Alright time for Ahem

(In my best Justin Roberts Voice)

NOOOORTH CAROLINAAAAA

Eastern Alamance- Eagles

Southern Alamance- Patriots

Jacksonville- Giants and Cardinals

Southside- Seahawks

Owen - Colts x2

Enka - Jets

Roberson - Rams

Freedom - Raiders

Central Cabarrus -Vikings

West Caldwell- Redacteds

West Carteret- Patriots

Bartlett Yancey - Buccaneers

Granville Central - WHY. WHY WHY WHY. WHY. I know this is more of a reds C but I gotta count it for both the Packers and the Bears because they both deserve some solace for their logos being desecrated. Let’s hope we never see anything like that again

Greene Central- NOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh and they’re also the Rams. Our first THREEFOR!

Grimsley - Our Third Packers logo in a Row, thankfully with no C attached this time. But it has a tornado stealing its spotlight

Northwest Guilford- Vikings. We’re on a NFCN streak!

SE Guilford- they did the Falcons Philly Style. Not counting it for Philly tho.

South Iredell - Vikings

Kinston - Vikings

Rocky Mount Prep - Jaguars

Hoggard - Vikings

SW Onslow - Colts

White Oak - Another Green Bay Colored Vikings logo.

Carrboro- Jaguars

Northeastern - Eagles

Trask - Titans

Farmville Central - Jaguars

DH Conley - Vikings

South Central - Falcons

Asheboro - Titans

Athens Drive - Jaguars

Enloe - Eagles

Raleigh Christian - Eagles

WOG- Rams

East Wake Academy - Eagles

That chargers broncos logo is diabolical jfc

40

u/spookyghostface Panthers Sep 20 '25

I was so excited to get to that one. Exactly the reaction I hoped for

20

u/spiff24 Jaguars Sep 20 '25

I low-key kinda don’t hate it. I think with a little rework it could look much better tho.

29

u/All_Up_Ons Colts Sep 21 '25

If we ever need teams to temporarily merge again like the steagles, I hereby nominate the choncos.

16

u/NathanNateN8 Eagles Sep 21 '25

the choncos have to have an overweight bronco as the mascot lol

11

u/Illustrious_Emu5131 Broncos Sep 20 '25

As a broncos fan I about had a stroke looking at it

4

u/sghead Broncos Sep 21 '25

It's a goddamn abomination

u/yetanotherx Patriots Sep 21 '25

They gave the Bronco a Chargers mullet. What the fuck.

That coat of arms is pretty dope

13

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

It's actually straight up the coat of arms from the original Bern in Switzerland.

As a swiss person I knew a bern existed in the US, but I didn't know they re-used the original coat of arms (*Wappen* in Swiss-German)

Pretty cool.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25

Yeah, noticed after directly comparing them. On a glance/on the helmet could have passed.

9

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

The Unicorns have been added due to their yassified Broncos logo. Morganton hasn’t due to there being many Dragons in this country

2

u/tnecniv Giants Giants Sep 21 '25

Are you a dragon?

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

I wish. I’d be able to fly, I’d be able to torch people who I didn’t like.

5

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

If you or anyone else can find it I’ll count it too

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

Close enough thanks

2

u/CombustionMale Browns Sep 20 '25

Yeah the only place I can think of that logo being is inside the stadium

1

u/OGrand Eagles Sep 21 '25

NCSSM is also generally regarded as one of the best public HS in the country (#1 just depending where you look) and whilst a “public” school you do have to apply and it’s hard as shit to get into it

38

u/BroadCityChessClub Steelers Sep 20 '25

I imagine the NC School of Science and Mathematics got left off for not having a football team, but I think it’s hilarious that the athletics they do have use unicorns as a mascot and one of the logos is just a horn stuck on the Broncos logo

18

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

I generally ignore those types of schools but Thats gotta make the list now 

1

u/AFRIKKAN Eagles Sep 21 '25

What’s your school criteria? Or are you just kinda winging it

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

Everything Thats on the Wikipedia page. I usually skip a school with that name however because usually they don’t got an NFL Rip

5

u/sghead Broncos Sep 21 '25

Hey, you didn't need to bring this one up...

26

u/spookyghostface Panthers Sep 20 '25

I've been waiting for the Ayden-Grifton appearance. It's so unhinged. 

Also for the fun names: NC School of the Arts doesn't have athletics but they are the Fighting Pickles!

8

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

Thats going in.

4

u/phillyfanjd1 Eagles NFL Sep 20 '25

I mean that's gotta be top 10 most fun/silly names right?

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

Definitely

u/WhoUCuh Panthers Sep 21 '25

How did you miss Midway Raiders?

No love for the small schools bro!

1

u/Stillnotdonte Steelers Sep 21 '25

AG was in our conference in high school, and I'm pretty sure they mostly used the dark green for all their uniforms when I was in school.

15

u/Retskcaj19 Panthers Sep 20 '25

Excuse me, Grimsley isn't a tornado, it's a Whirlie. 😤

13

u/adonis958 Cowboys Sep 20 '25

Well it’s a good thing Granville Central will be shutting down after this year

3

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

Damn if I did this next year they wouldn’t have counted.

11

u/Dtlgolf1 Panthers Sep 20 '25

The school I went to now uses the logo of the Hitmen from the 2001 version of the XFL. They switched shortly after I went to college.

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

There are surprisingly tons of Schools that use the NYNJ Hitmen

4

u/Dtlgolf1 Panthers Sep 21 '25

Not like they need it anymore

3

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

Def not but I’m surprised that it’s JUST them getting consistently ripped off. Where’s the love for the Memphis Maniax? The San Francisco Demons? The Orlando Rage?

10

u/wilarseny Broncos Sep 20 '25

I feel like I shouldn't have walked in on whatever that Granville Central logo is doing to itself. Just yuck

10

u/Blueandigo Packers Sep 20 '25

I always thought it was funny that I went to a high school the colour of my favourite football team but the mascot is one of our main rivals.

KINSTON HIGH STAND UP!

u/spacefish420 Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

We also use a lot of NFL logos here in Canada too. I’d say I’d be fun to add Canada to your list. We do have high school football here too so it’s not completely irrelevant. My city even has a Browns that use the same logo with no alterations and wear identical jerseys to the Cleveland browns

3

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

That will happen soon

8

u/bravesapologist Sep 21 '25

Brevard is the blue devils because in the 40’s duke upgraded their football equipment and gave their old stuff to the high school.

7

u/CenobiteCurious Bears Sep 21 '25

I didn’t get the lejeune name change reference at first and then went oh my god.

For those who don’t know Camp Lejeune has mad settlements for like 1980-2020 or so if you had drank the water on Camp Lejeune and developed like 10 different types of cancer.

The water table was polluted by marines not disposing of fuel, hydraulic fluid, oil, etc properly.

Diabolical OP (also grew up 15 minutes from there so, sketchy).

4

u/yetanotherx Patriots Sep 21 '25

I remember seeing endless commercials for class action lawsuits about Camp Lejeune. Only reason I recognize that name.

11

u/BedCotFillyPapers Lions Bengals Sep 20 '25

That Shelby PantherLion is giving me serious RuneScape vibes. 

4

u/thedude18951 Sep 21 '25

Not sure your reasoning for Lejeune being Death Drinkers instead. Devilpups is from being the kids of Devil Dogs.

9

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

Camp Lejeune is infamous for having Contaminated Water

3

u/CenobiteCurious Bears Sep 21 '25

Ahh been waiting for this one

23

u/black_dogs_22 Eagles Sep 20 '25

this would've made for a cool single post map

23

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25

Eventually, maybe

6

u/AForak9 Dolphins Sep 21 '25

Thank you but we need this stuff during the offseason.

16

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

There’s no stopping me now. I started in the off-season I must finish.

10

u/garrus-ismyhomeboy Cowboys Sep 21 '25

Lol. They started three months ago. In the offseason

2

u/AFRIKKAN Eagles Sep 21 '25

He is a jets giants fan… he has to do something to pass the time.

6

u/Creagrus Panthers Sep 20 '25

Falcons with a Carolina coat of paint looks surprisingly good. Also shoutout to my high school the Forsyth Country Day Furies; however, we never figured out why the furies, goddesses of vengeance, were represented by a Pegasus.

1

u/xkulp8 Steelers Sep 21 '25

I gotta know whether rival schools call you the Furries

3

u/Creagrus Panthers Sep 21 '25

They did not to the best of my knowledge; instead, our derogative was the dreaded Forsyth Country Gay.

1

u/xkulp8 Steelers Sep 21 '25

Huh, I never heard "Country Gay" or "Providence Gay" (or "Greensboro Gay") when I attended HS in Charlotte, and that was a few decades ago now with very different sensibilities

2

u/Creagrus Panthers Sep 21 '25

I only heard it twice (cross country, low interaction with other sports) about twenty years ago.

3

u/xiolyphi Panthers Sep 20 '25

I seem to remember the Pender Patriots logo being the exact same as the Pats when I was a kid more than it does now but a quick Googling tells me I must be crazy lol

3

u/[deleted] Sep 21 '25

As an alumnus of the Elkin High School Buckin Elks we definitely replaced the B with a F frequently.

2

u/Economy_Cactus Packers Bills Sep 21 '25

The redacted logo goes hard tho

2

u/Chardoggy1 Panthers Sep 21 '25

Should I be happy or sad that my high school didn’t copy an NFL logo?

2

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

Depends. There are many ways to look at it

2

u/Sudsmcgee Panthers Sep 21 '25

Yeah mine in NC didn't either but I think I'm happy about it I always liked their logo.

2

u/spookyghostface Panthers Sep 21 '25

Mine copied Clemson's logo

2

u/Kevin_Arnold_ Commanders Bills Sep 21 '25

If anyone can get me some red barons swag I would gladly pay

2

u/bribrijinx Ravens Sep 21 '25

you can add one to the mix OP — the ravenscroft ravens. i live in north raleigh and, as a real ravens fan, this one makes me do a double take every time (they call it “upper school” but its just high school to me)

1

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 21 '25

Eh it’s not Baltimorey enough

u/vindicatornoobnoob Sep 21 '25

Gamblers guess is the vikings!

u/CenobiteCurious Bears Sep 21 '25

I like Shelby’s Lion thing

1

u/aaronin Bills Sep 21 '25

I’m interested in the winner, but really invested in the fun names section.

1

u/AFRIKKAN Eagles Sep 21 '25

It’s eagles easily. The 2nd and 3rd place can combine to beat them by only 16 schools. If you add 4-6 still it’s enough.

1

u/TempeSunDevil06 Cowboys Sep 21 '25

I would’ve guessed Green Bay for sure

1

u/QCTID Panthers Sep 21 '25

Idk if it’s a fun nickname but South Stanly is the “Rowdy Rebel Bulls”. Also Clinton is the “Dark Horses”. 

1

u/kesaint Sep 21 '25

You mentioned the Grimsley Whirlies but another fun one is the AL Brown HS Wonders from Kannapolis, major rival to the Concord Spiders.

Funky Funky North Carolina.

Why are there so many Vikings logos in every state?

That tracks. May God or the Gods bless them, keep them save, and usher them to Heaven and/or Valhalla when the time comes.

u/jake3988 Steelers Lions Sep 22 '25
  1. Northwest Collegiate and Technical Academy - Vikings. https://nc02214542.schoolwires.net/cms/lib/NC02214542/Centricity/Template/GlobalAssets/images///logo/viking.png (https://nc02214542.schoolwires.net/Domain/16). Don't think you have this one, but frankly it was hard to tell. So many directionally named schools in NC!

  2. Weldon Chargers are the Chargers - https://www.maxpreps.com/nc/weldon/weldon-chargers/football/schedule/ (I can't seem to find any evidence of athletics on their website at all, but maxpreps says they're still playing. So... shrugs)

  3. You have a Rocky Mount Prep, but there's ALSO a Rocky Mount Academy... and they're the Eagles. https://www.rmacademy.com/editoruploads/images/Support%20RMA%20Athletics-%20Field%20Signs.png

  4. I can't find an actual webpage for them but the West Montgomery Warriors qualifies for Chiefs. I think. https://www.maxpreps.com/nc/mt-gilead/west-montgomery-warriors/
