On an interesting side note, the mascot of the high school I attended was the Knights. The girls' teams were often called the "Lady Knights," but one teacher (who had extensive knowledge in the history of the medieval period) always said that they should be known as the "Dames."
The change was never made. :-p

My HS teams were the Trojans. In those days, we didn't have girls teams. I guess if we did, they would have been the "Lady Trojans". That's really weird.
BTW - the best sign I ever saw at a basketball game was at a game I saw on TV at a UCLA - USC match. Some UCLA students had a sign that read, "Flush Used Trojans".
