They are actually the Syracuse Orange. Anyone on the team is considered an Orangeman or Orangewoman.

Could be?

Orange is the official school color, adopted as such in 1890. Prior to that time, the school's colors were rose pink and pea green. Orange, blue, and white are traditionally used for athletic uniforms.[8]

The athletic nickname derives from the official color. Prior to 2004, the official nicknames of the athletic teams were the "Orangemen" and "Orangewomen." These former nicknames are still affectionately used by some fans. However, beginning with the 2004?2005 school year, the official nickname was changed to the "Orange." This revision is gender-neutral, concise, and reflects the basis of the nickname as being the school color.[9] Other nicknames over the years have included the "Hilltoppers," for the school's location on a hill, and the "Saltine Warriors," for a former mascot.

There's a guy down the street who jogs shirtless every day in the summer, but he puts on *way* too much of that tanner lotion. He turns bright orange! So now we call him Orange Man.
