Geoff Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My former(by former I mean I'm a graduate) high school's nickname is lame? the Salem Lions. However, our inter-county rivals were the West Washington Senators and the Eastern Musketeers?both of which I've always thought were kind of original.I believe you meant "intra"My cousins high school is the Solon Comets.

Pacificoduck Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My old high school was the Wolverines, colors maroon and gold, actual wolverine for a logoMy new high school is the Bulldogs, black and red, pretty boring. We do have a connection with the Gonzaga Bulldogs since Mark Few is from here, so we use Gonzaga's logo, still pretty weak though IMO.you go to Creswell? I'm a graduate of Cottage Grove.

B-Rich Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Lots of boring names in the New Orleans area-- Tigers (3); Eagles, Wildcats, Bulldogs (several), Patriots, Cougars (2), etc.And it's getting moreso. Post Katrina, with the shake-up in the Orleans Parish school system, we lost the Lawless Pythians in the lower 9th Ward, and the Fortier High Tarpons (with a great two-tone blue and silver scheme) became the Lusher Bulldogs (red and blue). And in Plaquemines Parish, the Boothville-Venice Oilers, Port Sulphur Bronchos (unusual spelling, at least) and Buras Wildcats became the South Plaquemines Hurricanes (the second team with that nickname in the metro area).We still have a few very unusual and not too common ones:McDonogh 35 RoneaglesSt. Augustine Purple KnightsLutheran GryphonsMandeville SkippersGrace King Fighting IrishDe La Salle Cavaliersand not too far away, in Bay St. Louis, MS, the St. Stanislaus Rock-a-chaws It is what it is.

DelayedPenalty Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My first half of my freshman year I was a Gemini (a split high school; 7-8-9 in one, 10-11-12 in the other, so we were "twin schools"), then I moved and became a Dreadnaught, and in college I became a Cardinal. Two original names, and a fairly generic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My HS in NY was the Wildcats, our arch-rival was the Golden Eagles, we also played the Panthers, Colonials, and Waves. Not a lot of original team names. One that sticks out was the Bonnickers (West Hampton, NY). Back when I was in HS, a few friends and I tried to come up with a new nickname, based on the local Nuclear Plant, We were going to push for Mutants, but Atoms was popular. If only The Simpsons had been around, we could have been the Isotopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats cool. By rule I'm supposed to hate you so sorry haha. It was weird going from Eugene to Creswell, its a major difference. Definitely a tighter nit group, Cottage Grove seems to be the same.

Perfect Zero Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My high school had the name "Warriors," but I think it excuses itself for having a kick butt logo. My junior high had the name "Eagles" with the Brigham Young logo.The cool one though when I went to Jason B. Little Elementary School, known as the Little Rascals.

burgundy Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 My High School was the Yellow Jackets. I always thought we should have been called the Commodores, since our town was named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Come to think of it, Hazards would have been a pretty kick-ass name.The league is composed of:-Panthers-Cougars-Generals-Bobcats-Wildcats-Blue Devils-Bulldogs (soon to be replaced by another Wildcats)My college is definitely unique though with Golden Flashes.

Vetsson Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Inh the region where I grew up, just outside Ottawa, ON... The capital of Canada, the local high school teams were:Smiths Falls Redmen (Since changed, to RedHawks)Carleton Place Bears and Golden Bears (Seniors)Almonte Orangemen, then changed to Thunder, but basketball changed to "Naismiths" (the inventor of basketball was born within 5 miles of town)St. John Catholic High School Spartans Sharbot Lake Panthers Notre Dame Catholic High School Flames Perth Blue DevilsThe 'established teams' all have/had colors in their names... The new schools do not. The Catholic schools are under 20 years old, so their names are less expected... Although, Spartans for a Roman Catholic school always befuddled me, and I was there from 9-Grad.

tBBP Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 One nickname I haven't seen in here yet is the Highlanders. (Unless I missed it.)That one belongs to Baldwin High School in Baldwin, PA (just call it Pittsburgh--you could spit from campus and it'll land in the "city limits"). Serves baldwin and Whitehall boroughs. With a cool logo to boot. And Paul Lukas' favorite color scheme: purple and white. *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...
