Unique Names

[GreenMan]

Hillsboro H.S. in Nashville are the Burros..not a mascot you see very often.

 

The best I've ever seen was on a large sign outside the stadium at Tarpon Springs, Florida..."Home of the Spongers"

 

The community is on Gulf Coast just outside Tampa & there is a large "Sponge" diving industry there.

 

I bet the teachers and coaches love those kids, they just absorb everything.

I know it's not "unique", but I have always wondered why Roane County High School and Coalfield use the nickname of Yellow Jacket. Roane County's, aka Kingston, colors are navy and orange(NO YELLOW) and Coalfield is orange and black(NO YELLOW).

I'll top that...Greenfield Yellowjackets, colors orange black and white

Lets try to be helpful in this thread by coming up with some original nicknames for schools that already exist. Maybe if the right people read these it might spur a name change.

 

Examples:

 

Maplewood Syrups

Oliver Springs Chickens

Bearden Ladies

Greenbrier Patches

Hillwood Burning Fireplaces

Goodpasture Patties

Harpeth Hall Ways

Centennial Celebrations

 

Any other ideas?

Can anyone tell me how Union City and Alcoa got their nicknames of "Tornadoes". Did an actual tornado come through those cities, causing destruction and despair, and they thought , "Hey! There's a good nickname!".

 

I bet there are some great stories behind many school's mascots/names(like the hairy hunks mentioned earlier).

How about the Forrest Redwoods?

and FYI, the Rockets were originally the Rebels, but it was changed MANY years ago. Even before the days of political correctness.
