A name for the collective group of Pirates fans. Now with poll

by WVPiratesfan on Dec 25, 2009 12:07 AM EST

Since there isn't really a name for the entire group of Pirates fans that I have heard of like, Steeler Nation or Red Sox Nation something like that, I have decided to come up with one. I beleive that we shall call ourselves members of the Pirates Armada. This name was concieved in the span of six seconds when I was trying to defend the Steelers from Browns fan and I said that most Steelers fans are also members of the Pirates Armada so we know how to deal with a team that can't win for losing. So this is my question, is that the name we think we should go with to known as a collective group of fans or do you have something better, if so tell me in the comments.

There was going to be a poll but my computer just decided it wasn't going to let me do that

I like just “Pirates fans” with the individual nicknames for the fans who sit in left field.

“Bay Watch”
“Morgantown”
“The Milledge People”

etc. etc.

I always liked Al's Army when we had Al Martin

Actually I think it was Greg Brown's idea...

But you are correct that this isn’t an orginal idea by WVPiratesfan.
