When Blooming Prairie would travel to nearby Austin in the early 1900s, the Austin paper would refer to the squad as "the boys from blossom town." That's how "Blossom" came to be.

Jordan gets its nickname because the town was the railroad hub of Scott County back when trains were prevalent. Of course, Hubmen doesn't really work for girls' sports, and Hubwomen just sounds silly. So the female teams at Jordan go by the Jaguars.
