31 Unbelievable High School Mascots

By Jason English |

Last week, we declared that the Laurel Hill Hoboes had the best high school nickname/mascot/logo combination. (A close second: the Chinook Sugar Beeters.) We invited readers to try to top these memorable logos, and try to top them you did. Here are 27 pretty great ones, followed by our two favorite submissions.

But since we have to play favorites, here are the two logos we'd love to see on a hat or t-shirt or license plate cover:

The Rocky Ford Meloneers (Rocky Ford, Colorado), submitted by johnlaf.

orphan-annies

And finally, the Centralia High School Orphans (boys teams) & Annies (girls teams), submitted by Kathleen & Tom.

Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions. Honorable mention goes to the Arkansas School for the Deaf Leopards, which is undeniably brilliant—I just couldn't find a good picture of the logo.
