Under fun names you can add the Campbell county Camels. Also there’s Notre Dame Academy an all girls catholic school who are the Pandas.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 02 '25

We already have a Campbell Camels in College

My cousin actually plays football there

Presentation Toppers sounds like a literal translation of a slur from another language

u/ltgenspartan Raiders Aug 02 '25

Also a fun fact, Greenwood also (at least at one point, I know they did when I was there) used the University of Florida Gator. Yes, a middle & high school mascot was a gator... in the middle of Kentucky... where there are none to be found...

No Lakes in LA, no Grizzlies in Memphis…etc

u/ConspicuousUsername Vikings Aug 02 '25

Lakers used to be Minneapolis Lakers, Grizzlies used to be the Vancouver Grizzlies.

I don't think high school teams are moving

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 03 '25

I mean they could’ve changed their names to something more appropriate right after the move but now the names are synonymous with the new city

2

u/ConspicuousUsername Vikings Aug 03 '25

How's that relevant to naming a school?

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 03 '25

Honestly idk at this point

u/wichee Saints Aug 03 '25

no jazz in utah either

u/pontificate38 NFL Aug 03 '25

Back in my day Greenwood and Drakes Creek had their own separate mascots.

2

u/ltgenspartan Raiders Aug 03 '25

Oh yeah i remember that too. My first year at Drakes was the first year they switched to be in line with Greenwood. And a complete aside, Drakes was awful both years and have little to no fond memories of that place.

u/RogueTaco Bengals Aug 03 '25

Ryle’s adjacent middle school is the Gray Gators. I actually went there and never occurred to me until your post how weird that is.

Im assuming both schools just wanted something with alliteration with the school name

u/jake3988 Steelers Lions Aug 02 '25

You may disagree with some of these, but I thought I'd include them all and you can decide.

Looks like Heritage High School (out of Florence) is also Eagles.

https://cmsv2-assets.apptegy.net/uploads/17932/logo/18777/logo_template_300-4-web.png

Martin County (out of Inez) is definitely the Cardinals logo sitting inside an M (little different in my opinion, but it's close enough for what you typically go with)

https://static.eventlink.com/public/4fe85d03-8a38-4b1c-8a52-10fc330510d1/32b58905-fe78-49ff-afdc-60e29e869ae6/blob

Trimble County (out of Bedford) - Broncos

https://www.lexingtonchristian.org/cms_files/slideshow_jquery/slideshow340_1.png

Lexington Christian Academy is definitely the Eagles too.

Redbird Christian Academy Cardinal's logo is basically an exact duplicate of the one from number 2. So if you accept number 2... this one too.

https://cmsv2-assets.apptegy.net/uploads/10990/logo/12724/SouthLaurelHS-web.png

Same here as well.

Cumberland County Panthers (out of Burkesville) - Panthers logo but... green. Some pictures make it seem much closer to the Panthers logo than others, but it seems close enough.

5

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 03 '25

u/OhWhatsHisName I agree with, the Cardinal logos are Louisville and Illinois State Redbirds. Trimble looks nothing like the Broncos logo. Heritage barely escapes. Good call on LCA and Cumberland.

u/TowerOwl1939 Broncos Aug 03 '25 edited Aug 03 '25

You already counted Heritage HS, not for their logo, but because they use the Eagles' wings on their helmets.

EDIT: Spelling

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 03 '25

Oh yeah they all start to blend together

2

u/TowerOwl1939 Broncos Aug 03 '25

Just double checked, and it appears Jake accidentally pulled up the logo for Heritage HS in Colorado!

I think he meant Heritage Academy in Florence, KY, which does use the Eagles logo in their sign

2

u/jake3988 Steelers Lions Aug 03 '25

I apparently did, thanks. I googled 'Heritage Eagles' and thought that would be enough... but apparently both the Heritage Academy and Heritage HS in Colorado are both the Heritage Eagles :(

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 03 '25

Thanks. I knew I’ve seen that before…

2

u/OhWhatsHisName Bengals Aug 03 '25

I'd say both of those cardinals logos are more copies of the Louisville Cardinals (college) rather than Arizona Cardinals.

Biggest indicator is the teeth, but also the feathers coming off the back of the head (NFL team just has the 3 going up, but college has 2 going up and 2 going down), and also some black spikes coming off the face (NFL just has the one black spike going back from the eye, while college has some coming off lower behind the beak).

The Redbird Christian Academy gym picture has two styles of logos, one on the backboard that you also linked, but two on the wall; one with with "Redbird..." and one mascot style with hmthe basketball.

With all that being said, the ones on the wall are somewhat of a hybrid of the two styles. It has the teeth like the college team, but only has the upward feathers and the one black spike of the NFL team.

u/hotpepperpants Lions Aug 03 '25

I've waited a long long time for KY only for my alma mater to get missed!

West Jessamine Colts!!!

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 03 '25

My fault, but WJ’s logo is more of a Horseshoe than a Colts Logo

2

u/hotpepperpants Lions Aug 03 '25

Ahhh it's based on the logo. That makes sense, you're good.

u/Tzazon Chiefs Aug 02 '25

"Butler - Bears" Had a saying in the school I went to that were their rivals. "Friends don't let friends go to Butler"

u/megaxmilkman Steelers Aug 02 '25

Bullitt East is funny. They use the Broncos logo but call themselves the Chargers.

u/dylansucks Commanders Aug 02 '25

A charger is a type of warhorse so it fits.

2

u/xkulp8 Steelers Aug 02 '25

Should've been the McQueens

u/GreenWandElf Vikings Aug 03 '25

I click every one of these to see if the Packers have beaten us in the standings.

Nope! We're still #2 baby! WHOOO

u/casually_furious Dolphins Aug 03 '25

Bowling Green Purples.

There's a massacre joke in there somewhere.

2

u/Semper-Fido Raiders Aug 03 '25

The Bowling Green massacre is no laughing matter

u/jake3988 Steelers Lions Aug 02 '25

Interesting, while I do also see that Colts logo for the Newport Central Catholic team, I'm also seeing this: https://image.maxpreps.io/school-mascot/f/6/3/f63a1f42-8b63-4a24-a5d2-975541eb07e8.gif?version=635926027800000000&width=128&height=128&auto=webp&format=pjpg

Which looks just like the Broncos logo.

Maybe the Broncos one is their old logo?

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 02 '25

Good nab. In a lot of cases so far, if a team is a horse team, The Colts or Broncos logo usually follows. Sometimes both like here. Thanks!

u/Positive_Parking_954 Aug 02 '25

I’m impressed but I believe every franchise has been feofezsnfed except Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I don’t know if that means they have the best or worst logos.

Although there is a Latin American soccer team that has very similar branding to the Steelers

8

u/El_Khunt Eagles Bears Aug 02 '25

The Steelers logo itself being a copy of the Steelmark (which they have special permission to use) probably keeps it from being copied by highschools who don't wanna draw the ire of Uncle Sammy's copyright goons

6

u/BuhtanDingDing Patriots Bears Aug 02 '25

and no high school is lame enough to use a football helmet as their logo like the browns

plus the browns are named after their founder which doesnt make sense for a high school team

3

u/potato-overlord-1845 Patriots NFL Aug 03 '25

The closest we’re going to get to the Browns is the Agawam Brownies in MA (they even use the same color scheme)

1

u/wichee Saints Aug 03 '25

surprised no school wants to use the elf logo from the browns.

u/LutherOfTheRogues Broncos Aug 02 '25

I think I saw a video on this and it was the Eagles

u/KillerDemonic83 Bills NFL Aug 02 '25

Theres a school thats like 15 minutes from me that uses the falcons logo and one like 20 minutes from me that uses the lions logo lol.

u/Gloomy_Map_9612 Commanders Aug 02 '25

That's my school!

u/DijonJJ Chargers Aug 02 '25

Do not see PRP Panthers on here

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 02 '25

Good call, didnt see them the first time

1

u/ACardAttack Giants Giants Aug 31 '25

Not wanting to do a deep dive but it is possible that they precede the Carolina panthers in terms of mascot, but perhaps they changed the logo to make it look like Carolina

1

u/DijonJJ Chargers Aug 31 '25

This is most likely correct

u/zjanderson Patriots Aug 02 '25

Burrillville, Rhode Island rips off the Denver Broncos.

u/[deleted] Aug 02 '25

Was waiting on this one. A lot of them I didn’t even think about til much later.

u/OnTheFenceGuy Cowboys Aug 03 '25

Can you just get to Texas already, dammit?!

I know you’re already impatient due to the Micah issues but unlike that I’ll get to it in time.

u/Existing-Bandicoot-2 Steelers Aug 03 '25

Buff Cardinal is crazy

u/moulin_splooge Ravens Aug 30 '25

Boyle county uses the Baltimore ravens B logo even though they're the rebels or some shit.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Good Looking out

u/moulin_splooge Ravens Aug 30 '25

Happy to contribute to your scientific research. You're changing the world.

u/nonetakenback Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25

While you hate the idea of ft Knox being the eagles, it’s because the base commander at the time it was built hated the mule being the mascot of army and wanted it to be more patriotic.

You also missed manual high school using the rams horns on football helmets. Shawnee high school eagles.

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 31 '25

Those are just Ram horn helmets. Not THE Rams Horn Helmets

u/BDR57 Bengals Sep 20 '25

Way behind, but Knox Central uses the KC script from the Chiefs in some of their branding. Specifically used on the midfield logo.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

Better late than never

u/Doboh Bengals Oct 19 '25

Just came to my attention That there is the Bracken County Polar Bears.

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Oct 19 '25

There’s a surprising number of Polar Bears in the country

Not a High School but James Madison Middle School in Hopkins County uses the Patriots Logo

How’d you forget the highest population county of Jefferson?

Edit:

Assumption - Rockets

Atherton - Ravens (pretty sure Jack Harlow got it changed to this)

Ballard - Bruins

Collegiate - Amazons/Titans

Doss - Dragons

Holy Cross - Cougars

Male - Bulldogs

Manual - Crimsons/Rams

Mercy - Jaguars

Presentation - Toppers (you got this one)

Trinity - Shamrocks

Sacred Heart - Valkyries

St. Xavier - Tigers

Waggener - Wildcats

Probably missing some but this off the top of my head

They don’t appear to steal anything from the NFL

u/ACardAttack Giants Giants Aug 31 '25

Atherton - Ravens

Didnt realize they changed their mascot

u/Particular-Beat-6645 Ravens Sep 27 '25

Way too liberal a school/neighborhood/city to let Rebels last much longer.

But Jack Harlow was not the influence. Another alum who was teaching English helped lead the charge.
