Why is it “We The North” and not “We ARE The North”?

2.38K views

I think it makes us sound stupid and a little illiterate. In every use-case (official and otherwise) the slogan of “We the north” is not even grammatically correct.

Every time I see it somewhere there’s always an urge inside of me to marker in “ARE” in between the slogan.

EDIT: it’s from some basketball slogan from the Toronto Raptors as part of some campaign that stuck. I think it’s lame due to its grammatical error in the way that they use it.

Why? Because We Are The North sounds stupid and only a minority like you prefer it. The professional marketing agency that was paid a million to come up with it and do audience tests to see how people liked it thought it would be good. And it has been – it has won numerous awards and other teams have emulated it on official media. That is the business reason, our personal opinions are subjective.
