What do you guys think of the name of the active fanbase? Personally, I love it.

It's pretty good, I like the Terrace aspect, although why is it Italian? I am not against that, I love Italy, and Italian football, but I don't see the connection. I worry it might make some people feel excluded, and in my opinion that is a negative that doesn't need to be present.
The emblem is great too by the way. Really well done on that. I like the elements, layout, & themes.
I think one thing that should be encouraged is diversity with the Terrace. I am all for different sub-groups, each with their own identity, who come together in the same "end".
Olympic Marsielles, as just one example, have multiple groups, with their own identities within both the North & South Curva/Tribunes. This allows divergent opinions / politics to flourish & have a voice with a unified suppirter base. Then everyone doesn't have to agree on everything, but can join together in the active end to support the team.
I think the lack of such diversity in Australian & New Zealand supporter groups hampers growth. One group of people tend to set the tone/voice of THE "Active Group" and people who happen to disagree or have altetnate views can be driven out of the active support end, & their voice & passion is (largely) lost.
Football is for everyone, and there is not one right way to do support. Diversity should embraced and encouraged. The broader the supporter base, the stronger it is and the faster it can bloom.

I like Z's too.
#KingzFanTillIDie
What happens if the club's colours are not blue?
In my opinion one the great things thst happened with The Kingz/Bloc 5 is was it became a melting pot, where people from clubs all over Auckland/Northern NZ (and supporters of overseas clubs) all came together, united.
The more this clubs suppirter base can be divorced from & independent of any pre-existing clubs the better I think. It should be as open a church as possible, with all people with all ethnicities, backgrounds, and allegiences welcomed.
Brainstorming ideas for group(s) names.
THEMES:
Terrace, Curva, Tribune, End - all good.
Tamaki Makaurau, Waitemata, and Manukau harbours all good.
British Colonial oppression & symbols of racism & exploitation - bad.
Flags, drums, trumpets, etc. & The 09 - good.
Any single European Ethnic/national orientation/affiliation - bad.
New Zealand cultural/history references - good.
NAMES:
The 09 Brigade or The 09 Brigands Harbour City Crew Te Reo o Te Ipu kura a Maki (The voice of Mt Smart) Bloc 09 Knight Life The Beasley Ave Brigade Maurice Road Faction Neilson Street Tribune
Or variations of aspects of the above...?
