Name dates back to 1920sSince the late 1920s, the men's teams have been known as the Redmen. (McGill University)Campaign to change the nameThe university's task force on Indigenous studies and Indigenous education released a report in 2017 in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's calls to action. The task force issued its own recommendations, including one to change the varsity teams' name within one or two years of the report. That name hurt people, so we want to say congratulations to McGill University."
