I went to school in Fisher Illinois, home of the Bunnies. The new logo they are using does make it look like the Bunnies have rabies.

Dang! There must be some good pretzels nearby to name your school after them. Or was it a community vote, like boaty mcboatface?

Bunnies are quite the fierce logo.

What is a thread without a beer logo?

This makes me think of cult classic Donnie Darko.

Gotta go with the University of Akron Zips - my favorite school. "Zips" stems from "Zippers", which was a rubber overshoe made by the BF Goodrich Company in the 1920s/30s. A campus-wide vote then made the mascot Zippy, a female kangaroo.

In the mid-2000s, a marketing campaign began to make everything about the logo/nickname/mascot more intimidating. "Fear The Roo" was the obvious choice. But in the end, we still have a female marsupial for a mascot, and are named after a freaking overshoe - not a regular shoe, but an overshoe.

San Jose had the Prune Pickers in the early 1900s. It would be funny if you could move up from the Prune Pickers to the Prune Packers. Like A to AA.

Extending that concept, if there was a baseball senior league, one team could then be the Prune Eaters. If they got on a winning streak, the local beat writers could say the team won "regularly."

I've seen a few high schools mentioned. I graduated from Gwinn HS in Michigan. The Modeltowners. Very intimidating.

On a professional level, down the road from Austin, the San Antonio Missions reside. Their mascot is the Puffy Taco.
