The Toffees
The Toffeemen
The Blues
The Black Watch
The Mersey Millionaires
The School of Science

Got enough nicknames thank you.

 

[anjelikaferrett]

No. Never change.

 

[marnie]

The Rantalions. Now that's a name we should get on board with !!!!!!

I hate the blues. So generic. Every team in blue calls themselves it. It's also racist to be proud of your colour -as a side point.

 

[banno]

No need to change. Part of our history. Toffees, Toffeemen although Evertonians don't use it the opposition fans do and what we are known as to wools.

 

[Jeff Jones]

No.

A pointless idea made worse by offering a lousy suggestion for a new one.

If we ever did ditch the Toffees as the nickname how about calling us 'the Scousers' as a new one. We are the original club in Liverpool anyway.

Plus it would have the double whammy of winding that shower up just like that 'peoples club' thing always did.

I don't see how all these attributes are put with the term leftie. I'm a socialist because I believe in equality of opportunity and the weak supporting the strong (although I also believe in helping people as much as they help themselves and cutting adrift lazy scroungers). This makes me a leftie, but none of the rest.

I'm not offended I just think using this term with all the other terms in a derogatory sense is unfair.

Damn right the weak should support the strong ... make America great again!

The club is working on an event they will be hosting the weekend before next season under the banner IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY and will showcase all the relevant locations since 1878. The Toffee shop features as does Prince Rupert Tower. Millennials will be welcome!

Honestly in my view it,s time for a change, The Toffees has no traction or meaning with the current millenial Everton fans, in a new global digital media world with respect to our brand.


Right I will go first. My suggestion

Blue Devils

Are you taking the piss? Go away!

Good idea.

I like the Everton Instagrams
Or scrap the name Everton altogether and just call the club The Twitters since we play in blue anyway.
3rd choice and its a bit out there is to call us North England and just roam around and play at any ground north of say Watford.

I’m just sick of everyone being so politically correct and whinging about everything . Seeems like all young people are campaigning for something or telling me that something is racist, wrong, discrimination, or cruel etc. don’t get why everything has become offensive or needs changing . I get equal rights , racism etc but the millennials and do gooders take it so far that it becomes stupid and makes it hard to take the serious stuff more seriously. I don’t even really like the nickname “ the toffees “ I don’t dislike it either , but it’s a bit of our history and not offensive so I don’t see why things like that actually warrant a change. Seems the world has gone soft and there always seems to be someone or some group whinging about something . I mean in Melbourne they had to change the green man light signs for crossing the road because it was offensive . Google took the eater egg out of their logo because it’s offensive to vegans just a weird world that’s all
