Orangemen (and women)

[orangenauburn]

Any chance they will correct this now that there are new people in charge? Or is this a Nike contractual issue?

I think we cursed ourselves once we made the name change in the sake of PC and money.

Any chance they reverse the curse and bring back Orangemen (women)?

As long as you leave the space between "Orange" and "Men" go for it.

The change had nothing to do with political correctness. The university/Nike wanted one brand instead of two.

If that's the case they should have considered going with "Orange Homosapiens" to distinguish us from fruit... but then I suppose the name would get truncated to something far more controversial. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

If we had to change it, at least we didn't bastardize the name like St. John's did.

I know people love the "political correctness has gone too far" narrative, but it does not apply here.

Babers seems to like "Cuse man" (although he pronounces it kyooz man; someone ought to say something)

I, for one, prefer Person of Citrus.

What's wrong with that pronunciation? Are you implying "cooz man" is better?:noidea:

 

[Marsh01]

I have never acknowledged the orange nickname. Always orangemen

Haha. I say "kyoos" and not "kyooz" but maybe I'm alone. I actually think "kyooz" is a little too close to cooze.

When I was in school most students from Long Island pronounced it Seeri-kyoos.

To be fair, at the time there was only one brand. The lady orange were terrible. Selling gear they were not.

I prefer Orangemen. Sounds sinister like a secret society (bonesmen, kingsmen, etc.).

We need to start a poll to see who prefers kyooz or kyoos. I am confident I will win.

This lady prefers Orangemen!! And Orangewomen is fine also. And yes the Orangewomen are better, and need to be separated from the weaker men, lol!!!
