    Personally, I've never liked it. But hey, I also sometimes refer to Atlanta as the ATL.

    So, there ya go. :lol:

    Wasn't aware the term even existed.

    z=snooze, so zers=snoozers?

    No poll? :ghoti:

    I vote sell. I hate the term. Same with people that use chip or ship for championship.

    Sell. Which makes the 'zurs hoamaid gere' thread even more priceless.

    Really don't like it.

    Too easy to change "Zers" in to "Zeros".

    Yikes!

    Sell it....

    We've shortened Trail Blazers to Blazers to Zers, how much lazier can we get? Perhaps maybe just a Zs?

    And while we're at it (and I realize this has nothing to do with Zers), could we just tip the Blazers logo back a little to the left and have it look like it was originaly meant to be viewed?

    while i dont really care for it, its one of the better nicknames i have heard for the team. better then blaze, just reminds me of smoking pot, something the 'Jail Blazers' were known for.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Never heard the term until "yr homade Zurs gear," so my one exposure to it was win.

    If someone randomly called them that in discussion, I expect it would be awful.

    Sell. Hate it.

    Although by analogy, the L@kers would then be the "Kers"
