Top 7 Cool Colorado High School Team Names

By Mark Haas

DENVER (CBS4) - Here is a list (in alphabetical order) of the best* Colorado high school mascots.

*best = creative, unique, comical

1. Alamosa Mean Moose – Are moose mean? I like to think moose are friendly, but a mean moose is a good mascot.

2. Brush Beetdiggers – Dwight Schrute would be proud.

3. Colorado Rocky Mountain Oysters – No comment necessary.

4. Fort Collins Lambkins – I went to FCHS so I had to include the lambkins. What is a lambkin? Common answer is a baby lamb, but isn't a lamb already a baby sheep?

5. Lyons Lions – Maybe not creative, but what else would have been better? Honorable mention to the Bear Creek Bears.

6. Rocky Ford Meloneers – The picture says it all.

7. Standley Lake (Westminister) Gators – It's not like there are a lot of Tigers, Pirates, Trojans, or Spartans in Colorado and that hasn't stopped high schools from using those mascots, but Gators in Colorado? Why not.
