January 28, 20205 yr So this should go well. My son's school has been the "Rebels" for decades. However, the term is considered by some to be somewhat regressive in a progressive era. This is California after all. So they are taking suggestions on an alternative mascot that still embodies the spirit of courage and creativity, but does not conjure up images of secessionist slavers. Let's have it.
January 29, 20205 yr Just now, EE2B said: Fighting paper straws But don't they want to promote the use of paper straws? Shouldn't it be The Fighting Plastic Straws? Or maybe Fighting Global Warming? That's an intimidating mascot.
January 29, 20205 yr It’s a private school right? Devils or Demons would be hilarious suggestions. What’s the school called? Name flow is important, the Klein Cain Hurricanes out front should’ve told ya. Some criminally underused animal mascot names: Crocodiles, Gorillas, Silverbacks. Major lulz that some pansy-ass Cali private school ever had the name “Rebels” to begin with.

January 29, 20205 yr Houston St. John’s School went from the Rebels to the Mavericks. IIRC it was in the 80’s.

January 29, 20205 yr Rebel Alliance, with Admiral Akbar as your mascot Narwhals, obvious mascot (or the one from elf) Spartans, not the green & white but WiIl Ferrell & Cheri Oteri

January 29, 20205 yr Savages Asians in the Library or hordes of Asians Fight song for either of those is already written... OHH Ching chong ling long ting tong? OHH’
January 29, 20205 yr Serious question: why? Is it referencing the Bear Flag Revolt or am I missing something here?This is obvious but the Rebel name, especially in the South, referenced the Confederacy. Everyone knows that, right? Being in CA, not sure what it means, but it sounds like the school doesn’t want to get involved in the debate. Easier to change the mascot. St. John’s School in Houston went with Mavericks to try to placate alums with a name that sort of meant something similar to a rebel.
