They should have made it historically accurate and depicted his catheter

That’s why he had the best dribble in Philly

Ben Franklin mascot: lights the fattest blunt you've ever seen and starts hitting on the oldest woman in the crowd.

Me: Wow it's like I went back in time to 1776!

Our high school mascot was Robert E. Lee in the form of Yosemite Sam, guns and all. Our fight song was Dixie and there were confederate flags everywhere. We were also still doing desegregation busing until at least 2002, so there's also that.

Was it this guy? Named 'Rebbie'?

[–] frustratedphagocytosis@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh wow there's more than one out there? I don't think that one is ours but it's been a while since I graduated

[–] FatTony@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

(For those wondering, yes this is supposed to be Lee)

Then how about this guy? (I got one more after this 😂)

That has to be them, the colors and the logo style are identical to what I remember

Imagine getting your ankles broken by Ben Fuckin Franklin.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

He is by far the coolest founding father. Just gonna drop this link here:

Ben Franklin was a rebel indeed
He liked to get naked while he smoked on the weed
He was a genius, but if he was here today
The government would fuck him up his righteous A!

My partner grew up in rural SE Idaho where there was a Butte high school, and they were the Pirates. The Butte Pirates.

When academics meets athletics.

[–] lickmygiggle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

My hometown team is the magicians.

Perhaps that was a cool thing to be in the 20s when they were named, but going to high school in the age of Criss Angel just made it pathetic.

this is just one of the sixers logos flipped in a different color… lemmy still has a long way to go for sports discussion. wish it was on par with reddit

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

While you're not wrong, that doesn't mean it's not also their high school mascot. Many schools use professional team logos as their team logos. We were The Patriots at my high school for instance. And we didn't even bother to change the colors or anything. We just straight up used the NFL patriots logo.

Now I want to see a pic of Benny Frank posterizing one of the slaver founding fathers. I feel like Patrick Henry would look alright with Ben’s nuts in his face.
