Edmontonians aren't the only ones supporting the Oilers, as many celebrities have been spotted wearing the team's jersey and publicly announcing their support.

As far as hockey fan bases go, few are more dedicated and true-blue than the Edmonton Oilers faithful. Even during the prolonged "Decade of Darkness," Oilers home attendance consistently ranked near the league's top.
But here's a little-known secret: this devoted fan base contains some fairly famous celebrities. 'The Oil Rig' recently explored celebrities who have enthusiastically sported the Oilers' colors.
Within the NBA, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley, who are responsible for creating some of the most memorable moments in sports television, have expressed their Oilers affection.

Zach Hyman Mailed Shaquille O'Neal a Signed Jersey

Zach Hyman even mailed "Shaq" a signed jersey, while Charles Barkley publicly stated that Edmonton would win last season's Stanley Cup during the Final.
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson has also been seen showing up to games wearing a Connor McDavid jersey as he walks into his team's locker room.
Soccer star Alphonso Davies, who spent part of his childhood living in Edmonton, has witnessed firsthand the city's sports fever. Currently playing for Bayern Munich, he still finds time to attend Oilers playoff games when he can.
Rock fans might be surprised to learn that System of a Down guitarist Daron Malakian is an Oilers supporter, beyond also having loyalty to the Los Angeles Kings.
We can guess that he didn't mind too much when Edmonton defeated their Pacific Division rivals four years in a row.
And of course, there's also Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. Not only is the band's music blasting throughout Rogers Place, but Chad Kroeger once promised Oilers fans the Cup would come to Edmonton.
While that forecast hasn't exactly come true yet, his optimism, along with the Oilers' playoff streaks, hasn't faded.
From NBA stars to international soccer icons and rock stars, the Oilers' fan base clearly extends far beyond Alberta. With fans of this sort, including such famous ones as these, the Blue and Orange legion keeps multiplying.
