The proper amount of fandom in the offseason

So it's November and you are in the immediate wake of your favorite baseball team winning the World Series. What do you do? You freakin' celebrate, buy as much Phillies sh*t possible and rub it in the faces of every Met's fan that stumbled upon Rowan U! But when is the celebration and fandom become too much? I will give you a good guide to maintaining a proper amount of fandom but not going over board.

The first step my fellow Prof-ets is that you should go all out for about a month. After that you should turn your amps down from a 10 to maybe a 7. One good thing about baseball gear is that you can still wear a hat and it's just a subtle reminder that your team is awesome. T-shirts are also acceptable. Overdoing includes baseball jerseys from late December-early February and shoes to match the jersey. I have seen Met's fans with their orange and blue shoes and it's absolutely hilarious. Prof-ets, don't wear blue and red or I'll throw them over a powerline.

Now some great things to wear year-round include your typical fitted Phillies hat, either plain, alternate, 4th of July, or with the WS logo on the side. Even if it's cold, you can wear those goofy hats the J-Roll wore during the WS with the ear flap thing. Please don't wear those stupid ghetto hats you see in Lids. I mean come on. Knitted caps for the winter are probably a more logical choice if you don't want your ears to be cold but you still want people to know you're a fan.

I have seen many great shirts to celebrate the championship. One of my personal favorites is the variation of Chase Utley shirts with his famous quote. You can even wear the official shirt the players wore when they won. MLB.com has a bunch of great shirts and some smaller sites have more creative ones as well.

One thing I ask of you fans is to be relevant to celebrating your championship. After this season, if the Phillies are done defending their title, don't go walking around like the New York Giants fans every freaking day with their Super Bowl crap (or your this case, World Series). Have some class when flaunting your fandom..... except when it's to Met's fans. F*ck 'em I say.
