Ok, so now they are the "Orange", not the "Orangemen", but having a
large citrus fruit run around the field does not cancel out the fact the
name is abbreviated from "Orangemen"....  There are not a lot of orange
groves in upstate New York, but there were a lot of "Orangemen".

Just an FYI

I believe a year or two ago, Syracuse changed their nickname from
Orangemen
to just Orange.

I really wonder how places like Florida State will react to this ruling.
