RDU sports teams to drop “Kings, Queens” for new name
Say goodbye to the RDC Kings and Queens.
College officials say that when Red Deer College officially becomes Red Deer University its sports teams will play under a new name.
“As RDC undertakes the exciting process of rebranding to become Red Deer University, we began to look at the names of our Kings and Queens Athletic teams. While these names have served us well, this is the ideal time for us to evolve and adopt names that are not gender based,” says Dr. Peter Nunoda, RDC President.
“Red Deer University Athletics needs a new team name that is common for men’s teams, women’s teams and mixed teams. This forward-thinking approach will reflect the values of the institution and RDU Athletics.”
