Athletics and Recreation to drop Golden as part of
rebranding campaign
By Andrew Bucholtz, Queen's Journal As part of the Department of Athletics and
Recreation's large-scale rebranding effort, Queen's
sports teams gained new uniforms and lost a
description.
From now on, teams will be known only as the
Queen's Gaels. The department will also sport a new
logo, a stylized Q with Queen's written underneath in
place of the former Golden Gaels lettering, and will
change their website in the near future from
goldengaels.com to gogaelsgo.com.
Director of Athletics and Recreation Leslie Dal Cin
said the change is more a shift in promotional focus
than a dismissal of "golden." "We have not
eliminated 'Golden Gaels' from our repertoire," she
said. "What we have chosen to do is
highlight 'Queen's' and 'Gaels'. We're spending much
more promotion and attention on those two words."

Moniker dropped after six decades
By JORDAN PRESS WHIG-STANDARD STAFF WRITER More than 60 years after it first appeared as the
nickname for the sports teams at Queen's University,
the term 'Golden' has been dropped by the school.
As of now, the teams competing for Queen's will be
known only as the Gaels.
Along with a change of uniforms last week - the
university unveiled new duds and a new logo for all its
sports teams - Queen's quietly announced to the
university sports community that it was dropping the
colourful adjective from its name.
The school's website, www.goldengaels.com, will soon be replaced by www.gogaelsgo.com as part of the re-branding efforts. Bob Mullen, who coached on the 1992 men's football team that romped to a Vanier Cup title and played on the national championship team of 1978, was surprised to hear about the name change. |

September 3, 2008 - HAMILTON, Ont. - Baseball
legend Ernie Banks coined the phase "let's play two!"
It is in that spirit that University Rush opens its seventh
year of Ontario University Athletics (OUA) football
coverage.
For the first time ever, The Score will showcase not one but two games to begin the season. It is a chance for OUA fans to see three nationally-ranked teams in action, as well as both Yates Cup finalists from one year ago. In the opener, the No. 7-ranked Queen's Gaels (1-0) travel west to tangle with the Guelph Gryphons (0-1). It is the first game at Alumni Stadium since the 2007 Yates Cup, when the Gryphons lost 34-21 to Western. |
