Weird Team Names / Mascots?

Post by sasquatch260 »

My son and I follow western PA H.S. football and get a kick out of it when teams have interesting names. We often wonder why the schools chose them. Here are a few we find interesting:
St. Marys "Flying Dutchmen" 
Karns City "Gremlins" (do they mean the little furry things that multiply when they get wet?)
Williamsburg "Blue Pirates"
Any school named after the Devil!?  :ymdevil:
Please let us know more and if you know why these interesting mascots were chosen. Thanks!!

I have seen these HS teams play on ESPN several times but found their mascots interesting/humerous:

-Cal Poly Jackrabbits
-Bishop Gorman Gaels
-Glenbard West Hitters

Clever, Mars being a planet and North East being in grape country. I would love to hear, "Grape Pickers on 3! 1, 2 ..."

Well a Bearcat is from Southeast Asia. You should've gone with Man-Bear-Pig. He's half man, half bear, and half pig. "but Mr. Gore, that's three halves!" Yea, I know, he's pretty big.
