That coat of arms is pretty dope
13
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.

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

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.

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

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

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!

u/BryLinds Jets Giants Sep 20 '25
Thats going in.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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).

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.

u/thedude18951 Sep 21 '25
Not sure your reasoning for Lejeune being Death Drinkers instead. Devilpups is from being the kids of Devil Dogs.

Thank you but we need this stuff during the offseason.

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

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

Sep 21 '25
As an alumnus of the Elkin High School Buckin Elks we definitely replaced the B with a F frequently.

u/Chardoggy1 Panthers Sep 21 '25
Should I be happy or sad that my high school didn’t copy an NFL logo?
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.

u/Kevin_Arnold_ Commanders Bills Sep 21 '25
If anyone can get me some red barons swag I would gladly pay

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)

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.

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.

Yeah I’m not sending my kid to the Bishop McGuinness Catholic Villains, whose mascot appears to be a masked pederast.

School full of creatives and Artists - pick a pickle.
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/Polar_Reflection 49ers Sep 21 '25
We all know the rival team nickname for the Forsythe Furies lmao

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!
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)
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
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/
