"Eastside Bulldogs" include neighborhoods located on Fresno's Eastside & Southeast side. They often represent their set with the 3 letters "ESF, or East Side Fresno. Sets include the Bond Street Bulldogs, McKenzie Street Bulldogs, 5th Street Bulldogs, Backer Street Bulldogs, Fresno Flats Bulldogs, Calwa Bulldogs, Eastside Bulldogs, Lewis Street Bulldogs, Butler Park Bulldogs, Daisy Park Bulldogs, Floradora Bulldogs, and Sunny City Bulldogs.
