In the late 50s and even into the early 60s they were the "Cincinnati Red Legs." That distinguished them from the Boston "Red Sox."

Buckeye. Your mascot is a small tree? Or is it the nut on the tree? I remember my grandmother making a buckeye candy. It was pretty darn good. But, a mascot?
BTW, my favorite nickname is Thundering Herd. It's unique. I've loved it ever since the first time I heard it.

For the prudes and some trannies, "Trojans" may be offensive.

Runner up might be the Stanford Cardinal. Named after the color, not the bird. And a tree as a mascot? I thought smart California schools would have come up with something better.

A skirt-wearing chicken named Cocky, whose entrance includes a shower curtain, would be my choice.

The South Carolina mascot is apparently a cross-dressing chicken. What's with the skirt?

A bird that basically eats bugs, worms or anything while trying to poke their head down in the soil.
Coots won worst mascot every time, imagine firing up the fan base with a rooster crowing!

The high school ranks have even more. In PA there is a town called North East (which happens to be in the extreme NW corner of PA - but that’s another story) and the high school mascot is the North East Grape Pickers. There are a lot of grapes grown in the area and a Welch’s processing plant there but that really doesn’t do much to intimidate opponents. Can only play imagine Welch’s must have had a hand in it….

Cairo, GA (pronounced KAY-ROW, not like the city in Egypt) is the Syrupmakers.
Don't know if it is still there but years ago the major production plant of KARO (pronounced like the town, not the city) SYRUP was in that town. (The syrup was named for the town, just spelled differently).
https://www.karosyrup.com/![]() Karo® Corn Syrups From gooey pecan pie to fudge, cookies and easy no-bake dessert, Karo® Corn Syrups have been a staple in the pantry of home bakers since 1902.

Knew about the town and the syrup but didn’t know the HS mascot name. You can’t make that stuff up.
