Found a nice link on Scout with the most unique mascots from each state. Some of my personal favorites:

Aniak Half-Breeds (Alaska)-- Can't believe that has not been changed in today's environment. Then again-- it's in Alaska.
Yuma Criminals (Arizona)- See above
Laurel Hill Hoboes (Flordia) And another
Cairo Syrupmakers (Georgia)- I like this one. However, I figure it would be a school in Vermont.
Frankfort Hot Dogs (Indiana)- I am guessing they have some nice promotions in the concession stand.

Wow, I think that actually rivals Sandites. We get asked what a Sandite is a lot so I know how this feels...but what is a PamPack? lol

My dad was in the military so I spent the last two years of high school at a Department of Defense Dependent Schools. Our mascot was the Hadites.

Nice! Now I feel like we're sports cousins or something.

I went to school at schools run by Dayton Independent School District in Dayton, Texas. The district colors are purple and white.
Stephen F. Austin Elementary (at the time I went, preK-2nd) - Broncos
Dr. E. R. Richter Elementary (at the time I went, 3rd-5th) - Broncos
Colbert Elementary (at the time I went, 6th; also the former high school for the town's black population before desegregation. They were known as the Tigers.) - Broncos.
Woodrow Wilson Junior High (again, at the time I went, 7th and 8th) - Ponies. (This is the only instance where Broncos isn't used in the entire district, but still a variation of the overall horse theme.)
Dayton High School (9th-12th) - Broncos.

College:
Lee College (Baytown, Texas) - Rebels (Named after Robert E. Lee.)
University of Houston - Cougars

Lake Jackson Intermediate Panthers
Brazoswood Buccaneers (for those that frequent Buccees this is where it came from)
Westlake Chaparrals
SMU Mustangs
Austin Community College - Almost College College mascot

Nothing really special there, except the mascot had to go through a "redux" a couple of years ago... The old "Seal" had a sailor cap, a rolled up t-shirt with a noticeable pack of cigarettes in the sleeve, an anchor tattoo, and a "five O'clock shadow." A real bad-a** looking seal.

When the mascot was redone a couple of years back, the stubble disappeared, the cigs disappeared, and the tatt was switched from an anchor to "RRR"...which stands for "Readiness, Responsibility, and Respect."

The students also used to cheer "Hork! Hork! Hork!" at their athletic events...which has also apparently had the kibosh put upon it.

The best one happens to be in WV: The Poca Dots.

Elementary: Pike...yes, like the fish. (consolidated w/ another district, no longer exists)
Middle: Cougars (consolidated w/ another district, no longer exists)
High School: Hatchets (Bad Axe High School) and we competed in the Greater Thumb Conference...I kid you not.

Undergrad: Bearcats (Cincinnati)
Grad Degree #1: Wildcats (Northwestern)
Grad Degree #2: Spartans (Michigan State)

-Elementary: Dalmatians
-Middle (6-7): Knights
-Middle (8): Cougars (New school...we got to "name" the new mascot, but nobody I know ever voted for the "Cougar")
-High School: Raiders (Another new school, but I don't remember anyone asking our opinion on this one...)
-College: Road Runners (The name came from the early years of my college, which was scattered across several buildings in Downtown Denver, which saw students running across roads to get to and from classes... But even when a campus was established, when I was there, you still had to run across a six-lane road to get from one-side of the campus to the other. And even across Speer Blvd. to get to a couple of buildings.)

Ah yes, the Metro State Road Runners. You know you're in Colorado when the university has a microbrewery inside the student union. Yes folks, this is awesome. Check it out on your next visit to Denver.

Represents Christianity, and yet nobody seems to be able to make this apparently MASSIVE conceptual leap: "What's a Purple Wave?!". SMDH

Theres a Catholic high school in Memphis that is the Purple Wave as well.

My son went to the US high school with the oldest high school band. It is a long established school southern Catholic school that is part of the Christian Brothers group:
Christian Brothers Purple Wave

However, my favorite of all time is a small university in Russellville AR. The Arkansas Tech "Wonder Boys". I'd like to go to Russellville once just to see how the "Wonder Boys" take the field.
