Warriors could come from any country in the world.

The Soca can only come from Trinidad and Tobago.

Besides the Kenyan team also nicknamed the warriors

What about Trinidad and Tobago "Warrior Kings" that sound like a legacy. Everybody talking bout the days of the Warrior Kings....

I am for Soca Warriors. I was surprised that we dropped the only thing that identified the team with Trinbago.

Anybody ever hear of any damn Warriors running around in Trinidad. Seriously.

Soca is Trinidad and Tobago. Plain and simple.

Preacher · « **Reply #8 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:57:57 PM »

Then just bring back TNT Strike Squad that is a good name...interesting and does sound good when you braggin........The only thing is that so far nobody strikin:)

How yuh go hve Bunji and dem remix dey song den change the name right after....steupse.

Mr Mc · « **Reply #10 on:** June 10, 2005, 07:49:33 PM »

I disagree with the name change, and I will always call them the Soca Warriors. 'Soca' identifies the team as being from Trinbago, and does not express gaiety as Mr. Warner believes.

Changing our name is out of the question,Socawarriors identifies with everything in our country,people,sports ,culture etc it's a unique name we are Warriors,is just that we have to play like worriors.

Cowen · « **Reply #16 on:** June 11, 2005, 04:54:31 AM »

Well with all this talk they change the namne already. After they print the bands with SocaWarriors on it. What they have to do we put bad the Soca in the Warriors. Jasck talking bout people have to take the team seriously and that the Soca implies we only up to partying.

How come nobody ain't talk bout the reggae in ReggaeBoyz. Reggae synonymous with Jamaica just as Soca is for T&T. But this also shows the lack of respect we have for our own culture. Like Jack and the TTFF ashamed of the Soca or something. If them fellas cyar wine ... the wider community shouldn't have to pay for that.

AB.Trini · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2005, 09:22:26 AM »

The change of name is the last of our worries. Why draw the fous away on how we are playing to worry about a name change? Everyone ought to be focussing on improving and playing at a level to get us through.

The focus ought to be on the style, discipline, attack and the defensive side of our game.

OkOk I am rethinking this name thing: It seems like for every WCQ campaign we trying on new foreign coaches so I am going to propose a name( remember dis is all in jest) which can be adapted to the nationality of any foreign coach.

Now Nigeria goes by the Flying Eagles ; I say we go for the Flying Soca Corbeaus

Except for the Flying this ought to be totally original!!!!!!!!!!!!

This can be easily adapted to coaches' nationalities as per translation:

How about

Men-of-the-steelband
which can be shortened to
Men-of-Steel .
. The steelband is as authentic as calypso and there is no name change on the horizon. The name ``soca'' could change in two years, and change to its rightfull name `` .''

A more kicksy one, and for locals only, is ``Tabanca Boyz'' because if one loves to win in soccer, these guys can induce Tabanca.

'SOCA WARRIORS' - for when we playing outside North America

and

'SOCCER WARRIORS' when we playing in North America

the words 'soca' and 'soccer' are not so far apart in pronounciation if you from deep dirty south of the USA.

On ah serious note forumites....Can anyone validate that they changed the name of our national football team? If that is true then Warner and he boys have nuttin to do with dey time. LAAAARRRRDD!

This is my take..... There are many warriors in the world, but there is only one Soca Warrior team. As mentioned above, Soca in our name distinguishes us from all other soccer teams in the world. Soca is Trinidad and Tobago (doh dig no horraz my peeps from de other islands)!

If Jack is concerned that "Soca" in the name is gaily, then what about "Warrior"? Is that gaily too? "Warrior" describes how we play on the field, while "Soca" is indicative of where we are from. Maybe with all de international diplomacy Jack forget were he come from.

According to Jack, should we also believe that "reggae" in Jamaica's Reggae Boys mean that all ah dem on de team smoke weed? Come on man, stop de nonsense and focus on what really matters...supporting and developing our current national team....de true Soca Warriors

To shy away from the use of Soca in our soccer team's name is to shy away from our identity. Here it is I thought we were making progress...

From the Trinidad Express: "Warner was speaking at a news conference at which Telecommunication Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) handed out 30 cell phones to the team and announced the setting up of an interactive website dedicated to the team's progress to Germany. "

Thanx Tallman... There is truth to de madness. Anybody ever stopped to think that the name change could have been due to TSTT launching their own Warrior website? Since socawarriors.net run tingz on de web and socawarriors.com is taken, they probably had no other recourse but to change the name.

Man if that is true dem fellas real low yes! If they launch another website that will be very counterproductive. Based on all the interaction I have observed on SW.net it is plain to see that they command a large number of the T&T soocer supporters. If TSTT were to lend their support to SW.net instead of forming their own website that would be more valuable to the whole "Journey to Germany" effort.

Poll

What shall we call our beloved T&T team ?
