I’ve been all over this great state of ours: I know things. That being said, I’ve always been an aviation buff, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Adams Central Flying Jets. But why is Flying mentioned, isn’t that what they’re supposed to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gipper Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 2 minutes ago, Lysander said: Perfect. Just keeping it real, as keeping it can go wrong at times, though. Call in the subs: Bedford-North Lawrence Stars. Evokes too many memories of the greatest reality show in the history on TV: Battle of the Network Stars. How about an endangered species such as the Panda or Komodo Dragon? Penn Kingsmen. The school is coeducational, so their moniker is very inappropriate not to mention sexist. How about Big Fish? On the flip side, I think the Avon Orioles, Blackford Bruins, and Carmel Greyhounds are very classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gipper Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Washington Hatchets. Tradition-rich school in a great area of the state. But in our over-PC world, the word Hatchet is maybe a bit much. How about Wooden Teeth? Very original and outdoes other unique nicknames such as the Laville Lancers (a lancer, really?) and South Central Satellites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeqb Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Consolidation killed nickname creativity here in SW Indiana. The Poseyville Poseys merged into North Posey Vikings. Haubstadt Elites, Fort Branch Twigs, and Owensville Kickapoos became the Gibson Southern Titans. Mt Olympus Olympians consolidated to Princeton Tigers. Holland Dutchmen joined into Southridge Raiders. Oakland City Acorns are now part of the Wood Memorial Trojans. And my personal favorite, the Monroe City Blue Jeans consolidated into the South Knox Spartans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Around my original area we used to have the Star City Stars, Burnettsville Bees, Buffalo Bison, Bunker Hill Minutemen, Chili Polar Bears, Lincoln Railsplitters, Idaville Green Streaks, and the Twelve Mile Milers. Some old favorites are the Cory Apple Boys, Epsom Salts, Farmersburg Plowboys, Goldsmith Gold Bugs, Huntingburg Happy Hunters, Pimento Peppers, Raleigh Sir Walters, Rosedale Hot Shots, St. Paul Blasters, Smithville Skibos (???), Spencer Cops, Summitville Goblins, Swayzee Speedkings, Tippecanoe Police Dogs, West Baden Sprudels (???), and the White River Little Giants. https://fliphtml5.com/bumg/hobg This is a very comprehensive list of former and current nicknames.
