Do you follow/collect any teams historically that you don't follow now?

What I mean is this: Are there teams of the past that you particularly are a fan of that still exist, but you don't follow now? For me, I find myself gravitating towards the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams cards of the past. For whatever reason, I have a disproportionate number of cards of the greats of these teams. Many of my favorite retired players come from these teams. I love Bobby Bell, Len Dawson, Otis Taylor, Willie Lanier, Buck Buchanan, Johnny Robinson, Deacon Jones, Norm Van Brocklin, Bob Waterfield, Merlin Olsen, et al. more so than players for the other teams for the most part. I am a Saints fan. I don't really follow either the Chiefs or the Rams (even when they were in L.A.). Anybody else have a situation like this?

    I also like the Fort Wayne Kekiongas. They only lasted 1/2 of season in 1871.

    It's the place of my birth, give me a break (Fort Wayne Indiana).

    I use to like the Reds in the 70's [BIG RED MACHINE] but when Pete Rose and others left i just didn't care that much about the Reds.I'm a Phillies fan ever since Rose went there in 1980..I know alot of people were Houston Oilers fans only because of Earl Campbell, when he retired so did the fans.

    I used to be a Braves fan in the 80's and 90's, then lost interest. However, that spark has rekindled in the past couple of years. I don't follow the Giants like I used to now, more into the Braves & Nationals.
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    Da Bulls!!!

    Haven't really followed basketball since Jordan retired the second time, but I still love collecting some 80's & 90's Bulls cards
