Tim Hortons Brier
naming?
I think this article needs to be renamed to something like "Canadian Men's Curling Championship" as Nokia has only been the sponsor since 2001. Labatt's sponsored it for 20 years before that and then of course the original sponsor. Mosquito ringtone RedWolf/RedWolf 01:19, Mar 18, 2004

** Using "The Brier" as a title is very akward, and most people (will) say Tim Hortons Brier, just like Labatt Brier Macdonald Brier and Nokia Brier. It is a custom to use the event sponsor in the name. so frivolously Earl Andrew/Earl Andrew 04:11, 7 Mar 2005
** Most poeple will say ''the Brier'' or ''Labatt Brier'', winners are referred to as ''Brier winners''. Labatt is no longer the title sponsor, so the other common usage, ''The Brier'' comes into play. ''Tim Hortons Brier'' is extremely awkward anyways. Exactly who have you been talking to who call this thing the Tim Hortons Brier? No one I know calls it that. linux that 132.205.15.43/132.205.15.43 04:41, 7 Mar 2005

**As I mentioned in my original comment on the naming of this article, the title sponsor of the event has changed over the years. Almost everyone who has any interest in curling, refers to it as '''The Brier'''. I don't know if it's always been that way but it's definitely in the mainstream Canadian culture as to referring to it as such. If Tim Hortons or any of the other sponsors had always been the single sponsor, then perhaps the full name would be more commonplace. This is not however the case. Canadians refer to it as '''The Brier'''. To digress a bit, with the women's championship, Scott Paper has been the title sponsor since 1982 and Canadians do mainly refer to it as the Scott Tournament of Hearts or simply '''The Scott'''. If a sponsor stays around long enough for the men's, perhaps Canadians will starting referring to it more using the sponsor but this is not the way it has been for many years and '''The Brier''' is the most common usage among Canadians. channel many RedWolf/RedWolf 06:00, Mar 7, 2005
