In case you are not aware the cookie brigade is the unofficial/official name for the U-21 members of the soon to be named supporters group. I absolutely love it. It is self-deprecating and ironic. These SGs tend to take themselves very seriously, as do soccer fans generally and that is fine. I am one of those who does take it seriously. But at the end of the day we are a bunch of people watching soccer, thus self-deprecating. It's ironic because soccer fans and supporters groups have a reputation and history of trying to be "hard" and intimidating and starting fights and all that crap. A name like cookie brigade is not in the least bit intimidating.
That the group has embraced shows me that this is a good group of guys and gals. Maybe I am reading to much into it but if the SG was trying to be "hard" or taking itself too seriously that name wouldn't have stuck. Anyway, the name makes me happy and I hope all our legally dictated teetotalers wear it with pride.
