University Of Hawaii A.D. Looking For Name Uniformity

The athletic director at the University of Hawaii is pushing for name uniformity for men’s and women’s teams.
Ben Jay told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that he is leaning toward naming all university men’s intercollegiate sports teams Warriors and all women’s teams Rainbow Wahine.
Jay says it is important that the university be consistent in its team names for marketing and branding purposes.
The biggest area of inconsistency has been among men’s sports. Over the years, the teams have been named Rainbows, Warriors or Rainbow Warriors. The volleyball team was even known as the Men of War for a while.
Last week, Jay surveyed the department’s head coaches and found that they agreed that teams should have name consistency.
