George Washington Revolutionaries
The George Washington Revolutionaries are the athletic teams of George Washington University of Washington, D.C. The Revolutionaries compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference for most sports. They were formerly known as the George Washington Colonials. On June 15, 2022, the board of trustees announced that George Washington University would drop the "Colonials" nickname because it "no longer does the work that a moniker should—namely, unifying the campus behind our academic and athletic institutional aspirations." Potential new nicknames were initially narrowed down to “Ambassadors”, “Blue Fog”, “Revolutionaries”, and “Sentinels”, with the new name being announced as the Revolutionaries on May 24, 2023. While most teams play their home games in D.C., some teams, including GW baseball, call neighboring Arlington, Virginia home due to the small size and urban nature of GW's campus. Spor ...

The Hartford Colonials, originally the New York Sentinels, were a professional American football team that played in the United Football League in its 2009 and 2010 seasons. A charter member of the UFL, the Sentinels began play in 2009 nominally representing New York City but playing its home games in three stadiums, none of which were in the city proper: Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut; Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, New York (on Long Island); and the now-demolished Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
