This got me digging and I can see that once again we copied the Massive:
"Sheffield United are nicknamed ‘The Blades’ from the most famous trade of the town, steelmaking. ‘Blades’ or ‘Cutlers’ were formerly the name for all senior Sheffield football clubs, particularly when they were playing away. United were also occasionally called ‘The Laneites’. A popular headline in the newspapers in those days when United and Wednesday played each other was ‘a Clash of Blades.’ The name ‘Blades’ was used far more by United supporters than the name ‘Cutlers’, whereas the Wednesday supporters, encouraging their team, always thought it was their right to use the name ‘Blades’ since they were the older club.
However, in 1907, a cartoon appeared in a Sheffield newspaper, drawn by an artist who was not familiar with Sheffield and more important with the way Sheffield people pronounce things, depicting Wednesday from Owlerton (Sheffieldish ole-ler-tun) as an owl and United as a blade. From then on the owl was used for Wednesday and United had the blades all to themselves."

We just want to be like them.
How about a poll on changing our nickname to 'The Hillsboroughs" or "The Owls" and let them have "Blades" back?
It seems only fair as they are the older club and also much bigger than us.
We'd also be known as the cunts as well though.
