Culture
Fans
All fans of the Chicago Firefighters are from Chicago. Once someone chooses to be a fan of the Chicago Firefighters, they are from that moment on from Chicago.[1] It is unknown if this changes should a fan no longer support the Chicago Firefighters, as no one has yet been foolish enough to try.
A popular fan common space is The Spot, a dog-friendly bar and grill where fans often meet to discuss games, be from Chicago, and get $3 Royal Crown Malort shots hosed down at you from behind the bar.
Fans are also frequently found congregating around The Blean, possibly due to its tourist-repelling properties, although those who return from the area often claim that they did not intend to visit it.
Chants
Common chants include "We Are From Chicago" and several variations of the popular slogan. It is also commonly shorted to "WAFC" and accompanied by the 🔥 emoji. Occasionally, it is a hashtag.
Fans will shout these chants together in unison as a show of solidarity for many events, including winning a game, gaining a point, or even personal achievements. It is considered a greeting, farewell, and motto all at once.
Examples of chants include:
- We Are From Chicago!
- WAFC
- Chicago Is Where We Are From
Sponsorships
The official drink of the Firefighters is Royal Crown Malort.
Rivalries
The Firefighters are intense rivals with fire; however, simultaneously, they love fire. This is known as the Firefighter's Paradox.
The Unlimited Tacos are a major rival team.
A rivalry between the Firefighters and the Hades Tigers erupted on 2:81 of the Discipline Era, when the Firefighters Unofficial Twitter tweeted: "We are from chicago"[2]. The Tigers Official Twitter responded "Um, so?"[3], a direct insult to the Firefighters' honor. Fans stated that the rivalry will continue until the Hades Tigers are eradicated completely until 2:90, when the Hades Tigers recanted[4], recognizing both the importance of Chicago, and the fact that the eternal struggle between the Firefighters and the endless blaze of Hades makes both stronger. The rivalry continues, but has become friendly, at least for now.
Traditions
During the playoffs, all Firefighters players grow out their fingernails and paint them with fire-inspired designs.
History
Pre-History
The Firefighters were once a team managed, owned, and coached by individuals.
Creation
During the Great Chicago Blaseball Fire, the original Fire House, players, and management were destroyed. After the Chicago firefighters arrived at the blaze and put it out, they stuck around and formed the Firefighters team as it is known today.
Branding
Colors
The official colors of the Firefighters are yellow, maroon (8D2A3C), Orange (FF960A) and white.
Player Numbers
Each player's number corresponds to the Chicago zip code they live in. Players all have their number tattooed on the knuckles of one hand and WAFC tattooed on the other hand.
Players who inherit a number are from the zip code corresponding to their inherited number. If they were not from that zip code, they are now.
Jerseys
The Firefighters have two jerseys, corresponding to home and away games.
The away jersey is plainer, patterned on a firefighter's uniform: Yellow and white reflective stripes on a tan background, with the logo in the middle and the burning heart on one sleeve.
The home jersey is more bold, with the tan background replaced with a raging fire, a constant reminder of the fire they love and rival so passionately.
Trivia
- The Firefighters have three outfield positions: Western, Lake, and State.
- Despite having a stadium full of fire escapes, the Firefighters have never let a fire escape.
