Jack Handey Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Another rebrand, of sorts. Seneca Valley Raiders will remove Native American imagery and mascot from it's brand.

fafa fohi Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Maybe it's me, but I have never associated the "Raiders" mascot with Native Americans so I never got the correlation with the two or why SV used NA imagery in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the school is literally built on land gifted to them by the Seneca tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a big plaque that talks about it. Back when I was there our mascot was a kid in traditional Native American attire and would run around the field/court banging a hand drum and chanting.....A LOT has changed since then. I wonder which direction they will take with the logo. My guess is just dropping the NA head altogether and going with the SV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racchi’s Rug Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I never realized all of the schools with “Indians” OR Native American imagery as part of a name/mascot. West A, Peters, North Hills, Morgantown, Indiana, Carrick (same as SV with the Raider but a Native American chief mascot although the hockey team is the Cougars as we know), EF Warriors (mascot), interesting. And those are just the hockey ones, I’m sure there are way more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
