[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I think my favorite school team name is the team in Funky Winkerbean - the Scapegoats.
I have to go with the traditional favorites: the Banana Slugs. My local favorite is Oglethorpe's Stormy Petrels.
I never thought the Commodores really cut it as a team name.
A long time ago, my high school team name was the Pigeons (after the Pigeon River that flows through town). It was renamed The Truckers, because Clintonville is where the four-wheel-drive truck was invented, and they still make firetrucks there.

Heh. My high school was the Commodores. Green and white. I hated that school.
College, black and gold, the Underachievers. No, wait, that isn't right...
I have no memory of my high school colors. College was navy and gold, grad school was blue and gold. All the UCs are "themed" although personally I think Santa Cruz kinda cheats with the blue and orange. Now my school colors are crimson and gold.

My sister's alma mater! Where everybody majors in Saving The World And Being Nice To People.
Hahahah about chapparal. That`s hilarious.
Our school colors were blue and gold in high school, and our mascot was Tornadoes. Which, you know, while I was cowered in the hallway while one passed, I was not overawed by the choice.
Our college colors were orange and black, although we had a pretty much nonexistent sports program (except for baseball players who had carte blanche at the school).
My school colors have been blue and white; green and white; red, white, and black; green and blue; buff and blue; and now blue and white again.
My first college, Roanoke, were maroon and white. Their mascott was originally The Dasies but had over time evolved to The Maroons (the maroon being a fictional sort of cat that looked vaguely like a bobcat).
My second college, NYU, were violet and white. They were the Violets. In time they evolved into the Bobcats based on their library (funded by Elmer and Mamdouha Bobst)'s card catalogue which was, naturally, called the BOBCAT.
So I have attended two schools where shameful flower mascots were discarded for straw-grasping felines. It may the only two where this would be possible.
Middle school: maroon and gold
High school: red, white, and blue
College: green and gold
Grad school: crimson and white
My current school is blue and gold. The staff all wear yellow/gold shirts every Wednesdsay and spirit wear every Friday. Takes the guesswork out of picking clothes 2 days per week. Also, the school gives us spirit wear. A new shirt every year. This year's is nice. It's a black polo with our blue and gold logo on it.
High school colors were red and white mascot: Sea Hawk Somewhere in the last 35 years they have added black - I don't know why.
College was green and gold as befitting a natural resource school (go Fighting Lumberjacks!)
