| I actually spent some time on Hawaii to see if they were the Rainbow Warriors or Warriors and came across this on wikipedia...
The University of Hawaiʻi Warriors, University of Hawaiʻi Rainbow Warriors, or University of Hawaiʻi Rainbows are the team names of the men's sports programs at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Prior to the year 2000, the University of Hawaiʻi's men's teams were all referred to as the Rainbow Warriors, complemented by an athletics logo featuring a rainbow. However, in a controversial marketing strategy over which many at the University and throughout Hawaii have misgivings[1], the school changed its athletics logo to a stylized "H" and allowed each team to pick its own team name. This has led to the current situation, where three teams have retained the team name of "Rainbow Warriors," (basketball,swimming & diving and tennis) one team adopted the name "Rainbows', (baseball) and three teams have adopted the name "Warriors", (football, golf and volleyball). |
