sound a yeti makes. Unfortunately, no one knows what a yeti sounds like, so they just used a recording of the wookie noise that Chewbacca makes, whatever you want to call it. A roar, I guess? It wasn’t supposed to catch on, but for some reason, the fans latched on to it. They started to make their own wookie noises along with the sound as it was played in the stadium. It’s a really awful sound to hear thousands of people all making their own terrible renditions of a wookie noise. All the players hate it, even the Colorado players. It’s that bad. Hopefully, the fans will realize how obnoxious this is, and stop doing after this season. Then they can come up with a better tradition that the team can be proud of, and will last a long time. Until then, don’t forget your earplugs if you’re coming to a game in Denver.

A fan tradition of Yellowknife that has previously been mentioned is that of the ritual sacrifice mentioned in regards to the Yellowknife mascot. Here we will discuss it in a bit more detail. It starts at the beginning of the season, a list of the most fanatic supporters is generated from the major fan groups and is passed on to the team. The team then picks an appropriate amount of fans (one per home game) and backups and properly vets them before the next stage.
During the final practice day before the game, a name is chosen from the list and is brought in to be fitted for the ceremonial robes and hood. They are given a crash course on Yellowknife Wraith history from the team's creation in 2017 through the heartbreaking conference championship loss through the present day. They then go through a practice run, and join the team afterward for the final session of the day. Game day comes and the sacrifice is prepared, there is alot of dancing and chanting, and before kickoff, the ceremonial dagger comes out, the supporter is sacrificed and is raised up as an actual ghostly Wraith, his body joining the others who have come before and sent under the stadium. While odd, it is hard to argue results, as the Wraiths 6-1 home record shows that something is going right up in Yellowknife.

The Colorado Yeti fans are known as some of the best fans in the NSFL. The team has a very special section in the crowd for the most hardcore. The section has become the Pseudo-leaders for their whole fandom. They love their home team and will show to players who are giving their all on the field. One example of this is the running competition between the fans. It is well known that Johnathon Saint loves his wings, so fans started bringing him homemade wings every game day and then he can decide which fan makes the best wing. Whoever makes the best wings is allowed to run through the tunnel and sit on the sidelines for the next game. That is only one of the few rituals the Yeti proud partakes in. Another ritual happens on game day if the Yeti wins. The ritual started in the Yeti’s last preseason win. No one knows who exactly started it but it caught on like wildfire. After the win, it was rumored that the fan poured honey and flour all over themselves and started making sounds that they think a Yeti would make. Eventually, everybody started bringing honey and powdered sugar to home games with hope that the Yeti win and pour it all over themselves. It became a part of the Yeti culture as they now have kiosks in the stadium that hands out honey and powdered sugar to the fans for free.

A tradition that the Otters fans have started could be viewed as cruel by some. There's an area in the South End Zone where the number of interceptions thrown by QB Mike Boss is tallied up. This craze started after he was initially benched in Week 2 of the Preseason. The fans didn't appreciate his poor play and they wanted him to know about it. Each time one of Boss's throws ended up in the hands of an opposing player, the fans would glue a gleeful picture of Tony Danza and the words "Who's the Boss?"in a mocking tone to the wall in the end zone.

"You can't blame these fans, I'm not happy with my performance either. I wish I could stop throwing interceptions, but it's just something I need to work through. I'm hoping that my visceral hatred for Tony Danza could help propel me to the next level. If there's one thing I despise, it's people claiming to be a Boss without the paperwork. Yeah, same goes to you Bruce Springsteen and Rick Ross."
The situation took a turn and became utterly uncomfortable when the fans ran out of room for the Danza Heads and had to start a second column underneath the first.

The San Jose Sabercats team fans are pretty passionate people despite of the 4-10 record. It's good to see they are still believing in this team no matter what happens. Also, they are trying to make some creative things during the game, like chants. Some of them are directed at the Sabercats' free safety Clee Hardrool. His last name allowed fans to create two chants: if Clee makes a successful play (tackle, INT, e.t.c.), the whole San Jose hears SPIT! SPIT! SPIT! words; or if his performance is poor, the fans are repeatedly singing Spit on yourseeeeelf!.
We also remember one funny moment that happened during one home game. One person already mentioned that fans were showing up with the paper bag on their heads. One of them went a little further: he decided to add an interesting text to his bag that sounded like While you're learning to play, other teams are drooling over your losses. That was another shot directed at Hardrool who had a mediocre season in overall.
But no matter how much L's San Jose was taking, the fans didn't turn their back to the Sabercats. They are hoping for a more successful S2 and perhaps we will see more chants and other stuffs, this time more positive in case if this team will perform better.

The Outlaws fan base is one of the more rabid ones in the league. They fit the team mentality and the mascot perfectly. They're kinda like the old NFL Seahawks, undoubtably some of the best in the league, but pretty much hated by any other team.
One chant they have is legendary. After Boss' infamous 6 interception game, the Orange County Otters players and staff (except for Bercovici, of course) all took to the media saying it was just a fluke. Eventual GM Shaka said how Boss' bad performance was nothing more than a "sim anomaly". well, Arizona fans remembered that, because after Boss was tackled for a safety less than a minute into the second quarter, right after the true DPotY Isaiah Rashad picked off his pass late in the first, you could here loud chants of "SIM A-NO-MA-LY" *dun dun dun-dun-dun*. This clearly got into Boss' head, as he threw for 3 more interceptions. In the playoffs, they also had a clear effect, as Boss broke down in the final 3 minutes after hearing the chants one more time.
The moral of this story? Dont mess with the Outlaws, or else you'll have to deal with the wrath of the best 12th man in the business!

You win the thread. You should post this in media for more exposure.
