Would you get a tattoo of your team if you were a DIE HARD fan?

If I get the Cleveland 'C' logo tatted, to me it would be:

representing my city =/= representing the team I cheer for.

This. Some of my friends from undergrad have Longhorn tattoos on their calves and shoulders, but we all went to UT. I loved FSU football and Duke basketball as a kid, but I would never consider taking it there. It's doing too much, and I would get tired of people asking if I went to Duke, then having to awkwardly say something like, "No, but I've been a fan since the Grant Hill/Bobby Hurley days."

No, but that is because the majority of them are tacky as $%!@.

I'll be lying if I said I haven't thought about an "LA" tat, but it's more than a Dodger logo now.

But the fact that you are seriously considering this probably means that you are so emotionally invested in the team that you'd be a different person if you stopped being such a die-hard fan. Duke's basketball team is a part of your psyche.

So really, you might as well get the tattoo and just embrace who you are fully, because it seems that you're so deep into supporting the team that any rational conversation about the possible detrimental effects of supporting a sports team/corporation to this extent will likely be lost on you.
And IMO people getting the NY logo tat is way different. Most are doing it to represent the city more than they are doing it to represent the ballclub. Maybe I'm wrong about that but it always seemed to me to be more about repping where you grew up.
