    how shall i explain this...

    in over 100years of history, the Queensland Reds have never been known as QR, the only 'QR' acronym associated with the Reds is the company Queensland Rail.

    If you are going to use the example EWF, then the relevant acronym would be QRQR, in which case just typing 'Reds' is just as easy.

    Actually, typing 'QRQR' is easier than typing 'Reds' as it consists of repeating 2 letters rather than 4 different letters. Also, 'QRQR' is all in capital letters whereas 'Reds' has an initial capital, requiring additional typing effort!!!

    force fans are the only people i have ever known to name there team including the sponsor, maybe its because you have never changed sponsors or something.

    but reds, brumbies and tahs fans just call there team by there actual name, we leave the corporate jargon to the corporates!

    I don't actually know of any Force supporters who use the sponsors name in conversation
    It is quite normal to see the Emirates Western Force, QR Reds, HSBC Waratahs and the CA Brumbies in the media and on their own websites though.
