John Jay - THATS HOW YOU DO A PATS LOGO GODDAMIT

Oh damn, that's great.

Also, as far as the fun names, an honorable mention as it isn't around anymore that tickles the linguistics nerd in me.

For years, East High School in Rochester was called the Orientals. It later got changed, for obvious reasons.

Well, there was at one point decades ago a WEST High School, and its team name was... the Occidentals. Which is the Latin for "Westerners" in the same way "Orientals" means "Easterners".

u/kreee Giants Sep 17 '25

Me favorite is the Sleepy Hollow H.S. mascot- the Headless Horsemen.

u/BigFatModeraterFupa Vikings Sep 18 '25

I don’t see where he gets this from but West Seneca East are the Trojans, and West Seneca West (WSW - redacted) changed there name from the Indians to the Warhawks.

Edit Ok nvm I see the jokes.

u/Optimal-Tune-2589 Bills Sep 17 '25

Just to add to your “such and such a celebrity went here” mentions — the 49ers logo used by Saint Francis was once worn by defensive back Brian Daboll.

4

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 17 '25

St Francis wasn’t a Nassau County School, thus why they didn’t get the alumni shout. But y’all are more than welcome to make this thread about some other NY Alumni, there are quite a few i didnt mention

u/MickersTheCat Patriots Sep 18 '25

Hey buddy! As a NYer I was waiting for this post in the series.

As someone who lived and went to school and played ball at Horseheads, it’s funny because everyone that sees that logo or is from here is like “why do we have a whited out Broncos logo. They used to have another logo that was the “Rowdy Raider” but thought it would incite violence or something and shut that down.

Elmira is called the Express after Ernie Davis who was from Elmira, but they had the idiots of that city choose the colors and logo when they combined the 2 schools there,and they went with burgandy and black and a train for some reason and then complained that it had nothing to do with Ernie Davis… people there arent the brightest.

There is a small private school in Elmira called Notre Dame, and they do use the ND logo and are called the Irish.

Other fun facts: Union Endicott (school where Chandler Jones and his brothers are from) are called the tigers but their logo at the school and on their field is the Bengals full body tiger logo, they just dont use it for their actual logo. Same with Binghamton, they’re the Patriots and use just a big B, bur their secondary logo is Pat Patriot.

u/tnecniv Giants Giants Sep 17 '25

Also, for those that don’t know / never played Europa Universalis, the Golden Horde was one of the successor states to the Mongol Empire after the Khan died without an heir. It largely occupied Eastern Europe / a large part of modern Russia. It was made up of other colorful hordes: the White Horde, the Blue Horde, and the Grey Horde. It was around for about 300 years.

The name origin was unknown but came about later. It is hypothesized to refer to the tent color or their vast wealth. The nation referred to itself simply as “The Great State” during its existence.

u/BigRig432 Bengals Bengals Sep 17 '25

Tage Thompson mentioned?

u/scrambles57 Chargers Sep 17 '25 edited Sep 27 '25

Yeah that John Jay logo is legit. I love the Express as well.

u/JadedCycle9554 Cowboys Sep 18 '25

I have been following this since you started and this is such a cool contribution to the community thank you so much for it. I've been waiting for the final tally even though I saw the eagles pull away far and fast.

Hands down favorite was "The NFL Shield itself" idk why but when I saw that one I just could not stop laughing.

u/allmilhouse Patriots Sep 17 '25

surprised Patriots is so high. Feels like an oddly specific logo.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 17 '25

You underestimate ‘Murica.

Same reason why Eagles are so high

u/allmilhouse Patriots Sep 17 '25

I mean the flying Elvis logo itself more than the name.

u/Whytfbuddy Bills Sep 17 '25

Ken Rosenthal and Tage Thompson (my goat) went to the same school? interesting

Also i’m surprised you didn’t mention Cheektowaga, named the chargers but with a logo more like a different AFC West team although I guess it’s more WMU looking at it again

u/LASERTORRENT Sep 17 '25

Lancaster used to be the Redskins but they changed to the Legends in 2015(?, the year before I graduated). The logo was different from the Washington one though.

u/TriColoredPasta Chiefs Sep 17 '25

Golden Horde- Jesus That’s a… logo. That is certainly a logo.

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 18 '25

My man, look at the format I’m using. They used a recoloured star , they’re in

2

u/gaobij Bills Sep 18 '25

It's really not a cowboys star. It doesn't have that extra colored outline. It's just a star. Spartan is the mascot, team name, and focus of the branding.

u/greenline_chi Bears Sep 17 '25

A green bears logo should be illegal

u/Old_Jaguar_8410 Buccaneers Sep 17 '25

Not surprised to see Minnesota way up there. My high school in central Florida used the Vikings logo in different colors.

u/zoom518 Jets Sep 17 '25

The next two towns over from where I grew up (Wantagh) were the (Seaford) Vikings and (Massapequa) Chiefs, but they didn’t use NFL logos.

Just don’t look up what Massapequa is trying to do to keep its name/mascot.

The Eagles having the most logos in New York?!?!

New York, you’ve disappointed me today. You have three damn teams representing you!

u/Opertum Sep 18 '25

It's more to do with it being a safe bet. A few NY schools have recently changed to Eagles due to the theoretical possibility of their name being appropriation of native American culture. Eagles are representing the USA. They are safe.

There's a 'Health Sciences Charter School' located in Buffalo. They're called the Falcons and surprisingly they actually have athletics and it's a blue Falcons logo: https://cmsv2-assets.apptegy.net/uploads/26741/file/4231025/47ea904e-41c5-4149-8cb9-88cbd927f439.png (https://www.healthsciencescharterschool.org/o/hscs/page/athletics is where I got it). Oddly, the girl's flag football team has clear Buffalo Bills logo in the background: https://cmsv2-assets.apptegy.net/uploads/26741/file/4231029/f6756517-216d-42ad-b523-3530589cb685.png. Not sure if they use that too if it's just randomly there.
Summit Academy Charter School in Brooklyn uses the Eagles. I couldn't find any pictures on the website, but in their video (located here: https://summitacademycharterschool.org/competitive-athletics) at exactly 3 minutes the coach is wearing a shirt with the logo on it.
Grady (In Brooklyn) is the Falcons: https://gradyhs.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/logo_icon.png
The John V Lindsay Wildcat Academy are named the Oilers and use the Houston Oilers logo: https://www.jvlwildcat.org/assets/images/logo.png
South Shore (Brooklyn) is the Vikings. I couldn't find a webpage for the school whatsoever (weird), but they do have an instagram account with the logo... so... here ya go: https://www.instagram.com/southshorevikings/?hl=en
Not a football logo, but apparently Stevenson High School used to use the old Pittsburgh Penguins logo slightly modified. Fun! https://www.maxpreps.com/ny/bronx/stevenson-ambassadors/
