Duluth East and Hibbing Mascots - Another Version of Events
Here is another version of the story you tell above. Read the article and the notes at the bottom.Hard water fan wrote:Ever wonder why Duluth has a Greyhound and Hibbing has an anchor? A Cliff note in jersey history- Duluth's Greyhound was originally supposed to be Hibbing's mascot- home of Greyhound Bus (same logo). The Bluejackets was meant to be Duluth's- paying homage to the worlds largest inland port and its sea captains- otherwise known as Blue Jackets. A screw-up at the state back in the 30's when mascots were submitted for the newly built Hibbing High School resulted in the switcheroo that was never reversed. Worthless but interesting...

Re: Duluth East and Hibbing Mascots - Another Version of Eve
I was a little suspicious of that story, since East didn't open as high school until 1949. The building was a junior high before that, so it's entirely possible they had a Greyhound mascot dating back to the 1920s, but mixing up a HS with a junior high really would be quite the mix-up.pathtonow wrote:Here is another version of the story you tell above.

Jefferson wins this but it's close. Edina is right there.
The worst is Hermantown.
Worst: STA, lets be honest i hate STA and if you're going to shell out what $20,000 and recruit students to only fall short in sections, welp you better have a lot nicer jerseys than what they got
