We should change our nickname

[Alsacs]

I know this is dead horse issue, but we are the Syracuse Orangeman and yet the following teams in the ACC wear more Orange.
1. Clemson wear Orange jerseys and helmets every home game.
2. Miami(Fl) have an Orange jersey in their rotation at home.
3. Virginia have an Orange jersey, orange pants, orange helmets as part of their home rotation.
4. Virginia Tech have an Orange jersey as part of their rotation.
5. Syracuse has Orange helmets as part of their rotation.

I think we should just change the nickname then honestly I wouldn't care what colors we wore since our nickname wouldn't be Orange.

What about the Syracuse Juveniles (a type of bug)? My five year old boy is into bugs right now which is the only reason I knew about these little guys. A mix of blue and orange along with a bit of grey. That way we have all of our bases covered.

Can we stop with the any discussion color-related already?

 

[Nicknack]

I don't know, as tired as I am with color related posts, I'm even more tired of reading about how bad our offense is along with our play calling.

I have no problem with you beating this horse into a bloody pulp. I find it interesting that some people that think we should stop talking about it keep clicking on the threads and commenting.

I've always wondered in these new conference configurations if in the end , if details, like conference team colors are discussed. The ACC as Alsacs pointed out has lots of orange in their team colors. I have asked this before but never got an answer, could the drastic color changes deemphasizing the orange have anything to do with the Clemson's, Virginia's etc of the ACC world having issue with the "Orange"? Seems crazy but the timing sure makes me wonder.

Wonder what color we'll wear Friday night?

The Syracuse Dead Horses. PETA may not like it, but it has a nice ring to it.

I use to laugh when some brought this up in the past, but now, I'm beginning to think it's true.

Guess I need to be fitted for my tinfoil cap soon.

I wonder if the Clemson, Miami, Virginia, and Virginia Tech fans are all moaning that they should be called "The Orange" since they wear so much orange. It would stand to reason.

How does this make even a lick of sense. Our nickname is ORANGE none of those teams are called the Orange. I know you don't like me or my posts, but if you want to take a shot at me pick something better than that.
If our nickname wasn't Orange I honestly wouldn't care what color we wear. However, when you choose to brand yourself as the Orange and your football program doesn't wear that color as the primary color that makes no sense.
If we were the Syracuse Warriors or Syracuse Eagles then the lack of Orange wouldn't matter.

 

[BlazeOrange]

Which do you want to change to?
The SU Jawfish?

Too orange - how about...


The SU Lizards

Better, but still a little orange-heavy.


The SU Edwards Wasp Moths

Now we're talking - a taste of orange and heavy on our primary colors of blue, gray, and white.

First, take a deep breath. I didn't take any cheap shots. We did wear orange ...Orange helmets and there was other orange. A lot of people liked the uniforms. I honestly don't give a rat's a** about how much orange we had on. It's about #99 on the current list of concerns I have about this team. And I didn't realize I didn't like you.

I vote this thread die a horrible death at the hands of Otto the Gosh-darned Orange.

Syracuse Whiteheads ala the Md game. Now that, my friends, was Fugly.

If the KKK has a football team that is what they would wear.

Has more ground in tradition than gray and all-blue.

Pretty soon you handle won't mean anything any more either.

Maybe the Athletic Department and Nike are much more astute than given credit for.

Nah

 

[Flacusian]

I liked the orange colored animal / insect suggestions. There are many out there...

Syracuse Aggressive Orange

Syracuse Fighting Orange Frogs!
