Being a fella that wanders in the field of "Amish Sim City", making up my own fake maps, I also draw in the schools, school districts, etc.
For the nearly forty (40) years that I have been drawing De Noc and all of its' suburbs I have drawn in plenty of high schools.
Being a "list person" I compiled info about each school, including their sports team nickname. I actually involved my family as I developed names for all of the schools. However, the choices they made (and mine, too) were somewhat "old school"......Bears, Bobcats, Tigers, Wildcats, Lions, etc.
This goes against the grain in the "location" of my city.....the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Check these REAL names
out for UP schools:
Gwinn Model Towners (Gwinn is home to a former Air Force Base.....filled with homes that all look the same.)
Ishpeming Hematites (Hematite is a type of ore?)
Cedarville Snows (Many, many islands in northern Lake Huron are here and the islands are called "The Snows")
Kingsford Flivvers (What is a flivver?) (two v's not a w)
____
My high school? The Panthers, another common name.
Any other unusual names out there?
