Of course it's a lighthouse... Eugene, OR Christian college NCU is the Beacons. They don't use lighthouse imagery though. Colors are blue and yellow.

Okay, so...several people know this, some don't, even in the state of Tennessee. (I know this because I live here and it trips me out...) The short version is that the nickname "Volunteers" came from the overwhelming response of Tennessee military service members who, well, "volunteered" their efforts to both the battle of the Alamo, led by Davy Crockett, and later, in much greater number, to the Mexican War (aka the battle for Texas independence, where the famous saying "Remember the Alamo" originated), led by Sam Houston. That's where the "Tennessee Volunteers" nickname stuck. While we're here, the orange and white colors originate from the color of the flowers that used to grow on what UT calls "The Hill" on campus, this way back in the 1890s or so--back then that's where the campus was primarily based. I only know this because I looked it up shortly after moving here. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Of the old traditional teams some of them are bizarrely named, only it doesn't seem that way to us because they've always been there as part of the old guard. I mean Red Sox/White Sox is pretty odd. Packers Even something like Trojans. If you had a college program starting now they wouldn't consider Trojans as most would associate the name with condoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 My old High School has what I think is a unique name - The Norwalk Truckers. They chose the name Truckers because trucking was the biggest industry in town at the time. It might be my all time favorite team name. At least top five for sure. Not the greatest logo, but you get the idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliforniaGlowin Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Syracuse Orange. how many teams have a color as the name instead of an adjective? mean green? I wish there was a team called Black. Last updated 2/26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish there was a team called Black. There's also the Stanford Cardinal, and Harvard Crimson. So unless there's another somewhere we don't know about, there may be only three teams named for a single color. As for [singular nickname], right off the top of my head: Alabama Crimson Tide Tulane Green Wave Tulsa Golden Hurricane (!) St. John's Red Storm Cornell Big Red (which I suppose may fit into that first category up above) Officially, (I believe) North Texas' athletic nickname is "Eagles"...but by and large they are the "Mean Green" to all of us. (Now I'm thinking there needs to be a team somewhere nicknamed the "Gold Rush"...lol) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
