Chicago Firefighters/Fan Culture
COMMUNITY REPORTSThe remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.
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] At this time, 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.
Sponsorships
The official drink of the Firefighters is Royal Crown Malort.
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
Official Fight Song - We Are From Chicago
We're all from Chicago
no matter where we are
We're all from Chicago
fires burning in our heart
Chicago lives inside us
whisp'ring secrets in our ear
And wherever Firefighters roam
they bring Chicago here!
(Chorus, call and response)
Where are you from?
CHICAAAAGO!
Where are you from?
CHICAAAAGO!
Where are you from?
CHICAAAAGO!
WE'LL MAKE YOU FROM CHICAAAAGO!
(Verse)
Fight, you war-ri-ors in red
Douse the fires 'cross the land
Battle on with valor
Till we make them understand
We're all from Chicago
In New York and in LA
We're all in Chicago
And we're all here to stay!
(Repeat Chorus)
