After this week, we will issue the FINAL 8 Mascots and go from there, THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL, just for fun. 

Please help us out!

I like Copperheads or Rattlers. If you become the Rattlers you buy all the baby rattles at Wal Mart and take them to your games at Big Stone Gap.

Herd is the best imo, not a big fan of "Thundering Herd" though. Direct ripoff of Marshall isnt cool. Herd kinda works like Ridgeview Wolfpack,  all together as one. 

 

Brown and Gold, thats the color combination youre looking for

[old_school_blue 213]

Coal Canyon Miners.....that is a classic.

[SXSW 367]

This is too easy...The Bucs, you could go with pirate theme or the wildlife theme....or the money theme with $ on the helmets and have Ty Dolla $ign music to pump up the crowd.

Elk View Thundering Herd...

Brown and gold looks like baby poo...have you ever seen Mt. View (WV) play...it's awful.

[GMan 3,063]

Or just go simple and call them the Buchanan Co. Miners and the uniforms should be black and sliver.

[VHSLhelper 376]

oh NO! We are NOT gong to be Yogi-south.

Thats grey and its terrible (I despise grey as a main color, I HATE teams that use it when its not a school color) along with a terrible shade of yellow.

 

Now this is where its at. Brown and a nice Mustard yellow, Western Michigan uses Old Gold and it looks pretty good too imo

Same. Neither is a great look but I always thought the Wyoming uniforms look terrible.

 

Ridgeview hit the jackpot with their colors, so I would go a totally different way. Red Storm with use a dark red with another color, white potentially, could look great.

For a consolidated school in Buchanan Co.  You can NOT go wrong with this^^^^^^^^^^^

Black/Gold...Black/Silver...Black/any other contrasting color...I personally would opt for the Black/Silver

I guess im just in the minority, I do think it would look good with the Elk/Herd theme.  

If youre going Miners its gotta be Black with silver/grey, it just looks great. 

[BigWinners 963]

I just think the Miners thing is kind of cliche, don't be afraid to go a different route.

Herd/Thundering Herd isn't bad.

It still looks like baby poop...

[Liam McPoyle 590]

Black Diamond HS

Elk/Thundering Herd or Miners

Black/Silver or  Black/Gold

 

[1inStripes 467]

I think they should be called the Cliff't MudCats.  Green and brown.

[BigWinners 963]

Black Diamond is a pretty cool name.

 

I like some sort of snake if you use Black Diamond. Black Diamond Cobras is pretty cool.

Cobras is Council. So you couldn't do that. 

Black Diamond Rattlers would be coo. Black and lime green is a color scheme we don't see anywhere. 

 

Maybe something like this? 

 

[cwo7998 7]

Buchanan County Bruisers purple, navy blue and black.

[Bluefield researcher 690]

If it wasn't for the fact that the poor birds often died I would think Canary's would be cool. Yellow and Black. No one has that mascot and it would be a cool reference to times gone by in the mines.

Looks great but im a traditionalist. What happens when these neon colors arent in style and you're stuck with electric blue like Ridgeview or neon green?

It does look good though

 

Black Diamond High is nice, but imo you almost have to go with Miners in that case
