imawalkingcorpse Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 U.M.K.C. Kangaroos. I hate the new Buccaneers logo. Pewter was boring in 97, even more boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoE38_Concepts Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 One of my local high schools' moniker is the X-Men, a cool play off their name, St Pius X. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 And another one I've only now been reminded of... Milwaukee's Pius XI Popes...and Lady Popes. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... And here I always thought the only high school with this name was in Clintonville, Wisconsin. Also in Wisconsin are the only two schools with the nickname of "Purgolders" ...Milwaukee Washington and Madison East. The name is a reference to their purple and gold colors, and both borrow heavily from LSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our high school has used the Truckers name since 1946. I'm guessing we were first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only half kidding, but Norwalk should update its logo to Bob Motz’s truck shooting out flames and burning down the Night Under Fire billboard.

Discrim Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Appropriately enough, though, the two Purgolders use different mascots: Washington's is a husky (take a wild guess why) while East uses a puma.

In all seriousness, the Cal-Irvine Anteaters. Bonus points for the fact that their logo vaguely looks like an anteater (at least to me) despite being just interlocking letters.

Not the greatest logo, but you get the idea... I live in Ohio and had no clue that Norwalk was known by that. I was reading an article online and I saw that logo in the background of the picture that was taken and thought "I've seen that logo somewhere before, but where?" Now I know!
