bandwagon fans
Success-following supporters only
Bandwagon fans are sports enthusiasts who support whichever team is currently winning or popular, abandoning previous allegiances when fortunes change.
The term is dismissive, implying fair-weather loyalty rather than true devotion: Half these bandwagon fans couldn't name a player from last year's roster.
The bandwagon is an imaginary vehicle everyone jumps on when a team gets hot.
