The Viking is a very common mascots in sports, including professional teams, high schools, and so on. The word viking is derived from the word vikingr, a word for 'pirate'. Because of its origins, we know that this is a strong word. It describes the Norsemen who raided the coasts of Britain and northwest France. Vikings are thought to be scary, big, vicious, barbarous, and inferior to others, so having this meaning to your team mascot name would be intimidating but appropriate. Vikings are warriors, and if your team wanted to be known as fighting warriors, the Viking as a mascot would be a fitting choice.
