My dad has always rooted against the New York Yankees baseball team. Until well into my 20s, I thought the the symbol on the Yankees hats was some sort of evil Nazi sign. It wasn't until I focused on a Yankees hat someone was wearing during a 45-minute subway ride that I realized it was an "N" and a "Y"!
