'The Super Blues' nickname on iFollow 21:00 - Sep 20 with 5940 viewsbluethroughnthrough

Does anyone else find it odd and also a bit cringeworthy the insistence of the iFollow commentator to call us 'the super blues' rather than the Tractor Boys or just the Blues or Town? I'm guessing either he's been told to use it by someone higher up, or he's done minimal research about ITFC. Even if you're not a fan of 'Tractor Boys', I've rarely ever heard 'Super Blues' used.

Poll: Where do you expect us to finish next season?

We used to have super blues on the silk scarves that we tied around our wrists.


Super Blues is very 70’s.

At 5 to 3 the stadium announcer would say, ‘’and now it’s time to welcome your team, the Super Blues’’ as the team came out of the tunnel. Great days. Reminds me of being a kid.

Tractor Boys was a forgettable ironic response to ‘bunch of farmers’ taunts that lazy Sky journalists jumped on. Dislike it.

Despite what you may read on wiki, "Super Blues" is our official nickname although we are now widely considered the Tractor Boys.

The Blues will always be Birmingham in my books and maybe even Chelski.


Birmingham are just ‘blues’. There is no The.

When I hear that music I’m transported back to the days of Mariner, Whymark, Hunter and Beattie emerging from the south west corner. I can almost feel the contours of the milk crate beneath my feet.

Puts a tear in my eye!

This was my point, I've seen 'super blues' on things printed out & in 'singing the blues' - but from living outside of suffolk, supporters of other clubs would ask me how have the tractor boys done. Work mates who are Chelsea or Liverpool fans aren't going to ask me how the 'super blues' have done.


Yeah exactly. It's like when you're a kid in the playground - you don't get to choose your nickname, it's what others know you by. We're The Tractor Boys whether people like it or not.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
