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

i went to a quaker school and we didnt have a mascot because we didnt have team sports because we didnt believe in competition

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.

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!

That's the awesomest thing I've ever heard of.

I keep forgetting you're from Pella, goole. Those kids I ran into with the wooden shoes in the park must be starting college now.

yeah i'm looking at what i can see online about my hometown and it seems pretty different already *nostalgic sigh*

goole, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 21:37 (twelve years ago) link

my hs mascot was variously a pirate or a raccoon

my college mascot was...a color

I live in Des Moines, a good friend from high school followed his wife to college at Central, and they worked/lived at a motel there for a while.

There are some weirdo conservative things they ran into, like people scolding you for mowing your lawn on Sunday or post-dating checks written on Sunday so it would look like they weren't shopping on Jesus day.

A really nice coworker of mine is from Pella. He unironically has a Creation Museum shirt and coffee mug that I choose to ignore.

But I love dutch letters! Tulips are pretty cool.
