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

Question

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.

I don’t know what exactly you are referring to but I’m guessing it’s along the lines of “We, the North,” as in “We, the people,”
