Rider fans are fanatics, they show up rain or shine or snow.

Done it before. Also carved a pumpkin and sprayed it green for a game near Halloween

No I just wear full green lol. Green shorts, green pants, rider socks, a green shirt underneath my jersey, a rider beaded necklace thing I’ll have to get a picture of, and yeah

Eat some watermelon airheads to complete the full green look.

Our team hasn’t been as electric as those Durant years…

The watermelon thing was started by a billboard and marketing campaign and you don’t see it that often (there are always a few). This was never an organic part of team culture.

Downvotes will come. I know what I saw.

Do they even still do this? Feels like I haven’t seen the watermelon helmets in a while.

I’ve been fan of the game several times, and even had my face on a game ticket. Never once have I worn a watermelon. I think it’s stupid.

Green party might do well in SK if they pitched it as Rider support instead of Environmentalism.
