It's just the name of a shape. May as well call them the parallelograms.

I’m not that bothered about the Chevrons personally. Think it’s fine if people use it

You were correct about everything, except calling them the Chevrons. I will never accept that name for the team.
It is a stupid name and to date, to my knowledge, never been officially called that.

To me it’s just like the old nick names teams have in the EPL that don’t make sense or aren’t relevant anymore. It’s just an unofficial nickname that is very much entrenched.

I really don’t understand why it upsets people so much tbh, it’s just a nickname.

Tbh most nicknames around the world have a somewhat stupid origin :lol: . They just end up sticking to the team. Personally, I don't have a problem with the 'Chevrons' but ig I ain't educated enough to be critical.
