I reckon if you're West Ham you're much more likely to say Irons. If you're not, you're much more likely to say Hammers.

Most foreigners calll us Hammers because of the crossed hammers on the emblem of course,They are not aware of enough of our history to call us Irons.

Irons.
I live in California and get tired of explaining that there is no connection between the "Ham" in West Ham to the "Hammers." Their eyes glaze over when I tell then we were once Thames Ironworks, a works team and the "Irons" or "Hammers" came from knocking rivets into the hull of a ship.
One friend asked me, "how do I cheer for West Ham, do I say, Go Ham?"
