Syracuse Lady Orangemen?
Is that an oxymoron? But that is contradicting. What is the nickname of the Girl's Basketball team at Syracuse.

Actually a few years ago Syracuse dropped the "men" part of their naming convention.
Now it's the Syracuse Orange Men's Basketball Team and the Syracuse Orange Women's Basketball Team.
Football (only a men's team) is referred to as the Syracuse Orange Football team.
Anyone still using Orangemen is out of date.
And a little trivia for you... Orange wasn't Syracuse's original color.....it use to be rose pink and pea green until they changed it in 1891. Good decision eh!?
Edit... I do believe the poster below me is correct about the "Lady" part of the naming convention.

Even the men are longer the Orangemen - they are simply the Syracuse Orange and the Syracuse Lady Orange.
