Title: Revolutionaries?

I actually thought this was a joke when I first saw it. It will be fun to see if they try to fit this name on jerseys, etc.

At least they didn't change the mascot image/likeness — don't know what they called the physical mascot back when they were the Colonials, so I wonder if they'll also change that nick name as well.  Easiest change would be to Rev the Revolutionary. Or maybe just plain Bob.  ;D

Makes Beacons sound like a pretty solid choice!

Actually, if the Valpo players were "Revolutionaries" we could call them the "Revs" and it would be appropriate with Rev. Powell as coach.
