"The Fight Song" off of the album Holy Wood
In the United States , fight songs are especially popular for American Football , especially at the collegiate and High School level, but several NFL teams maintain traditional songs usually several decades old. Notable fight songs include '' Skol, Vikings '', '' Bear Down, Chicago Bears '', '' Go! You Packers! Go! '', '' Fly, Eagles Fly '' and perhaps one of the oldest and most famous, '' Hail To The Redskins ''. "HIMNO TECOS" is the fight song of
The First Division futbol team UAG Tecos of the private university in Guadalajara .
Hundreds of College s have fight songs, some of which are almost a century old. Fight songs are laden with history; in singing a fight song, fans feel part of a large, time-honored tradition. The following list contains some of the most established and popular in America.
''Notes:''
- Colleges whose names begin with "University of" or "College of" are listed by traditional name; for example, the University Of Cincinnati is listed under ''C'', not ''U''.
