Team names/mascots

The thread yesterday about UND getting rid of their "Fighting Sioux" name made me think of other team names that are not politically correct.
My favorites are the Dickinson Midgets (North Dakota) and the Orofino Maniacs (Idaho). Orofino actually has a mental health hospital.[;)]
Anybody know any other good ones???

In central Illinios is a town called Pekin. For years they were the Penkin "Chinks". We used to go to the "*" rink to rollerskate.

About 15 or so years ago they became the Pekin "Dragons" after some public outcry over the name.

Also in Illinois we have the Fisher "Bunnies" and the Tuteplous "Wooden Shoes"

My high school was the Indians

Towards about my junior/senior years there some morons tried to change it. They conveniently forgot that the name was in fact changed to honor a Native American football coach who was retiring. From what I hear he really was a touch "war chief" when it came to football and did great things for the team.

Colonel Plink

Brush (Colorado) Beetdiggers.

I can't imagine who that'd "insult".

The high school in the college town near me changed their name from the Indians to the Bruins. Their cross county rivals are the Blue Demons.
Go figure.

I know it. But, I had too.

Belfry, Montana has the "Belfry Bats." Gotta work on that school pride thing, but at least the PC police should leave them alone for a while.

The Fall Creek, Wisconsin, high school team is the Crickets. Made no sense to me till somebody reminded me the town name is pronounced Fall Crick.

I've forgotten what the team at Pea Ridge, Arkansas, is called, but the sign at the football stadium says Pea Bowl.
