The Funniest Fan Signs At NFL Games

Being a football fan isn't just about passively watching games. It's about getting into the competitive spirit by crafting creative signs that motivate your team to win big. Each team has its own distinct fans, and all of those fans are creative in their own ways.

If you make a sign clever or funny enough, you could end up on national television (or on a website like this one). Keep reading to see some of the funniest fan signs in NFL history.

Hopefully, He Doesn't Take It Personally

Aaron Rodgers is very handsome, but we're not sure that he's ready to just up and marry any Green Bay Packers fan who makes a sign for him. Still, this girl shot her shot, and it landed her on the internet (which is not nothing).

We're pretty sure that the man standing next to this woman (who she's pretending not ot know) is actually her husband. How do you think he feels about this quirky and creative fan sign?

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

If you think this guy is stupid because he's not wearing a shirt is very cold winter weather, then you'd be correct. That's a fair assessment. He's saying that being a Raider's fan is even stupider than catching a cold for the sake of a pun. Well played.

Being a Raiders fan will have you stereotyped and prejudged like no other. Good luck at the next family event, guy. Hopefully, his brother doesn't watch Packers games.

A Pun And Partial Nudity

Get it? "You gotta 'bikini me'" sounds like "you gotta be kidding me." Is it a clever pun, an excuse to wear skimpy swimwear, or both? It does look pretty cold in that arena. Everybody else is wearing coats and winter hats. Those girls are probably freezing.

This is what real fandom looks like. Standing out in the cold, half-dressed, holding up bristol board signs, and cheering on your favorite team. Fandom takes many forms.

Going to a football game as a fan seems like a great idea in the summer. The sun is shining, the air is warm, everything is bright and happy. Then the winter comes around and you're shivering in your boots wondering why you bought those season tickets in the first place.

A true fan always goes to the games, witty sign in hand, come rain, sleet, wind, ice, or snow. Get your gloves and earmuffs ready!

The Washington Redskins had their moment in the sun. The 1980s were good to them. This fan remembers. He's just worried that all of the kids in the crowd are going to give up on his favorite team.

ADVERTISEMENT

Sure, the Washington Redskins had their moments in the past, but they are not all that great at the present time. The best thing fans can do is dwell in the past and hope they return to prominence soon. Hopefully, a healthy Adrian Peterson can help with that.

No Cheaters Allowed

Back to more Patriot slander! NFL fans who aren't New England Patriots fans love calling the Patriots cheaters. And whether or not you believe it to be true, the debate is still up in the air.

ADVERTISEMENT

They've been in plenty of sticky situations over the past decade, and it just makes their case for being a non-cheating team worse. Just when you think they're playing fair, another gate opens and leaves them and their fans fighting off all the backlash like this sign here.

This Eagles fan is clearly fed up with his team's losing streak Granted, this is most likely before they won their most recent Super Bowl over the Patriots, so that would make this sign more relevant.

ADVERTISEMENT

When your team is doing poorly, it feels like someone is tugging at your heart. It makes you act out of character as well, so this admission to Santa makes total sense. Hopefully, the rest of the Eagles didn't get coal under their trees.

If you don't recall Brett Farve's past promiscuous activity, allow us to refresh your memory. When Farve played for the New York Jets, he was caught texting a member of the Jets media crew some pretty explicit messages.

ADVERTISEMENT

Farve sent inappropriate messages to columnist Jenn Sterger that included a picture of his private area. These ladies above capitalized on his misfortune and made the perfect distracting sign. We're sure that if he saw it, his game was altered a bit.

When Panthers Become Kitties

The Carolina Panthers are a respected franchise in the NFL. Behind superstar quarterback Cam Newton, they should have plenty of great years ahead of them. They aren't pushovers in the slightest, but this fan begs to differ.

Say hello to the Carolina Kittys. With Cam Newton at the helm, they should still be a solid team, don't you think? These Eagles fans are getting pretty personal with this one. Calling a panther a kitty is a low blow if you ask us.

This is the type of kid that every other kid should aspire to be like. He still looks relatively young, but he has some maturity to him. Still believing in Santa at an older age has a certain level of innocence attached to it and all kids should remain innocent for as long as they can.

ADVERTISEMENT

As for the Lions part, this kid is as delusional as they come. There's no telling when the team will be great again, but we don't think it's anytime soon. He has a better chance of riding Santa's sleigh than to witness the Lions becoming a force again.

Once you reach a certain level of education, then it's pretty much common knowledge that everyone knows how much of the Earth is covered in water. This young boy knows the fraction, but he also throws in an interesting fact that people other than Raider fans wouldn't know.

ADVERTISEMENT

Charles Woodson is one of the better defensive backs the sport of football has seen. He's known for his stingy coverage and the ability to cover pretty much anyone. That's what makes this sign that much more clever. Do you see what he did there?

Losing Faith And Switching Sides

You know things are bad when you concede that your team is terrible through a poster. We are talking about the Browns here, though. We give this guy a free pass for that because the Browns haven't been good at football in over four decades.

He thought the refs changing would help, but boy was he wrong. He figured his best chance at football bliss was switching teams -- even if they are a rival team. We wish him well.

Using Trump To Their Advantage

You know how Trump preached "Make America Great Again," well, that's still up for debate, but maybe the Dolphins can still turn things around. They aren't the worse team in the NFL, but a little motivation never killed a team.

ADVERTISEMENT

Sometimes it's more about the message then who is delivering it. When it's a fathead of Trump at a football game, you can only look at it and laugh. In some cases, it could have angered some players, triggering them to play better.

When a boyfriend messes up and forces their girl to break up with him, the spite that follows is almost unbearable. You never know what she is going to do or what she's capable of. This is a perfect example of spite on full blast.

ADVERTISEMENT

What if her past boyfriend was a huge Green Bay fan? And here she is with a sign, spitting in his face practically. We're sure he deserved it, but if turned on the game and saw this, he might start crying in his seat. That's what makes this sign so funny.

Not Very Optimistic

We're not sure if this is a sign or a true cry for help. Depending on who your team is, this could be your reality too. And at times, it could be a plea for help, while other times you could just be attempting to motivate your team if they so happen to see you holding that up.

ADVERTISEMENT

Whatever the case may be, we recognize that your team isn't too great. This looks like a Washington fan, and if the sign we held up earlier is any indication, they are all still living in the past.

Do you think this woman actually wanted to spend her honeymoon wearing a giant cheese hat and cheering on the Green Bay Packers? We think a trip to Hawaii sounds lovely, but if you want to spend your early days of wedded bliss surrounded by sweaty, screaming fans, well that's your prerogative.

Maybe she made his friends wear pink ties at the wedding, so this is her payback. Whatever their arrangement is, we wish them many happy years of marriage.

Russell Wilson is #3, and he's pretty good at what he does. In fact, he's played better than most have at his age and he's done more too. However, would a savior throw a game-losing interception in the Super Bowl? We think not. This fan sign is blasphemy at best, but that's what makes it hilarious.

ADVERTISEMENT

As we said, Wilson is quite a special talent. But you can't go comparing him to the Christian and Catholic Lord and Savior. Something about this sign makes us think that this fan really believes in this statement.

Some people like to make signs that poke fun at opposing players, similar to the Brett Farve one you witnessed a few slides back and the others you will see soon. Meanwhile, some people make signs that might act as a message to someone who is viewing at home, such as "Linda, will you marry me?"

ADVERTISEMENT

Then you have the real jokesters like these two. Unless they aren't from Seattle and it's their first time there, then they should be familiar with the weather. Letting others know you can't feel your face is the perfect sign for when the TV camera pans by and sees you with everything covered. Classic.

This sign was held up just days before the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl. It's no secret that every fan becomes a bundle of optimism when their team reaches the big game. Prediction always favors their side no matter who they're playing.

As it turns out, this fan was more than correct. Throwing in the Punxsutawney Phil groundhog pun was a lovely ribbon on top as well. It fit perfectly for the sign and might make you do a double take if you don't get it right away.

Tom Brady has become the G.O.A.T. (or greatest of all time) of the NFL. These eagle fans aren't so keen on Brady's new star status, though. That's' why they made this sign that says "Goat, it's what's for dinner."

ADVERTISEMENT

That means these Eagle fans are looking to cook up Brady. Now that's a creative spin on a tried and true saying. Brady better watch out if he doesn't want to become a steaming bowl of goat stew.

Back on the topic of Tom Brady and Deflate-Gate, these fans made the perfect trash-talking sign. As it goes, Brady had nothing to do with the deflated balls, but he just so happened to break his phone when it was needed for evidence.

ADVERTISEMENT

These guys capitalized on that situation and made a sign worth its weight in gold. We hope Brady, or at least someone on his team, saw this poster. That would have made it ten times better.

Passionate About Their Hiring Choices

A record of 3-1 is a pretty good record to start your season off with. Some teams are unlucky and begin 0-4 or 1-3. For the Rams to begin with only one loss, this fan is getting a little pushy to still want the head coach fired.

ADVERTISEMENT

Nonetheless, it's still a funny picture to see. It's also very polarizing. Some might want Jeff Fisher around still, and some might feel like this kid. A war is bound to start in those stands.

We touched on it earlier, but Raider fans might receive the most trash talk out of all the NFL teams in the league. The hate is so real for them that these Denver Broncos fans took the time and wrote a well thought-out joke to go on their sign.

Now, we know the Raiders haven't won anything in some time, so to call them the biggest losers is quite funny. This guy's face is very stern while holding the sign up too, which makes you believe him even more.

Who's The Goat Now?

Look, we've already established that Tom Brady is the G.O.A.T. That means that Patriots fans get to call him the goat on all of their fan signs. Some people like to use the term "Goat" for players who aren't even close to being the greatest of all time.

ADVERTISEMENT

When Brady was dealing with Deflate-Gate and his suspension, Patriot fans were livid. Their GOAT wasn't playing, so they needed someone to blame. The blame fell on Roger Goodell, or "Roger The Joke."

Fans of the Steelers and Saved by the Bell will be sure to love this sign. This guy is praising Steelers running back James Conner during a September 2018 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, when he filled in for Le'Veon Bell (out on a contract dispute).

ADVERTISEMENT

We're sure Conner appreciated the sentiment as he's had a rough couple of years. First he tore his ACL and then found out he had Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He played 14 games with the Steelers during the 2017 season before getting injured again. He came back in 2018 and scored two touchdowns and 192 total yards in the team's game against the Chiefs.

These requests aren't that crazy when you look at it. The Packers have done all of these tasks within the past nine years. The interesting part is seeing these women in bikinis in the cold of Wisconsin. They must have some pretty thick skin.

At first, this guy looks like Kevin from The Office. It isn't him. It's just a random fan who demands justice for his football club. He wants a new GM so badly that he spelled it out in such a way that would catch ESPN's attention.

Ever since Tom Brady missed games due to his suspension and the Patriots were forced to use backup Jimmy Garoppolo, there's been a new heartthrob in the NFL. This sign has all the proof you need to see. Not even the words could finish the sentence.

Maybe all this love got to his head and that's why he ended up getting traded from the Patriots. Seeing this sign while you're trying to complete a pass might be a little distracting.

This is one way to catch the attention of the best defensive player in the NFL. Its good that she started off by telling him she was sweet because J.J. Watt is a sweet guy too. Being single is a plus.

A perk of the NFL is that if your team has the worst record at the end of the season, then your team gets the first draft pick. Some teams have been known to lose on purpose so they can secure the top draft spot.
