OchentaYOcho88 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 That's right. It says CornJerkers.That's right. It says CornJerkers.We played them in high school! Also the Bunnies and Pretzels (a but more common)HAHS Class of 2009 here!It's actually Cornjerkers, that billboard was put up by some community improvement that didn't have permission from the school district to use the actual "Jerky" which is this:My senior year I had the pleasure of designing a t-shirt that the school sold to purchase.

illini1 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 New Berlin PretzelsWHY?Apparently they got the nickname because players were sitting on the bench throwing pretzels at each other. http://www.maxpreps.com/news/_Le3ECLUEeG-rAAmVebEWg/maxpreps-mascot-mondays--illinois-high-school-mascots.htmThe article also mentions a nickname I forgot about.

hettinger_rl Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Lakeview Honkers (OR) I'm pretty sure at least half of this is donald duck. I can't find the exact pose, but google donald duck mad and there are many. I do think this is a cool mascot/logo idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rich Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Though I wouldn't call it a rip-off, that wordmark looks very reminiscent of or inspired by (if not similar to) the late Denver Zephyrs/early New Orleans Zephyrs wordmark:In terms of ORIGINALS, here is one NO ONE ELSE has used. Specifically created in the early 60's by editorial cartoonist John Chase for a new all-boys Catholic high school in Metairie, LA, I give you the (Archbishop) Rummel Raiders!:I always thought it was interesting that they used a "cavalry" image for a Raider, rather than a pirate or viking. I also wonder how much of this was inspired by Civil War centennial fervor in the early sixties, and quite possibly the whole integration/desegregation thing. Rufus Raider (that's his actual name, there's a story behind it) looks very much like a Confederate colonel or general, and may have been inspired by a someone like Nathan Bedford Forrest... If that's the case, it's sort of ironic, because the school's namesake (Archbishop Rummel) was a force for desegregation.Interestingly enough, John Chase also designed another New Orleans-area sports logo a few years later: It is what it is.

matthew823 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 When I was in school, the top part of this was the de facto school logo. That was some 15+ years ago, now it appears they just used an O with the word Blazers over the top.Overland Trailblazers, Aurora, CO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rich Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Here's another one from the New Orleans area. In 2012, Landry and O.P. Walker high schools in the New Orleans neighborhood of Algiers merged, leading to Landry-Walker High School. Their mascots of Buccaneers and Chargers also merged into the pirate on horseback called the Charging Buccaneer. The logo below is from a band t-shirt; the helmet logo features the same drawing but with an "L" and "W" imposed on the left and bottom of the drawing... It is what it is.
