    As others have said:

    -- Who uses this? I doubt anyone uses this.
    -- It's a ridiculous and unnecessary form of the team's name.

    I think it is... that's the only place I've seen it used routinely in the horrible comments section on the site, and idiot 10-year-olds who want to claim "first!" and "Go 'Zers!".... just terrible..

    I can't say I like it. It makes me think of "Zephyrs" personally.

    how complicated is a trail blaze? Isn't it just a slash?

    I heard a friend of mine use this term a number of years back like it was a common slang. Was it? Anyone... Bueller?

    I like Z's idea more.

    Just curious, I've always said Blazer fans, as in "there are a lot of Blazer fans on S2," or "I'm a Blazer fan" but on the broadcast they say Blazers fans. I assume the latter is correct?

    Yes.

    A Blazer is a jacket, Blazers are a professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association.

    but it seems that, oddly enough, both are said about as often. Even Blazer's Edge goes with the slogan "A Site by Blazer fans, for Blazer fans"
