Athletics

Jordan has three mascots. The mascot for boys sports is the Hubmen, while the mascot for girls sports is the Jaguars. Because they collaborate with the nearby Belle Plaine Tigers for wrestling and nordic ski, the combined mascot is the Panthers. Jordan has separate mascots for boys sports and girls sports because it is sexist and when somebody tried to change that, they were shut down because jaguars are too feminine. [3]
