umlegend1980 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Macon Whoopee was definitely different. We have the Lansing Lugnuts near by. Minor league baseball is full of them. I thing the Packers is rather unique on a professional level and Hokies is different in the college ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGlowin Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 A lot of these "country names" don't make sense to me, which sucks because they have cool colors. I'd like to see some more team branding for us city people!

Wandell Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Our high school, the Cairo Syrupmakers. For decades, the largest factory in our city was Roddenberry Foods. Their two main products were pickles and syrup, hence the name Syrupmakers. We were actually named the most unique mascot name among Georgia high schools by ESPN.

kiwi_canadian Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I always enjoyed the Macon Whoopee. The play on words is clever and rather amusing for the old days of The Sims 2 & 3 computer games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s amazing, that’s how you do a unique name, not this adjective followed by something generic (ie; cityhawks, Seahawks, Baybears) and it’s so locally connected, 10/10 goodjob to your Highschool My Highschool are the Defenders, named after the Fort located in Lexington; Bryan Station, who defended against the “Indians” that was even the name of the middle school, until they deemed Indians was inappropriate and just ripped off Cincinnati Bearcats Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 My high school's mascot was a beacon... People would often chant at us, "What's. A. Beacon?" Of course it's a lighthouse...

AndrewMLind Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Well, technically. A lighthouse is the structure in which the beacon (a light, in this case) is found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
