Rovers
British team suffix
Rovers is the plural of rover—one who roams or wanders without fixed destination.
The word appears most commonly in the names of sports teams, especially football and rugby clubs in Britain: Blackburn Rovers, Bristol Rovers.
A rover in some sports is a player without a fixed position who moves freely across the field.
In scouting, Rovers are members of a senior branch for young adults.
