‘Rainbows’ return as UH name change becomes official
Hawaii News Now
The ‘Rainbow’ is making its return to Manoa on Monday, as previously announced name changes for University of Hawaii athletics teams have officially gone into effect.

Russell Roberts‘s insight:

University officials should have kept the original name in the first place. So much for political correctness. Aloha, Russ.
