Hawai'i football changing name back to Rainbow Warriors


According to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, Hawaii athletic director Ben Jay has reversed field from a previous decision and all men’s athletic teams will be renamed the Rainbow Warriors. This decision comes just months after Jay decided all men’s sports would simply be named the Warriors. From 2000 to 2012, some teams were named the Warriors and others the Rainbow Warriors. This occurred after former UH football coach June Jones requested the football team be known strictly as the Warriors. Prior to 2000, the football team was known as the Rainbow Warriors.

I wasn't aware that they changed it from Rainbow Warriors.

So much for the relevance of Hawaii football.

I always liked the name better. They haven't used it quite awhile.
