At FANCHEST, we’re big sports fans, and if you’re reading this, odds are you are too.

Tuesday, May 1st marks National Loyalty Day in America, and since loyalty is so embedded in the lifeblood of sports fandom, we’re doing a little something special today in honor of that.

Loyalty, according to Webster’s dictionary, is defined as the state of being true and constant in support of someone or something.

Loyalty can take many forms, but in sports it’s most synonymous with fans who steadfastly support their teams in the face of a long-standing history of futility and losing.

Despite a number of insanely long championship droughts that have come to an end in recent years (Chicago Cubs in 2016, Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, Washington Capitals in 2018 – just to name a few), there are still a chunk of teams that haven’t rewarded their fanbase with a championship since the baby boomer generation.

Here’s a list of the 11 longest championship droughts in North America as of 2019:

RankTeamLeagueLast ChampionshipDrought
1Arizona CardinalsNFL194771 years
2Cleveland IndiansMLB194870 years
3Sacramento KingsNBA195167 years
4Detroit LionsNFL195761 years

8Los Angeles ChargersNFL196355 years
t-9Minnesota VikingsNFLNever53 years

t-9Buffalo BillsNFL196553 years

Losing stinks, but only one team can be named champion each year per league. So, it’s never fair or realistic to expect your favorite team to come away with championship trophies at any rate of consistency; although Golden State Warriors and New England Patriots fans may beg to differ…

It is fair, however, to expect your favorite team to win at least one championship trophy over the course of your lifespan, though, right…?

Well, that isn’t always the case; a stark reality that is tough to grapple with for passionate fans of teams listed above. Heck, even a quarter-century’s-worth of time qualifies as a pretty lengthy and legit championship drought, at least in our eyes at FANCHEST.

But on National Loyalty Day, it pays to be a fan of the losers, for once…

On this National Loyalty Day only, we’ll be offering a 20% discount off the FANCHEST of any team that has gone at least 25 years since winning their last NHL or NFL championship trophy.
