What was the name of your High School mascot?

[greendog]

Ours was "Woody Woodman". Nowadays he's either "The Lumberjack" or "The Woodman".

[NV Whino]

1. Melvin the mustang.

[Art_from_Ark]

32. Is Melvin any relation to Marvel?

[NV Whino]

34. No, Melvin was green

Not just green, but Kelly green.

[Kali]

2. a freaking "Don"

that isnt't what it looked like when I was there but that is the idea

[TexasTowelie]

3. It was a longhorn

called Geronimo. The real (deceased) Geronimo was sent to the Soviet Union as an exhibition display during the Bicentennial. Legend says that he was the lead steer for a cattle drive from George West to Fort Worth (about 400 miles) and then the steer returned home afterwards on his own.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Didn't have a mascot that I remember...

but we were the Trojans. I guess I know where that would have gone if left up to the student body.

[femmocrat]

21. Same here.

We were the Trojans, mighty, mighty Trojans!

No one dressed up like one though! LOL

Back then, we didn't know any better.

[surrealAmerican]

5. as far as I know, that eagle didn't have a name

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. We had the Del Mar Dons!

And ours was a real live little old man, who lived near where our high school was being built. He would come by to watch and after a while, he was a fixture.

We made him our mascot and he showed up at football games and the like.

He was way cool!

[Kali]

10. no shit?

you had Dons too? I thought we had to have been the only ones. the cheerleaders were Donetts

[pinboy3niner]

11. Which they pronounced very carefully

[Kali]

12. mmmm and we used to get those powdered donettes at the snack bar too

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Nope, no shit.

But our cheerleaders were not Donetts!

I don't think they had a name, actually.

[sakabatou]

7. Titan

[frogmarch]

8. We were the Bulldogs and ours was

an adorable cream-colored bulldog named Hootenanny.

[Sherman A1]

20. We were as well!

ours was a white one with black spots.

[Art_from_Ark]

33. There were three high schools with bulldog mascots

within 20 miles of me-- Fayetteville, Springdale, and Decatur (Arkansas). It was fun to listen to radio broadcasts of the Springdale-Fayetteville games... "And the Bulldogs have the ball on the Bulldogs' 40 yard line..."

[pinboy3niner]

9. Dalek

Admittedly, it was kind of a strange choice of mascot for Dr. Who High.

[mackerel]

13. lol....Tokay Tigers

Everbodys here so everybody cheer!

[Broken_Hero]

14. Kings....

but not the cool kind of Kings, you know...Kings that are the rulers of the land and shit like. We were the King "salmon" and to boot, our school nemesis's were called the Crimson Bears, they beat us a lot.

[Brother Buzz]

16. "Charlie", a cigar store indian

My school got PC after I graduated and did away with him for some sort of predatory bird. So be it.

Charlie was carved by Barney West a Sausalito institution.

[fizzgig]

17. our impala didn't have a name

my jr high mascot, the lancer, also didn't have a name.

[bluesbassman]

18. We were the "Gaels"

We didn't have a mascot in costume. My hometown had a strong link to Ireland.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. We were the Lions. Lyons Township.

My partner's high school just before his time was "The Pekin Chinks" - Pekin Illinois.
Yes you read that right. Now they are the Dragons.

Of course my partner's freeper sister was one of the people protesting changing the name.

Some things never change. Always on the wrong side of history. She doesn't think we should be allowed to be married either even though she supposedly loves us to death.

[LeftinOH]

22. Poca High School (WV): The Poca Dots

OK- it's not where I went to high school.. but I love it.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Here's Jack the bulldog of Georgetown riding a skateboard.

[Tom_Foolery]

24. The Red Devils...

Of course, the religious right in the town have tried for many years to have the name changed.

[Skittles]

25. three high schools: a Hadite, a Viking and a Wildcat

yup

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. I believe it was the "Blue Jackets"

of Savannah High in Savannah, Georgia. When my dad came back from Vietnam, the Air Force assigned him to command the radar station that was all that remained of former Hunter Air Force base in Savannah and that's where I went for my final two years of high school. I'm not sure what Blue Jacket meant but I have a hazy recollection that it was some kind of blue bumble bee (instead of a yellow jacket). I really didn't pay much attention to such things in high school. I was mainly into growing my hair long and playing electric guitar. I didn't involve myself in any school team spirit activities, never attended a football or basketball game, never went to a pep rally, dance, prom, or homecoming, didn't belong to any school clubs, and didn't care at all about being popular.

[benld74]

[El Supremo]

36. The Lions, naturally.

[safeinOhio]

37. Riverside River Rats

[Recursion]

38. An anonymous yellowjacket

At least, if he had a first name I never heard it.

[Little Star]

39. We were the pioneers, the mighty mighty pioneers!....

And we still are even after all these years.

Our rival team's those dang Bartlett Indians! Who cares about that lake they have in their town ~ Lake Chaubunagungamaug.

[LiberalEsto]

40. Victor E. Patriot

But that was back in the late 60s-early70s and has probably changed.

[geardaddy]

42. The Millers

Our school was named after C. C. Washburn, a milling tycoon.
