    ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — The Letchworth Central School District has come up with a new team name!

    The district announced in a video posted to its website that the official team name is the Letchworth Legends. Some new logo artwork will be shown off in the near future.

    The original team name was the Letchworth Indians, but the district had to change it after the NYS Board of Regents banned the use of Native American names or symbols in school mascots or team names.

    The most recent name changes include the Keshequa school district voting for the team name “WildCat.” Avon students voted to change their team name from the “Braves” to the “River Hawks.”
