So is the name "Alouettes" until you look up the meaning of the word in Wikipedia.

"Alouette" or "Alouetté" is a popular French-Canadian children's song about plucking the feathers from a lark, in retribution for being woken up by its song.

I voted for Alouettes before I looked that up! Still, I like the sound of the word and it's definitely Montreal French.
"Expos" is a reference to the Expo 67 World's Fair which is kind of a lame thing to name a team after, especially considering it was 50 years ago. (Personally, it reminds me of how old I am getting, because I was there!
)
So, go Alouettes! And yes, their uniforms are cool.
