The team name “87ers” was selected in recognition of Delaware’s place in United States history, as it was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on December 7, 1787. The 87ers name also is immediately evocative of the parent “76ers,” a name similarly derived from Philadelphia’s place in U.S. history with the Declaration of Independence being signed there in 1776. The 87ers team will also be nicknamed the “Sevens,” a nod to the way the parent club’s official name is often shortened to the “Sixers.”


whatever

Really just want to see a team use an expletive nickname some day. "Yeah I'm going to see the Fuckers game tonight"

More teams should name themselves after years.

I think the 04ers would be a cool name.

this was the logical step up from having the Royals low-a franchise here. i'm thinking our own arena team can't be far behind

Wikipedia

Seveners (Arabic: سبعية‎) are a branch of Ismā'īlī Shīʻa. They became known as "Seveners" because they believe that Ismā'īl ibn Jaʻfar was the seventh and the last Imām (hereditary leader of the Muslim community in the direct line of ʻAlī ibn Abī Tālib). They believed his son, Muħammad ibn Ismā'īl al-Maktum, would return and bring about an age of justice as al-Mahdi. Their most famous and active branch were the Qarmatians.

Sometimes "sevener" is used to refer to Ismailis overall, though several branches, such as the Nizari Ismailis, have far more than seven imams.


Maybe this is the target audience?

John Fuckface says Larry Drew would be interested in the Sixers if he gets fired by the Hawks. NOPE

the Hawks have the longest playoff streak outside of the Spurs and he was assistant or head coach the whole time. why would they fire him? and why shouldn't we consider him if they do?
