Nickname?

[Kevin]

City is the best choice I've heard, but
Blue Devil
The Pent(agons)
Blue Pents
Blue stripes

 

[kun]

The Insomniacs?

I guess we could now cue all the rejects from supporters group naming process here, and see what could possibly stick. However, normally organic team nicknames rather evolve from funny headlines or some remarks at press conferences or, more web 2.0, from some memes on social media. Argh whatever, I'll still beat my drum for the Kings Of The Jungle.

Thanks for the replies. City is what I've been using, but I keep thinking something else will evolve.

 

[CP_Scouse]

No

C is for City and that's good enough for me.

I have always called it simply The Football Club.

Always? Since May of 2013???

 

[Homer]

Man City + Yankees = The Mankees

 

[MrE]

Man City + Yankees = The Mankees

Its a little better than the MANYANKS

Yes, "always", as in 'since it existed'. Great job.

NYCFC - Blue Bombers (reference to the wartime American / English Links)

Well, the Yankees are called the BRONX BOMBERS, so that "might" work.

NYCFC - the Nine Eleveners - Supporters with replica shirts could honour that date with the number 911 on the back

That's a very touchy subject (especially in the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area) and might just be considered in bad taste just like we'd never do something similar like 41ers (for Pearl Harbor).

Man City + Yankees = The Mankees

That'd be a cool name just to hear people singing, "Hey, hey, we're the Mankees! People say we mankee around . . ."

 

[Buckley]

A lot of the nicknames we see nowadays from sports teams from all around the world were created decades ago by people with different tastes and sensibilities than we do now. I think the idea is a bit dated and (if I can borrow a word and theme I've seen around the boards a while back) if we get any nickname I think it should be... organic... ughhhh.

The Organics?!

 

[MrE]

The Holistics

 

[Fireman1201]

"City" Keep it simple. "The City" is always NYC. We are more "City" than Manchester England IMO.

"GO CITY" "LET'S GO CITY" etc

 

[BlueWolf]

I have always called American City fans, 'Yankunians', and it fits the bill here - that might touch a nerve with some on this forum, but I am throwing no implications around, I just think it has a nice sound to it.

Other than that:
City (obviously)
Yorkers
The Amsterdamned
