Just thought about this and perhaps that's one of our branding problems...
United - red devils, Brentford - bees, arsenal - gunners, West ham - hammers/irons. Logos reflect that. Easy. Joined up.
Everton - the toffees but with Rupert's tower. No connection. No toffee branding (perhaps rightly?)
I love our tower... Also our heritage - 1878, even the badge form (for me has a sheriff feel to it, which supports the tower contact).
Perhaps, the nickname is the problem?
