Yup, as I was saying I was very fortunate to travel extensively this summer:

Texas—New Braunfels Unicorns 

Florida—Key West Conchs

Michigan—Watersmeet Nimrods and Ironwood Red Devils😉

Illinois (although it’s 5 minutes away)—the Marco Polos, New Trier Trevians, and Teutopolis Wooden Shoes.

 

I’m aware we have some cool ones like Cavemen, Millers, and Spark Plugs but just want to bring a few more into the fold…

 

Time for my daily meds!

Snack time!  Give me the Freeport, IL Pretzels with the Monroe, WI Cheesemakers providing the sauce…

 

Much more appetizing that a hot dog…

You've obviously never had a Costco dog for $1.25 plus a free coke.

I actually have, but might more inclined for the Cairo, GA Syrupmakers.

Maybe.  Are there actually lakes in Lakeland?

Personally I find the generic Tigers, Panthers, Bulldogs, etc.  lazier.

Spot on!  I can’t stand the overused Bulldogs, Cougars, Eagles, Indians, Panthers, Spartans, and Trojans.  Heck even, my Alma Mater of South Newton has many teams within of state nicknamed the Rebels.  Then again, Roncalli HS ditched it a few years ago.

Creativity!  Cavaliers, Owls, Zebras, Bronchos (with a H), Kougars (with a K), Argylls, Jimmies, Mavericks, Railroaders—dazzle me!

 

Or how about some new ones?  Conquistadors, Jackalopes, Kangaroos, Ocelots, Scorpions, Tarantulas…

[hhpatriot04]

We have Spartans, Crusaders, and Patriots ... What about Mujahadeen, Hajjis (those who went to Mecca), Colonists?

Actually Coachella Valley HS has the Arabs as their handle, while our own Pendleton Heights HS is nicknamed the Arabians…

Yes, I know an Arabian is a horse…

[Gipper]

Other favorites of mine include the La Porte Slicers, Avon Orioles, Edgewood Mustangs, Switzerland County Pacers, and the Vincennes Lincoln Alices.

 

Lest we never forget the Martinsville Artesians, Attica Red Ramblers, and the Rensselaer Bombers.

Bison and Kingsmen are plural...

You're right though (i.e. "Stanford Tree").

I’m a fan of nicknames that protect and govern our beloved land—Cadets, Generals, Minutemen (plural mind you😉) Senators, Governors.  But no Presidents?!?  And don’t anyone bring up the Lewis Cass Kings…

Lest we never forget the Bombers, Satellites, Jeeps, and even the Rifles, Rockets, and Troopers from schools that are no longer with us.

I'll take the Chili Polar Bears as the best among the now closed schools.

@Gipper Or how about my alma mater? The Olympians.
