There's a school in my town that has the Walnut as their mascot. :roll:

WTF, NS?

a walnut...ah the fighting walnuts

that is even funnier than bannana slugs

Better get that "fightin" out of there. They wanted to be non-competitive in nature, and only had intramural sports. The Walden Walnuts....or Nutjobs as we called them.

UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs -- didn't go there, but I think it might qualify as a stupid mascot.

The Banana Slug is the perfect mascot for UCSC. Go ahead and try and name something else that would work better for UCSC.

My high school (RIP, it later got merged into another district) was the Golden Flashes. Never knew what that was supposed to be.

SCHOOL MASCOT: KEWPIE DOLL

Let me spell it out for you...

What the hell is a kewpie doll?

What did you think I was asking? The thread is about mascots. I know what a school is... duh.
 
High School - fort collins high school LAMBKINS. whatever the hell a lambkin is, no one knows. our mascot was basically a gorilla, that they changed the colors of and added sheep ears to. it was quite weird and of course a constant running gag.

High School was a clipper ship...yes, our mascot was a big boat. I don't remember some guy ever wearing a boat suit though. But it was still stupid.

College was a beaver. Not to bad, beavers are weird but they're kind of cool and at least they can bite like a mofo.

Oregon State?

My college mascot was Donald Duck. They had a deal with Walt Disney that allowed them to use Donald. But they called them the Fighting Ducks. OK, do you really think of ducks as fierce fighting machines??
 
UC Irvine... the fearsome Anteaters!!! 🙂

I always wanted us to play a school whose mascot was/would be the Ants. Or Fire Ants. Or Termites. Anything an Anteater could/would eat. Now that would be a contest! 🙂

The Tartans: 1 : a plaid textile design of Scottish origin consisting of stripes of varying width and color usually patterned to designate a distinctive clan

They got a piece of cloth as their mascot.
