  • Nickname for Team Pilipinas

    Guys, any suggestion as to the nickname of our National Team? e.g. Australia Team is called Boomers, New Zealand (Tall Blacks), China (Walking Great Wall), etc...

        Philippine NT used to be known as "islanders" because the Philippines used to be called "Philippine Islands." it's a colonial term and won't sit well with nationalists and leftists.

        how about "the Carabaos?"

        Tamaraws could be better, but FEU already got it.

        Maybe "the Water Buffalos" can also work. It means carabaos, but with emphasis on water to symbolize our archipelagic geography.

        Yeah, i like "the Water Buffalos."

        bull-strong sea-farers. brave new breed of basketballers. smart and skilled workingmen with attitude.

        A salute to all OFW's, especially the seamen.

                              Someone under 5 feet can be a great coach, don’t get me wrong, but to be a big man coach and have never played in the post or even played high level ball? C’mon now.
