Fandom Trading Cards
·Behavioral Research

·Card Layout
A typology of sports fandom body language presented through trading cards. These cards capture the energy and emotion of fans, showcasing them in their most expressive moments. Like traditional trading cards, they emphasize action, peak intensity, and shared experiences within sports culture.
The project began with an archival study of fan imagery, leading to a classification of sixteen distinct emotional body language expressions. To further reinforce the sports theme, these emotions were translated into everyday sports slang, creating a seamless connection between fan expression and the language of the game.
