High School:  the Trojans.

The lame thing about it was the letter jackets.  The shoulder patch with the mascot came in two varieties -- brown-skinned "black" Trojan or pinky-beige skinned "white" Trojan.  This so bothered a Jewish friend of mine that he protested by selecting the black Trojan.  He grew up to be a rabbi. 

College was the California Golden Bears.  GrrrrrrrRAH!

In high school we were the Maret Frogs.  The funny part about the name is that we were originally a French school.  It was better than our arch-rivals, the Sidwell Friends Quakers.  It was hard to be intimidated by a mascot who espouses non-violence.

High School: Snider Panthers

College: Purdue Boilermakers

Colors were black & gold for both. 

Our high school mascot was a black panther and our girl's cheerblock would cheer "PANTHER POWER!" during games.   Was a bit surreal for an all-white, upper middle class high school during the late 60's - the same era of Bobby Seale, Huey Newton and the Black Panther Movement.

HS - The Rams.  To this day I still laugh when I remember running onto the basketball court as the "Lady Rams."

Uni - I've been a Husky and a Cougar, which are fine.  Finishing up my undergrad as a "Spirit."  All women's college, what can I say?

Jr. High-Jaguars (guess which schools were right next door to each other?)
HS-Red Devils
Undergrad (current)-Saints

Hey when did you go to UMass?

I claim fame to two of the lamest mascots ever, IMO.  Undergrad school had a beaver for a mascot (oh, believe me, there isn't a joke I haven't heard about that one). Grad school wasn't much better--we were the gophers.

What were yours?



Crusaders and Pioneers Only way you can make those any worse is by adding horrible uniform colors to the mix... So they did. Crusaders had yellow (nick named bananas) and the pioneers decided to go with baby blue and yellow. Ironically they had pretty good sports programs despite the efforts to hurt recruiting with these choices.
