Which was a made-up nickname that someone came up with out of nowhere in 1974. Before that they'd been the Glaziers, playing in claret and blue (although they still changed the design almost every season).
And what pray did Albion call themselves prior to about 1976? It wasn't "Seagulls", that was something you took after as a retaliation to "Eagles" chants.
Wasn't it a marine mammal of some kind?
