Actually, the use of the apostrophe in that example is grammatically correct. Its use is permitted where it removes confusion for the reader."The U's". Common misuse of an apostrophe.
I remember questioning this a few seasons ago. James Brownlie (remember him?) took me to task on the basis that OUFC would not make grammatical mistakes, so I must be wrong. James Brownlie was / is a solicitor.
Us is a word and reading ‘The Us’ could be confusing to the reader, whereas the apostrophe in U’s removes any confusion with the word ‘us’.
