The rainbow arch logo is gone from the football uniforms and replaced with simply an 'H.'

It's weird because only certain teams are known as the "University of Hawaii Warriors": Football, Basketball, and Volleyball.
The baseball team is still known as the "University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors."
Womens' teams are still known as the "Rainbow Wahine."
The dance team is still known as the "Rainbow Dancers."
Confusing, I know.
