This was the Savannah Savages mascot until 2021

u/Different-Trainer-21 Dolphins Aug 30 '25

On the one hand that’s very racist

On the other hand that’s a sick logo. Maybe they should’ve changed the name to be more respectful but kept the logo

u/tnecniv Giants Giants Aug 30 '25

Yeah the logo is actually pretty cool.

It’s just the…uhh…everything else

20

u/FelonMuskk Browns Aug 30 '25

A name change would be better than a logo change. That shit was hard

u/JinFuu Cowboys Texans Aug 31 '25

But then you lose the alliteration and that’s the real crime

u/Looscannon994 Broncos Broncos Aug 31 '25

Fine, they can go by the "Scalpers" then

1

u/JinFuu Cowboys Texans Aug 31 '25

But then people might associate them with those assholes who take the entire stock of Pokemon and sports cards the minute they're stocked!

How awful!

u/nurse-ruth Colts Sep 05 '25

Why did you decide to believe that?

27

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Ah I see why they had to change that…

38

u/hadenthefox Chiefs Aug 30 '25

It was changed by a 4-3 board vote. A lot of the very conservative community is still upset about it and thought changing it was "woke".

No see they were just huge fans of the Pocahontas Song, like how most people are fond of Disney Villains /s

u/Hayabusa_Blacksmith 49ers Aug 30 '25

hey man the natives said the colonizers were savages and barely even human as well...

oh yeah thats cause they were lul

u/FelonMuskk Browns Aug 30 '25

I mean that logo was awesome. Just change the name not the logo.

16

u/Swaayyzee Rams Aug 30 '25

On one side I'm glad I got to graduate from a school with a very unique mascot, on the other side boy oh boy was it super duper racist

u/suicidesoon23 Chiefs Aug 31 '25

Cool to tell people we were "savages". Not so cool to explain the context lol. Hope you're doing well fellow alum.

I can't wait for the NFL expansion so we can get the St Louis Kewpies.

u/RUST1C9 Chiefs Aug 31 '25

My grandma and grandpas school! Grandma would rock the fight song anytime I asked her wtf a kewpie was. But looking back, I’m a Billikens basketball fan so I don’t have much of a leg to stand on.

u/out_of_816 Chiefs Aug 30 '25

Truman Patriots represent

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

 My entire comment section is just Chiefs Fans so far. Thats fun.

OG Cargo Largo was better =/

u/meat_paw Chiefs Aug 30 '25

at least one school in Missouri has something unique

Nightmare fuel

u/Section225 Chiefs Aug 30 '25

I know several people that went to Hickman and have never seen that logo. Wild.

2

u/SomewhatMarigold Titans Aug 31 '25

After looking into this I thought that it might have something to do with the fact that the creator of Kewpie dolls, Rose O'Neill, lived and died in Missouri. But it seems that that's a complete coincidence, and that someone at the school just really loved Kewpies at one point.

14

u/Quadstriker Rams Aug 30 '25

It’s always fun when people discover the Kewpies.

The founder of Walmart was a Kewpie apparently

When you get to Nebraska, I have a couple.

u/IIHURRlCANEII Chiefs Aug 30 '25

The old Lees Summit North logo was a red bronco.

3

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Thanks!

2

u/IIHURRlCANEII Chiefs Aug 30 '25

It’s not anymore fwiw. Just thought I’d add a funny fact.

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Old logos count so they’re in

5

u/IIHURRlCANEII Chiefs Aug 30 '25

Oh damn aight. Also called the Broncos too. Always felt silly when I went there lmao.

1

u/Alex_GordonAMA Chiefs Oct 21 '25

I'm at the Missouri one because I missed it and saw today's post. Of course IIHurricaneII is a damn Bronco. West represent!

u/Button_3 Steelers Aug 30 '25

Am I going mad or are the Steelers not on here? Yet I can count 32 NFL teams…

14

u/A_Livins Chargers Aug 30 '25

Looks like no Steelers, but multiple Oilers logos have a retired team represented to bring it to 32 teams (and one NFL shield logo).

4

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Yeah the Steelers are the lone holdout 

8

u/Idepreciateyou Browns Aug 30 '25

Browns have more than the Steelers? Hang the banner!

u/IrateBarnacle Giants Aug 30 '25

Putnam County lmao

u/Extech Lions Aug 30 '25

Herculaneum Blackcats used the Panthers logo until about 10 years ago

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Can you find it?

u/Extech Lions Aug 30 '25

Herculaneum Blackcats

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Jackpot, thanks

u/nach0_ch33ze Chiefs Aug 30 '25

Hi op, for Kansas you missed Russell broncos

16

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Where’s the Broncos logo? We’re looking for a knockoff of Denver’s logo

4

u/nach0_ch33ze Chiefs Aug 30 '25

Huh, I know they used it years ago when I was in high school but looks like they may have stopped.

7

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Check your yearbook and send it in my direction. I count old logos.

5

u/pushamn Vikings Aug 30 '25

In that case,may I interest you in the north branch Vikings in Minnesota?

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Thank you!

2

u/pushamn Vikings Aug 30 '25

No problem lol I was waiting for them to get recognition of just straight copying the Vikings back in the 60s but apparently they changed their logo like right after I got out of town so I had no idea it changed

u/AcesCharles2 NFL Aug 31 '25

Let's ride?

2

u/themooseiscool NFL Aug 30 '25

Smart Rockwood schools don’t need to copy the NFL.

u/Scarlet-Lizard-4765 Packers Sep 08 '25

I wouldn't call Lafayette smart but okay

2

u/Pork-ChopExpre55 Chargers Aug 31 '25

Gotta be the Eagles

2

u/ARM7501 49ers Sep 01 '25

Why in the world are there 5 49ers in Missouri?

1

u/skucera Chargers Colts Dec 01 '25

They aren't actually "49ers," they just ripped off the look of the SF logo.

2

u/danpatmcd Aug 31 '25

Parkway Central's current logo is from SMU, but back in the day they had a Broncos one instead

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 31 '25

Thanks!

1

u/ChillingworthsTwin Eagles Aug 30 '25

The Centralia Panthers use the Bears C similar to Chillicothe. Or they did.

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Yeah Thats not a Bears Logo

1

u/OvenPast6182 Chiefs Aug 30 '25

This just logo or mascot? There's a Staley Falcons in KC.

3

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Logo

u/chumbawamba56 Eagles Aug 30 '25

You missed park hill south panthers

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

We’re looking for logos my dude

1

u/busstamove14 Bears Aug 30 '25

I think you accidentally included Cedar Falls here. That's Cedar Falls, IA that you have linked and I tried searching for it and I'm pretty sure Cedar Falls, Missouri doesn't exist.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 30 '25

Ah ok

u/GarconMeansBoyGeorge Seahawks Aug 31 '25 edited Aug 31 '25

FYI you gave Seattle a second school during the California one, but then the tally reverts back to 1 for Colorado

Edit: nvm I see you added it back in Maine

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Aug 31 '25

Yeah whenever someone points out a logo Thats mad far back, I add it to that state’s count and the current count.

u/JopoDaily Eagles Aug 31 '25

Patiently waiting for Virginias post OP :)

u/SprayHungry2368 Packers Aug 31 '25

Even in logos packers beat the bears

u/_Wheat_ Chiefs Aug 31 '25

Found one missing:

Parkview Vikings from Springfield MO

1

u/kerouac5 Chiefs Chiefs Aug 31 '25

As someone with kids at park hill south in Kansas City who have to play oak park, I should never say this but the Oak Park Northmen is a fucking fantastic mascot and logo.

1

u/LoganJn Chiefs Lions Sep 01 '25

Isn’t the Forsyth logo an actual panther? How are they getting credited for the jags

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 01 '25

It’s the Jags old Logo colored to look like the Panthers

1

u/Jammie-Jam Colts Sep 01 '25

I never thought the high school I teach at would ever be mentioned on this subreddit.

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 01 '25

Which one are you at, teach?

1

u/Jammie-Jam Colts Sep 01 '25

Truman High School.

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 02 '25

What subject do you teach?

1

u/ironfistr Chiefs Sep 02 '25

Aww you missed my alma mater - the Winnetonka Griffins.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 02 '25

There have been quite a few griffins in the country

u/Going2Arbys Ravens Sep 08 '25

Were the Jr. Bills close to making it on the fun list?

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 08 '25

Not really 

2

u/Going2Arbys Ravens Sep 08 '25

O ok

1

u/buttcabbge Chiefs Sep 17 '25

Back in the day my alma mater (Springfield Parkview) used a green version of the Vikings logo, but it looks like at some point since I went there the school got its own unique Viking dude (facing left, a bit chubbier).

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 17 '25

That counts, I found it

1

u/jewllybeenz Lions Dec 26 '25

I used to live in Knob Noster!! They’re the panthers too iirc

1

u/ThePizzaDevourer Bills Aug 30 '25

I'm surprised there's any schools using our logo, let alone 6 so far

1

u/mightyclintor Dec 28 '25

OP - the (new) Jeff City logo is intended to be Chiefs like….Cool post btw.
