[Albion] If our nickname wasn't "The Seagulls" what nickname would you choose for us and why?

If our nickname wasn't "The Seagulls" what nickname would you choose for us and why?

If our nickname wasn't The Seagulls and that name wasn't available to us what nickname would you choose for us and why?

The nickname might be chosen for some historical or local significance to the club or the area, but not necessarily.

If you wish you may explain your reasons for selecting your chosen name if your reason for doing so is not immediately obvious.

Rules:
1. "The Albion" or "The Blues" are not permitted.
2. You are permitted to use a name already in use by another team as is already the case with some teams. Thus "The Royals" already used by Reading or "The Irons" used by West Ham would be permissible, and some might argue, appropriate.

The Gaylords.

 

[Icy Gull]

The Phoenix, which is also what the stadium should have called if we hadn’t wanted sponsorship.

Needs no explantion, surely

 

[el punal]

Not Seagulls? Okay then, the Chipnickers.

 

[Gazwag]

The Martlets, obviously

 

[Titanic]

The Brighton Ballers.

[Bulldog]

The Saxons

Sūþsēaxe Where the first Saxons landed so where England was born!

We could wear horned helmets and stuff, the Yanks would love it.

If our nickname wasn't 'The Seagulls', I would choose 'The Seagulls' to be our nickname, because I like it.

The Bulldogs or is it best to stay clear of any possible associations with a well known Kemp Town pub. Best not encourage our rival supporters.
Perhaps "The Greyhounds" is a better canine option. Also has local significance.

.... and this would be my second choice, or maybe first. Its a good one, actually, I think I would still go with 'The Seagulls', but maybe not.

Surely......................


the Regents

 

[Wellesley]

I think we need something we can ALL get behind, so, finally, I would choose 'The Brexiteers'.

As is made clear in the opening post, that option isn't available. Possibly because of trademark issues or some other explanation.
You could have "The Herring Gulls" as a compromise if you want if you are determined to stick with the seabird theme, or perhaps "The Larus".

 

[Greg Bobkin]

The troops (as in "Tony Bloom's/ Chrissy Hughton's Blue and white ARMY)

Oh yeah, I didn't read that bit.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

We could go for a variation on Seagulls....

"The noisy thieving shit machines" has a ring to it, but the players might take it personally when we start chanting it.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

The Gaylords.

In that case.... The Puffins ?
