leopard88 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!!! This from a guy calling himself leopard!I think those three each have Leopard beat by about a 30-1 ratio if you include high schools (and I'm probably being conservative). Besides Lafayette, there aren't many others.

HedleyLamarr Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Bulldogs.They are fat, ugly, slow, and not particularly intelligent. Nice mascot. At least an Eagle can fly. At least Bulldogs can count to "four"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The 12 most used names of four-year college mascots: Eagles (74), Tigers (46), Bulldogs (39), Panthers (33), Knights (32), Lions (31), Bears (30), Hawks (28), Cougars (27), Pioneers (27), Warriors (27) and Wildcats (25). Never thought of Pioneers, Warriors, and Knights as OVERused. I see all three as vastly underrated, very strong team nicknames.Not that they are abundant by any means, but any team named "Dawgs" or other similarly intentionally misspelled names are overused, even if there is only ONE of them.

Discrim Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 heh, we're home to overused mascots here in Racine...my school, Case, is the Eagles (the company of the same name used an eagle emblem, so we do too), then we have (Park) Panthers, (Horlick) Rebels, (Prairie) Hawks, (St. Cat's) Angels and (Lutheran) Crusaders.

mkwing Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It's been quite a few years ago now (early '70s?), but I remember a Sports Illustrated article about the NCAA men's basketball tournament (before it was even known as March Madness). Anyway, there was a chance that year that the Elite Eight could have been the Wildcats, the Wildcats, the Wildcats, the Wildcats, the Wildcats, the Wildcats, the Wildcats, and the Wildcats.Didn't happen, by the way.

DEAD! Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I would define a term overused in terms of necessity. With that, I would say the most overused team nickname is the Krunk I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I totally agree about Wildcats being overused. When my hometown high school started co-oping in sports with our arch-rivals, they eventually decided to call themselves Wildcats, and I hated it. Bobcats would have been better because Bobcats isn't used as often.Other overused sports names are Eagles, Tigers, Cardinals and Bulldogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
