I learned something today.
The mascot name "Blue Jackets" is also used by another Ohio sports organization- New Riegel high school. New Riegel, which sounds more like a star than a city, is located in Seneca County.
Not Ohio-Geography savvy? It's near Tiffin.
Ok, ok, north of Columbus.
Not handy with a map? Try "up".
Anyway, the website I found doesn't have an image of their mascot, but judging from this picture of a rock that I did find, it seems to be an anchor- which is neither blue nor a jacket. I couldn't find anything explaining this perplexing inconsistency on their school district website, though I did find their school lunch menu. Yum.
Oh, and Congrats to New Riegel Seniors! You did it!

Columbus not the only Ohio city to sport Blue Jackets

Bluejacket is slang for a sailor in the navy. It comes from the color of their coats.
I graduated from New Riegel and the previous comment is correct!!
It is a tiny little school. My graduating class had only 40 students!
