The Smokies mascot might not be as widely known as some other school mascots, but it has a special place in the hearts of those in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Smokies are actually the mascots for the Knoxville Smokies, a minor league baseball team, rather than a traditional school team. However, the idea of a mascot named after a geographic location is pretty cool. It shows pride in where you're from and can be a great way to represent your community. In this case, the Smokies mascots include Smokie Joe, along with Knox and Jackson, a father and son bear duo, who all symbolize the spirit and charm of the Smoky Mountains[ICON_mountain]. So, even if it's not a traditional school mascot, it's still a fun and unique way to show local pride
