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. |

One play was all it took to get a good understanding of
where Dan Brannagan and the Queen's offence is
coming from.
Two seasons ago, Brannagan would not have been
throwing downfield in the final seconds of the first half,
right after his defensive mates had been scorched for
a long touchdown with 20 ticks on the clock. It would
have been take two kneeldowns and get more
coaching points at halftime. Instead, Queen's spread
the field and Brannagan completed a 40-yarder to
Mark Surya as casually as you would toss your keys
on the kitchen table at the end of a long hard day,
setting up a Dan Village field goal that cut Guelph's
lead to a point. That more or less got Queen's pointed
toward a rousing 41-30 road win.
