What the hell is a Hotspur? Check out these nicknames:
Fulham - The Cottagers, The Lilywhites
Barnsley - The Tykes
Blackpool - The Tangerines
Leeds United - The Peacocks
Norwich City - The Canaries
Portsmouth - Pompey
Stoke City - The Potters
Oooh mommy, can I stay home from school today? The Tangerines are playing the Lilywhites!

I love all of those names because they're authentic and they've been with the clubs for a century, which is why new teams in North America adopting them is ridiculous. It's faux history.
