Hi my name is Carter and I’m a fan of Pacific basketball. I’m originally from Iowa, I became a Pacific fan a little under two years ago.

I love the Tigers, even though I’m a thousand miles away. I stream all their games, am an active member of the college basketball Reddit page where I comment and cheer on my tigers, and have even started streaming other sports, primarily baseball

All this being said, the name of Pacific’s student section should have some correlation to the university. But it does not. The current name, orange army, is not great. Unlike a good section name, like Cyclone Alley or Cameron Crazies, is that it’s unoriginal. It’s vague and could be used by any other university with orange in their colors.

What I propose is naming it is “The Pacific Ocean”. The Pacific Ocean is enormous, wonderful, and a force to be reckoned with. Along with the fact of the originality and uniqueness of the name, it also has ties to the name of the university.

Please join in signing this petition to help make this university that much more great

Go Tigers!
