Norwalk truckers! (thanks Marc!)
Speedway Sparkplugs
(in Washington state) the Richland Bombers (mural on their gym)
Their motto is "proud of the cloud"
the above, is a Hesston Swather. So is the below, to give some idea of WTF this is all about
The Hesston Swathers take their name from the farm implement that's still made in their central Kansas town. A swather is sort of like a combine, but different. Here's what the Merriam-Webster dictionary has to say: "A swather is a harvesting machine that cuts and windrows grain and seed crops; also: a mower attachment that windrows the swath."
and after more than nine decades as the Kingsford Flivvers, Breitung Township schools finally have once they get to call their own. http://www.ironmountaindailynews.com/news/local-news/2017/10/proud-to-be-a-flivver/
Clyde Fliers, St Paul Flyers, and Lake Flyers (thanks Marc!)
They're imaginative and fun, so many of the mascots give one the impression the decision was made according to what was least likely to get the school district sued and how to keep the school board meeting short. 'Wildcats?' Okay with me, meeting adjourned.
ReplyDeleteIn our area, we have the Norwalk, Ohio Truckers, the Norwalk St. Paul Flyers and the Clyde Fliers. I guess they couldn't agree on the spelling. According to Wikipedia, Willow Run Michigan had the Flyers, before they merged with Ypsilanti schools. That makes sense because of the bomber plant there.
ReplyDeletethe truckers and the flyers? ! Sweet! I need to look up the imagery that goes with those! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteThe history of Norwalk has some interesting facts. My inlaws lived in the next town, Milan, and I didn't know some of these things -
Fisher Body was started as a carriage company in Norwalk.
Walt Disney's mother was born there.
Paul Brown, famous football coach and team owner was born there.
Norwalk Truck Line was once the largest privately-owned trucking company in the world.
