After seeing what St. Joe’s did to kill their previously immortal Hawk and what Davidson did to “refresh” their logo (a la GW’s infamous font change modernization), we shouldn’t be quite so upset about becoming the Revolutionaries. Based on attending this weekend’s volleyball matches, fans easily cheer “Let’s go Revs” as well as old standby, “Let’s go G-Dub” (with or without the associated clap). Even the PA guy saying “George Washington Revolutionaries” didn’t sound as weird as I expected. As for clothing, I was surprised how many of my volleyball shirts had Colonials on them though I did find one without for each game. Had no desire for an F-U choice to register displeasure over the moniker change. Time to move on.
