foam finger
Giant fan accessory
A foam finger is an oversized novelty hand made of soft foam, typically with one finger extended in a "number one" gesture.
Worn at sporting events to show team support, fans wave them to signal their team is the best: The crowd was a sea of foam fingers.
They're sold as cheap stadium merchandise and have become iconic symbols of American sports fandom.
