i never liked being a viking and then i went to college at portland state where i was STILL A VIKING
― difficult listening hour, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
everywhere, that's where i'm a viking

vikings are sort of a creepy mascot; sorry minnesota

youve never heard of the infamous viking raids of hawaii i guess

Hahah the Whitehall Vikings had the exact same mascot/logo but in West Michigan. Is there only one set of HS logos in the WORLD, like one wildcat, one anchor, one viking, one...whatever. I know that it's the same everywhere, I KNOW it, and yet whenever I see that damn viking, I get a little shock of recognition.

follow up: did thor heyerdahl go to hawaii ever
Oh sorry, I confused Montague's mascot (a wildcat) with their fight song ("Anchor's Aweigh"). I guess no one is The Anchors lollllll.

haha my high school football team really should have been called the anchors

there was a rural HS near me built near a freeway called, sadly, "I-35 High School". their mascot is the Roadrunners. it's even in a town, technically!
― goole, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
just as long as they use jonathan richman as their fight song.

the university of hawaii teams used to be called THE RAINBOW WARRIORS and sort of still are, but they replaced the rainbow with a stylized H ft. hawaiian iconography and allowed each sport to choose their own name and there was this huge complicated fight over it between 1) the university, 2) hawaiian activists opposing the use of the iconography and 3) football players who had been complaining for years about being called the rainbow warriors

i went to a quaker school and our mascot was a quaker
― burberry kush (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 25 May 2011 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
i went to a quaker school and we didnt have a mascot because we didnt have team sports because we didnt believe in competition
― ban drake (the rapper) (max), Wednesday, 25 May 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
a quaker is not a v compelling mascot for competitive contact sports, i mean

I went to school in a town named after a particular animal, and the school's mascot was... that very same animal.

i think it sounds adorable. the mascot should be tiny anthropomorphic clogs or something.
