Remarkably similar picture. But we were the Crusaders. We were the Bullock Creek Lancers. Not too bad-

No doubt the WORST team name ever chosen for a girl's sports team.............. I believe that is a family name. We had a town whose boys' team was the Rams and the girls' team was the Ramettes. (It used to be a law in Iowa that whatever the boys' team was named, the girls' team had to be that name with "ettes" added to it.)

I was and will always be a Beaver!!!!!
I remember a football game where the opposing team had a sign
" Lets bust those beavers!" Now I know, and that is some funny stuff.

I think the Orofino Maniacs win the best name contest. That one goes way back and was chosen because Orofino was home to a state insane asylum. They wouldn't get away with it these days.

The best (or worst) one is a college - Scottsdale AZ community college with the Fighting Artichokes. Their mascot is Artie the Artichoke. The mascot is a protest. When they built the college they had all the students in temporary classrooms. The admin envisioned being a sports power but the students wanted emphasis on academics. When they got a wad of money for classrooms, the admin instead built an elaborate gym. The students were less than thrilled. To placate them, the admin gave the them the power to choose their own mascot. The students chose the Fighting Artichokes as a protest.

So many schools with such offensive mascots...
With the ongoing march into the abyss of political correctness some suggestions might be in order.
Gay Gladiators
Terrible Twinkle Toes
Combating Queers
Terrific Transsexuals
Powerful Poofters
Dastardly Dykes
Genderless Giants
Ann Arbor could have the Explosive Achmeds
And somewhere in Colorado, 4:20 Puffers.

One of our rivals was named the Black knights. I can remember coming home from college and my buddy who worked for the local radio station invited me to co commentate a football game between us( the Trojans) and the black knights. Well throughout the night I was able to slide some one liners in such as
Those black knights are just usin the Trojans up and tossin em away
Those knights are really wearin the Trojans out tonight
Look there the Trojans have look to be as organized as apron dress on a motel floor
The Trojans really need to get some better penetration Hempfield Black Knights? In Lancaster county? That's where my son goes right now. Dale

The question arises as to why his testicals are in his throat, below his epiglottis. (Speaking of epiglottis, didn't the Giants have a running back named Epiglottis Anderson?)

Youngstown State University, home of the Fighting Penguins. Boy, if that doesn't instill the fear of God in an opponent, what does?

One of my favorites was the Belfry Bats in Belfry, Montana.
In Worland, WY the high school is the Warriors and the junior high was the Papooses until they changed it to Braves a few years ago.
