Two here in Colorado that I find funny are:

Fort Collins "Lambkins"
Brush "Beetdiggers"

 

[ChubbyHubby]

New York University - The Violets.

Well it's just as bad as my Alma Mater the Maroons. Of course the Violets and the Maroons are in the same college league - semi-ivies.

Which high school is the lambkins? Brush kind of makes sense, but they both make me giggle.

I love the original names as I get sick of the same mascots announced at competitions (Lions, Eagles, et al)

 

[OK!]

It's a common nickname, but boy, did I get sick of the condom jokes when I was a Trojan in junior high.

 

[Diznotyzed]

Tillamook (OR) High School - Cheesemakers

Of course, this is also the state with the Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers.

 

[m&amom]

Our team is the Boomers and our mascot is a covered wagon. Thats right a covered wagon it is on all our shirts, letter head everything and sometimes even at games.

babytrees, the Lambkins is the mascot for Fort Collins High School. It makes me giggle every time I hear it--doesn't sound very fierce, does it?

 

[Evil Genius]

The AHL team the Toronto Marlies. I was recently at a game they were playing and I was anxious to see what the emblem on their jerseys were. Just a Maple leaf with two crossed hockey sticks. So the question remains, WTH is a Marlie?

ahhhh...that's why I haven't heard it...they don't normally participate in the same marching band competitions. Thanks for the local giggle.

[Forevryoung]

How about dem COLTS?? Yuuuuup a baby horse (are they vicious or what??)

And those fierce Terps! (my mascot at Maryland after the Colts in High School )

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

Maryland Terrapins. Doesn't sound like a very fast game.

My high school mascot was a Trojan.

The Savannah minor league baseball team has The Sand Gnats, and Gnate the Gnat is the mascot.

 

[nmmom95]

Rowan University Profs...the mascot is an owl.

 

[pigletgirl]

Hmm, thats pretty bad....

A high school in oklahoma is called the Hooker Horny Toads. Hooker is the name of the town....

 

[pigletgirl]

It's a common nickname, but boy, did I get sick of the condom jokes when I was a Trojan in junior high.

That was my mascot in elementary school!

 

[P.I. Squirrel]

There used to be a minor league hockey team in Macon, GA, called the Whoopee. Go on, say 'Macon Whoopee!'.

 

[Val]

Our new semi-pro baseball team here in Central Illinois will be the Normal Corn Belters. Normal is the name of the town......and no, we aren't normal!
