United love 11.5% hate 12% City love 11.5% hate 11% so some may not support a team in Hamilton if it has the wrong name? not much difference from other team forums where people love/hate FC, City, United and hate natural disasters and animal names/mascots. time for 'Hamilton Grundy' which most people won't understand. Goes along with my other team names--other forums Winnipeg Guess Who for the rock band from that city Toronto Splunge from the Monty Python sketch. Mrs Grundy is a figurative name for an extremely conventional or priggish person,[1] a personification of the tyranny of conventional propriety. A tendency to be overly fearful of what the respectable might think is also referred to as Grundyism. Just because a name is disliked it doesn't mean it wouldn't be supported. I was one of the people who disliked united and city but if they were called united or city I would still support the crap out of them. Heck they could be called far worse than that and I'd still support them. It's just fun silly debate is all to keep us entertained until we hear the official name.

I was personally kind of shocked they'd produced a video where the supporter would openly denounce a popular name option. Good on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hamilton City was a pretty long standing entry in the NSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackTheBlizzard Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The name was most recently used by a CSL (latter day match fixing version) team, but I think they folded a few months ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_City_Soccer_Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on them. not overly surprised. he's explained to me a few times that steel makes people think of the past and that it's a dying industry. they are leaning much more towards the "ambitious city" moniker - hence "city" does not surprise me whatsoever. I can sorta see the case for both. If it's steelers, you can always phase in the second meaning of the word "steel" - as in to steel oneself for difficult situations to come.

I don't buy into the Steelers = Hamilton is still a steeltown argument. Ottawa isn't a Lumber town anymore but the Lumberjack/Buzzsaw branding of the RedBlacks is working out just fine for them, but James in classy fashion, fully says I'm not speaking for the Battalion as a whole. I just want to avoid United at all costs. It's not a team that has merged, it's lame to try to piggyback on the Tiger-Cats history if that is the intent and despite how absurd it is, amalgamation still ticks people off around the city.

I'll support this team no matter what they're called...well, within reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
