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.
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?
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.
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!”
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.
