Uhm, there is so much inacuracy in this post. There is no shifting of fans between the hockey teams. The only thing any have in common is Isles and Devils fans hate the Rangers. If the Isles were playing the Rangers, the Devils fans are rooting for the Isles. Nets, "almost always"? Should be "always" They are the worst supported team of the 4 sports in the area and when it comes to basketball, NY is a VERY fair-weather town. When the Knicks are good, they are by far the hottest ticket in town. When they are bad? You will see more out of town stuff being worn. Nowadays, I see more Lebron and Curry jerseys than I do Knicks jerseys. I see more people wearing Cavs (still, haven't seen much Lakers stuff yet, and Warriors stuff than Knicks stuff). Mets have not always played 2nd fiddle to the Yankees. The Mets were more popular and had more fans until the mid-90s. This was considered a National League town for years as when the Mets first started, most of the old Giants and Dodgers fans became Mets fans. Both NFL teams are supported. The Jets ticket situation has been a disaster due to the prices, but there are still more than enough fans for both teams.
