What's your mascot? (High School and College)

Inspired by all of the other HS and Uni threads around here, I figure this is the next logical progression.

What are the mascots of your High School and University/College?

L’Anse Creuse High School - North Crusaders

Western Michigan University Broncos

Before being the Broncos, WMU was known as the Hilltoppers. If you ever think of Michigan as a flat state, come to Kalamazoo and find out why that name fits.

High school - Trojans. Booooring. But I made up for that in college when I went to UC Santa Cruz, home of the Banana Slugs.

Highschool: Hawks

Junior College (CEGEP): Cavaliers

University: Martlets (mythical footless birds) for the girls and Redmen for the boys

By the way, in case you’re curious about what a school can do with merchandising when its mascot is, well, a slug, I have this sweatshirt and get comments on it almost every time I wear it. Mostly “what the heck is that on your sweatshirt?” kind of thing.

Gah, I swear I’m not trying to drive up my post count, I just can’t edit. I meant to add, but mostly people just want to know what the cute little figure is, and is it from Dr. Seuss somewhere?

High School: Scorpions

College: Terrapins

High School: Centaurs

College: Highlanders

Grad school: Trojans

High school: Knights. The women’s teams were the Maidens. And the marching band was the Marching Knights. Barf.

University: Cowboys.

Elementary School: Eagles
Middle and High School: Blue Raiders

My high school did not have a mascot. I don’t think it’s a very common practice among Australian schools. I’m pretty sure my university didn’t have one either.

High school: Eagles…most overused team name ever.

College: Waves. Well, that’s the name anyway. I haven’t actually seen a real mascot yet, but the emblem has a Poseidon-like character on it.

Highlands High School - Bluebirds
University of Cincinnati - Bearcats

The Twin Rivers Royals. Mascot: A knight. Unfortunately, the closest thing we got to a knight costume was some kind of silver cloth with a red plume on the head. A friend of mine remarked “He looks like a chromed-down chicken!”

HS: a Trail Blazer, in fact, Daniel Boone himself. I’m saddened to report that his trusty rifle has long since disappeared in a fit of PC BS.

College: The Nittany Lion

South Summit Wildcats
Antioch Panthers
University of La Verne Leopards

I can’t escape the felines, it seems.

Twin (Elementary) Tigers
Allen (Elementary) Mustangs
Smith (Jr High) Raiders
Chillicothe (High) Cavaliers
Wittenberg (Univ) Tigers

…so, full circle, tigers chasing their tails.

High school: Farmers (this was a farming town… 100 years ago.)

College: Bears

High School: Blue Devils
Junior High: Red Devils

Yes, it was just that creative.

College: Flyers, I guess, although I’m not sure I knew that when I was there.

High school - The Spartans. Kind of amusing when I tell people here, since the word “Spartan” is used in Japan to mean “a stern, humorless upbringing, usually involving lots of violence.” They probably think I went to some kind of prison reformatory.

College - The Crimson. That’s it, just a color. Kinda dull.

HIgh school- The Chargers

University- The Ichabods
