Now, I'm not sure if "The Ozone" has any slang meaning on the Left Coast but in East End Winnipeg, uhmmmm....<edited by mod> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillium Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 quote:Originally posted by themodelcitizen acceptable nickname? [8D] I hate it ..but your right a nick name would be good...of course i hate the use of Canucks or the Maple Leaves which seems to pop up in the FIFA stories, the Voyageurs is gone but it might have made a good nick name. What is left ? The Beavers ? To go along with the fans "Ozone" and they could sell beaver shots in the stadium. Hopefully as we go ahead in qualifications a nick name will emerge on its own, created by some late night editor at the Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I like the use of Canucks. Costa Ricans are called Ticos, we are the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soju Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 FIFA and the news write ups from other countries like to call us "The Maple Leaf Boys". Anything is better than team Canada that's the name of the hockey team. While we're at it I wish Craig and Gerry would stop referring to us as "The Canadian National Team" during their broadcasts. It sounds very bush league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnie Monster Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 quote:Originally posted by Cheeta Now, I'm not sure if "The Ozone" has any slang meaning on the Left Coast... A few years back there was a rather skeezy nightclub in Surrey BC called "The Ozone" which had a strip club next door. Now, if you know anything about Surrey's shady rep, or rather that of so-called "Surrey girls", you'll probably understand why most people out here called it "the Ho-zone" or "the School Zone."

Califax Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 quote:Originally posted by dsqpr My favourite by far! We might also consider "Red and White Legion" to differentiate ourselves from the many "Reds" out there. Yeah i love these too, maybe "the Red Riot" for those who are alliteration happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tintin Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 ^ perfect. Les Rouges is much better than anything I came up with: The Lumberjacks, Hosers, Beer-swilling louts... Les Rouges gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think he's saying they should just call the team "Canada". As for nicknames, we're "Canucks" and "Maple Leafs" for foreign writers (including FIFA) and "Les Rouges" to the fans (in chants anyways). No need to try and fabricate another nickname.

Chet Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 We had this discussion a few years ago. My favourite suggestion then was "The Red Surge." For those who don't know, "Red Serge" is the name given to the formal red uniform worn by the mounties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe MacCarthy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I still don't know where that "Allez les rouges" stuff comes from. I think it sounds kinda goofy coming from a plurality of English speakers. Always liked "Red Surge" but Canucks and Maple Leafs are what we usually get. Edit: Forgot "Mounties" was in the mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
