It'll be cool if we can get in Ozen fan's opinion.

Not sure if you’re directing that at me, I’m aware of the fact there is no “East” Beaumont. Friends of mine who still live in Beaumont and attended each of these schools have emphasized that. 

However, those I’ve spoken to not from Beaumont believe there is a West and and East. Or if there is a West, then diametrically there should be an East. Much like if there’s a Right, then there must be a Left, Up/Down, Hot/Cold, etc...

Yes it was directed at you because of your initial comment.  If you would back away from the keyboard and take a few minutes of your life to read his article, it would explain to you how "he" came up with East.  I didn't come up with it, just repeated what he wrote.  If you want to know, my personal favorite that I have seen and that's getting a lot of steam and traction in other places is Beaumont Obama High.  But we already know that people that don't even have a kid that will be attending the merger school, don't have a kid in BISD, don't even live in Beaumont or simply just love #45 and what he stands for would come out to protest and boycott that naming.  All I will say is they better hope that it's not left up solely to the students and staff to vote... (sunglasses).

You may have to go to the basketball forum for that.  There hasn't been much activity on the football side from them for a while.

I read Ashly’s article - I’m discussing how some actually think there is an “East” Beaumont. Also, how some former students and players feel about the issue. 

Ive also stated in previous post related to this topic that I support whatever the people most directly impacted by this want to do. It’s their money and their kids. Name it Obama High, won’t bother me one bit.

I no longer live in Beaumont, nor do I have kids that go to BISD schools. I’m just a former resident that’s interested in what’s happening.

Ok, we now have an understanding on the "East" Beaumont part. 

Nothing towards you man, I just have 4 kids that will be on that campus next year, whatever the name, mascot and colors are.  I'm not just on this site but I'm on a couple others on Facebook pertaining to the possible merger and status of Central.  I've been at most of the public board meetings since Harvey that I could make and even one that was private that they nearly had to get a police escort to make me leave. 

Just a concerned and invest parent...

You have 4 obvious reasons to be a concerned, invested parent. Whatever happens, I hope it is in the best interest of the kids.

I just read it and I understand now.  

But I'm leaning towards Ozen-Central Wildcats.  The color scheme got me.  Maroon and Blue is very unique and I'd love to see out kids in that while keeping the big cat theme...

Too close to the color scheme for the school from across town.  I have no problem with the name but color scheme should be different.  Don't want the other school thinking we are copying them.  And Wildcats are not "big" cats bro.  I don't have a problem with the Wildcats but if you want a big cat, use a Lion or Tiger.

Shamrock, so are you from PA or Hardin county with all these flying insect mascots? 

[Raider24]

The Black and Silver or the Maroon and Blue look sweet!

[OldBuc77]

I've no skin in this game. Have no opinion about what a combined school should be named....that's the people of Beaumont's  business. 

That said, I thought I might a contribution based on the suggestion of hurricanes in black and silver:

Logo:

Silver helmet, Black outline of Texas, Dot (or make it a star) from the logo at Beaumont, Hurricane symbol around the dot (or star)....

I'm not tech savvy enough to make a helmet and put it all together

Yea I like that, The black just brings out an Intemidation factor, you know and with the Hurricanes as a logo..

That would be perfect

Looks like BISD could get a couple of years to figure out what they are going to do.

So the saga continues.  This is why I said on an earlier post that I wasn't feeling so confident anymore that the 2 schools would merge along with all the work that is going on over at the main campus.

Anything that's larger than a domesticated cat (housecat) is considered a big cat...  Lion, tiger, cheetahs, leopard, lynx, bobcat, ect...

I do see what you saying on replicating the colors of that school across town...
