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.[2] 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.[3][4][5]
While most teams play their home games in D.C., some teams, including GW baseball,[6] call neighboring Arlington, Virginia home due to the small size and urban nature of GW's campus.
