Last week, we declared that the Laurel Hill Hoboes had the best high school nickname/mascot/logo combination. (A close second: the Chinook Sugar Beeters.) We invited readers to try to top these memorable logos, and try to top them you did. Here are 27 pretty great ones, followed by our two favorite submissions.

26. Yuba City Honkers (Yuba City, California); 27. Chattanooga Central Purple Pounders (Harrison, Tennessee)

But since we have to play favorites, here are the two logos we’d love to see on a hat or t-shirt or license plate cover:

meloneers

The Rocky Ford Meloneers (Rocky Ford, Colorado), submitted by johnlaf.

orphan-annies

And finally, the Centralia High School Orphans (boys teams) & Annies (girls teams), submitted by Kathleen & Tom.

Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions. Honorable mention goes to the Arkansas School for the Deaf Leopards, which is undeniably brilliant—I just couldn’t find a good picture of the logo.

  1. In Toledo, Ohio there are the Bowsher Rebels. The mascot is Rowdy the Rebel, a confederate soldier in full uniform.

  2. Some I should have submitted from my area, but I missed the bus:

    Devils Lake Satans (Devils Lake, ND)
    Oak Grove Grovers (Fargo, ND)
    Hope Hustlers (Hope, ND)
    Concordia Cobbers (Moorhead MN university)
    Shanley Deacons (Catholic school in Fargo, ND)

  16. Yay! Williamsport Millionaires! I graduated class of 1998!

    The middle school I went to in Williamsport had a really weird nickname/mascot too: Andrew G. Curtin Middle School Governors. I guess they were trying to top the Millionaires for weirdness.

  19. I grew up near Centralia. The team is called the Orphans because a coal mine accident killed many of the town’s men in the early 1900s. Actually, it could’ve been in the 1800s, but either way…yikes.

  20. Dude. Miss Porter’s FIGHTING DAISIES. That cannot possibly be beat.

    Ok, technically an unofficial mascot, but the school’s symbol IS a daisy and any Porter’s girl will tell you that the fighting daisy is where its at.

    And does it make it funnier that Avon Old Farms is an all boys boarding high school with the mascot of the winged beavers? And that they pronounce it wing-ed?

  22. not that this can compare to the nimrods, but i graduated from churchland high school as a mighty churchland trucker. our mascot was a kid in acid-washed jeans, a plaid shirt, and a giant bandana-ed trucker head (mckinley high norsemen-style).

  23. I wrestled and played football against the Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts.

    The high school across town were the ‘Redmen’. We had a big mural in our gym of our ‘Raiders’ attacking the Redmen, slitting their throats with axes, etc. They were made to change to the Redwings in about 1994 and the mural was painted over.

  24. I graduated from San Benito High School in Hollister, Ca.

    Our mascot was a Hay Baler. As in a farmer. Who bales hay.

    One of our favorite chants was “We are the Balers, the Mighty Mighty Balers!”

    I wish with every fiber of my being that I was lying.

    Also, this isn’t a high school team, but the IFL, the Indoor Football League, has, quite possibly, the best sports team name ever: Omaha Beef. Check them out at http://www.beeffootball.com/. I kid you not, their mascot is Sir Loin. There’s a picture of him here: http://beeffootball.com.ismmedia.com/ISM3/std-content/repos/Top/MAIN%20NAV/GAMEDAY/Sir%20Loin/DFEW0470.JPG.

  41. @Kay

    Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, IN, is also the Rebels with a confederate soldier mascot. Except it’s a Catholic school, so the students aren’t allowed to wear any articles of clothing with confederate symbols on them. Bit of conflicting interests if you ask me.

  44. This reminds me of the Scottsdale Artichokes. The name was the result of an ugly political battle that went on for years. The students wanted money to be spent on academics, while the crazy conservative Mormons who founded the school only cared about building major football and basketball teams.

  46. My high school used to play Avon Old Farms in sports. Trinity-Pawling School in Pawling, NY has since changed their mascot to the Pride (a lion is the mascot) but twelve years ago we were the Blazers (like the jacket that I had to wear every day to class). No visual mascot existed but on paper we were the Blazers. A contest was started by the school newspaper to make an image of the blazer (some submissions were a drawing of said jacket, others were of a horse). None of the ideas really stuck and most students were happier not really aknowleging the mascot.

  50. Somehow I missed this one.
    My high school was the Dearborn High Pioneers (mascot was a guy in a coon skin cap…but our colors were orange and black).
    Another high school in the city was the Fordson Tractors.
    The third high school in the city had to suffer with the name Edsel Ford (Dearborn, MI is the home town of Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company. Pretty much every school is named after some member of the Ford family) but at least they got the reasonable mascot of the Thunder Birds.

  88. I am a 1970 graduate of Taylor High School in Taylor, Texas. We were the ducks. That’s right, ducks. Our archives include a drawing by Walt Disney of Donald Duck in a green and white football uniform. And the junior high were the ducklings. It seems the school had a very effective football coach in the 1920′s whose name was Drake; his teams had crucial wins for football games played in the rain. Just seven miles to the west are the Hutto Hippos.

    The Chickasha Fighting Chicks
    The Claremore Zebras

    The Elk City Elk
    The Enid Plainsmen
    The Eufaula Ironheads
    The Grove Ridgerunners (MEEP MEEP!)
    The Haskell Haymakers
    The Hooker Bulldogs (Honest to God,Hooker High School is in Hooker, OK. We also have Howe High School in Howe, OK.)

    The Little Axe Indians (Little Axe High School is in Norman, OK, the home of OU.)
    The MacArthur Highlanders (There can be only one!)
    The Marlow Outlaws
    The Miami Wardogs (This is a bulldog dressed like Rambo, complete with ammo belt . . . and a sword and shield. And it’s Mi-AM-uh, not Mi-AM-ee.)
    The Midwest City High School Bombers (Exactly what you want to hear in a school, especially after Oklahoma City!)
    The Mill Creek Bullfrogs
    The Muskogee Roughers (Another bulldog, dressed as a oil rig worker, called a “roughneck.”)
    The Mustang Broncos (Mustang is the city. Redundant, no?)
    The Newcastle Racers
    The Paoli Pugs
    The Perry Maroons
    The Picher Gorillas (It’s funnier with the real pronunciation: PEEK-er.)
    The Prue Rockets
    The Sallisaw Black Diamonds (with nary a ski slope in sight.)
    The Sand Springs Sandites
    The Sharon-Mutual Trojans (in Mutual, OK. If you don’t get this one . . .)
    The Silo Rebels
    The Southmoore Sabercats
    In Tulsa:
    The Bishop Kelley Comets
    The Daniel Webster Warriors (It’s not actually weird, but the name makes me picture someone getting brained with an unabridged dictionary!)
    The Holland Hall Fighting Dutchmen
    The Will Rogers Ropers (Again, not really weird, but a cool tribute.)
    The Valliant Bulldogs (in Valliant, OK.)
    The Woodward Boomers
    The Yukon Millers (A apron-wearing guy with a sack of flour.)

    The Beaver Dusters just beat Hooker 57-8. Oklahoma wins. I live for hearing national broadcasters butcher the names of Oklahoma athletes’ hometowns. My favorite? The Oologah-Talala School System.

  380. I live in Centralia, Illinois and graduated in 2008. I would like to correct a few misconceptions and to expand on a few explanations.

    First, the Orphans name has nothing to do with the coal fire in Washington, nor the coal mine explosion in Illinois. (Although I do find it strange that two towns named Centralia have had coal related disasters. It also has nothing to do with A.L.Trout’s favorite movie.

    In response to the couple of people who claim they are from Centralia, yet claim the mascot is lame, you should be ashamed. For many years, the team was “the winningest high school basketball team in the nation” until they were surpassed in 2006.

    As noted by whittier, the team got its name from its early uniforms. They were old and mismatched and their opposing teams often remarked that they looked like orphans. The name quickly caught on, and mostly in spite of the comments, it was made the official team name. There is even a special area where the most dedicated Orphans fans sit called the “OrFANage.”

    My school’s mascot for a long time was just the Maroons. No picture, no mascot costume. Just everything associated with the school was maroon. A few years ago the student body voted on a new mascot. (We would keep the maroon part, but we’d be the Maroon Somethings.) The students chose “Maroon Devils” which is what the mascot originally was a very, very long time ago. (It was changed due to complaints from local churches.) The votes were then thrown out the window and the school went with what the football coach wanted, the Maroon Pride, (as in a pride of lions.) Then they put flames on the football helmets. Flames. Pride. Thus began a never-ending series of gay jokes from students of rival schools. -_-

  411. Did anyone mention the Neelin Spartans? Like, that is a truly demoralizing name for a football team if ever. The Neelin Spartans??

  412. My hometown had three rival highschools with the following mascots: Hillers, Prexies, and Big Macs.

    I swear on my life this is not a joke.

  413. John Hay High School in Cleveland used to be the Fighting Lawyers. About ten years ago they changed to the much less intimidating Hornets.

  417. No disrespect intended, but what says “I’m the most non-threatening image you could imagine, in a package that is going to roll over and break like fine china when hit” more than a Kewpie? What is the history of that as a mascot?

  418. Until the 1970′s, my high school’s mascot was the “Beanpickers.” There’s still a bench with the name in the courtyard.

  420. Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota:
    We are the Cobbers. Our mascot is an ear of corn with googly eyes named (drumroll…) Kernel Cobb. Our motto is “Fear the Ear”

  424. There are two high schools in Eastern Idaho whose mascots are in reference to potatoes: the Sugar-Salem Diggers (as in digging potatoes) and the Shelly Russetts (russett is a variety of potato).

  425. Kudos on the nod to the Deaf Leopards. Any Arkansan worth his salt always looks forward to a match between the Leopards and the Ozark Hillbillies.

  427. @ruth ann and jason english
    what a coincidence that my High School mascot was a Pioneer.
    Leavenworth High Pioneers, Leavenworth Kansas. A guy with a coon skin hat and a rifle (drawing). Kind of looked like Buffalo Bill Cody. Then it would kind of weird me out to go to basketball games and see an actual guy that looked like the drawing just standing there.

  429. My kids go to fountain Lake. We are the cobras, not so strange but the school motto is “we try harder”. How lame is that?

  430. Heh, I’m from a town about a half hour away from Centralia. My school enjoyed beating them :D But yes, those are bad representations of the mascots.

    And jeez people, lighten up. Centralia doesn’t have a sick sense of humor or anything about disastors. It has to do with the raggedy mismatched uniforms they had once upon a time.

  431. What is so bad about the Oilers? The Tennessee Titans were once the Oilers. The Galloping Ghosts should be #1.

    There is a high school in Fort Smith Arkansas that used to be called the Niggers…yah. They changed their name in 1979 and they are now the Panthers.
