AI Visualizes the “Average” NFL Playoffs Fan

With the conference championship games upon us, AI has delved into the world of the NFL, imagining the “average” fans of each remaining playoff team. Online gaming site FlashPicks used the AI art program MidJourney to envision the “typical” fan for each of the eight teams still competing for the Super Bowl, providing a unique take on NFL culture within each team.

Baltimore Ravens

Next up are the Baltimore Ravens, and the AI-generated fan sports the traditional black and purples of the Ravens on both his coat, as well as the prominent full-face paint. The envisioned “fan” has a strong, piercing gaze and seems to even have a slight frown, heavily concentrating on something just out of shot. The fan also has thick, grey dreadlocks running down over his chest.

Kansas City Chiefs

The AI-generated fan of the Chiefs is envisioned as a passionate – almost animated – fan, either caught shouting in disbelief or proudly cheering the Chiefs on. The fan sports a traditional Native American headdress in the red and yellow of the chiefs, complimented by decorated, muddy blonde dreadlocks and a short grey beard. The face paint of this fan also stands out, with simple, yet intimidating red paint under the eyes and down the bridge of the nose. 

San Francisco 49ers

In this image depicting a “typical” San Francisco 49ers fan, we see a man with long, wispy silver hair seated at a wooden table. He is wearing a red cap adorned with the 49ers logo and sunglasses and has a short, trimmed beard, slightly greying at the bottom but a big, silver mustache. The fan’s coat looks to be heavy-duty red and black leather, with symbols up the sleeves.

Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions are next up, and this fan is quite obviously a Detroit Lions fan. Wearing a blue hoodie and felt scarf, this fan also has an eye-catching lion hat with a thick, shaggy grey mane and lion’s face front and center. The fan has a huge, grey beard with a styled mustache – almost as if imitating a lion. Concentrating on something just above the shot, this fan has a stern, almost unhappy expression.


A spokesperson for FlashPicks commented on the images, saying:

“The study’s AI-generated visualizations reveal a rich tapestry of diverse characteristics among various NFL team fans. Each team’s fan showcases a unique blend of preferences, reflecting a colorful spectrum of fan engagement and cultural influences. The findings show some interesting themes – from the AI’s point of view, a typical fan of an NFL team is always a man, probably in the older age bracket, and more often than not has significant facial hair. The images consistently show subjects who are unsmiling, which is probably quite accurate – after all, only one team can win the Super Bowl, so the majority of NFL fans are likely to be disgruntled in some way.”
