I think the "Alices" are by far the worst on that list.

I lived in Huntington, West Virginia from 1991 to 1994, so I remember the Poca Dots.

True story:

The minor league Akron Little Indians signed a new lease with the city and built a new stadium in 1996. As part of the renovations, they decided to rename their team. The group of people in charge of this decided to name the team in honor of Judith Resnik, an astronaut from Akron who died in the Challenger space shuttle disaster. So there was great anticipation the day of the unveiling of the new team name. The entire town was giddy with excitement. The curtains were pulled back and the name was revealed to be ..... the Akron Blast! And if that wasn't enough, the mascot of the team ran out onto the stage. The mascot was a dog. The dog's name: Kaboom.

 

And that, my friends, is the worst mascot of all time.

This is all I can think of when I see the Winged Beavers.

Did the person in charge of that decision go on to be a sports writer for the OC Register?

Huh, I've been so familiar with, so used to Vincennes Lincoln being the Alices the nickname never really occurred to me as being bad. The band does play Alice Cooper songs, for what it's worth.

 

The Frankfort Hot Dogs is a great nickname though.

Go look up the mascot for the schools in Polo, IL. Or if you're lazy, see spoiler.

 

Let me know when you stop laughing.

 

 

It's the Polo Marcos

 

[shnsajax]

I new a bunch of people from New Braunfels HS. At least their colors are not pink and white.

 

Here in Lewisville the HS is the Fighting Farmers.

[Roast]

I'm kinda disappointed the Logansport (Indiana) Berries weren't on that list.

 

Seriously. The Berries?

 

And with a name like the Berries - their mascot, of course, is a cat. That looks exactly like Felix the cat. FTH? :-s

I linked this article to some people, and one said his middle school should have been on there. the mascot was the NaviGators...signified by an alligator driving a boat. :lol:

It's college, but Rhode Island School of Design deserves at least some recognition. The hockey team's mascot: The Nads. The basketball team: The Balls

 

Here's a pic of "Scrotie", the mascot that appears at athletic events.

Tuetopolis, IL Wooden Shoes I always thought was weird.

 

The Johnstown Johnnies actually has a nice ring to it.

So, who convinced you that was real? There's absolutely no chance.

 

Upon further review... that's... real?!

Athletics are not the focus of campus life but do provide a rare sense of school spirit. RISD sports have fluctuated over the years with the RISD archives containing photos of football, baseball, and basketball teams spanning the very early 20th century. Yearbooks and alumni reveal the RISD Student Association funded basketball teams throughout the 1950s and 1960s that were called the 'Nads'. An ice hockey team formed soon after using the same name, 'Nads'. The ice hockey team played through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s with little record of other athletics. In 2000, a new basketball team was formed under the name 'Balls' to complement the ice hockey team, each with its own slogan: "When the heat is on, the Balls stick together", and "Go Nads" (deliberately sounding like "gonads"). Currently, these are the two most active and organized sports teams at RISD, with basketball the only sport played at varsity-level competition. Together, both teams provide a rally ground for students, faculty, administration, and staff alike. Intramural level teams round out the offering in rock climbing, men's and women's soccer, volleyball, frisbee, flag football, skiing and snowboarding.

In 2001, the Nads created the infamous, and unofficial mascot, "Scrotie," a man-sized penis wearing a red cape. RISD students claim Cooper Union and Pratt Institute as their archrivals in sporting events, and the two hold an annual basketball match in both Providence and New York.

My cousins college team was the Peacocks. Although it made for some great shirts when they played the Beavers. I think I still have a "[expletive] pound beavers" shirt around here somewhere.
