Identifying someone's favorite sports team can be pretty easy. That is, if they're really a fan. The more committed the fan, the more evidence of their loyalty. Team colors proudly displayed throughout the home, on their vehicles, and perhaps a closet full of t-shirts, jerseys, hats, and various accessories. When it's game day, there's no question whose side they're on. But wearing a jersey doesn't put you on the team.
