The No 1 newspaper of Macedonia (from 1911 till today) is called… “Macedonia” and has the faces of Philip & Alexander in its logo. One of the first Greek newspapers of Thessaloniki before “Macedonia” was called “Lighthouse of Macedonia [Φάρος της Μακεδονίας]” (1881-1902).
The Macedonian Struggle is the No3 National Holiday and the song “Famed Macedonia [Μακεδονία Ξακουστή]” is the No 2 National Song (after National Hymn). The heroes of the Macedonian Struggle were called Macedonian Fighters.
Football Teams (Macedonicos), associations, clubs, various companies, local administrations etc bare the names Macedonia/ Macedonian. All these, were since long before 1980s. It should be emphasized that the name was never avoided or replaced (e.g. with an alternate name).
*Edit: That's just an older post of mine, that was deleted by administrators along with my (then) account.
