The name was coined in 1947 by Kingston Whig-Standard sports reporter Cliff Bowering after the football team traded its traditional uniform of red, gold, and blue bands for gold jerseys, gold helmets, and red pants. The name caught on and became the familiar term for Queen's teams by the 1950s. "Gaels," of course, is a reference to Queen's Scottish heritage (Queen's University was established in 1841 by the Presbyterian church).

Queen's teams have had a variety of successes on the national and international stages over the university's history. The Golden Gaels football program is one of the oldest and most successful in Canada, boasting a total of three straight Grey Cup victories in the early Twentieth Century (1922, 1923, and 1924) and three Vanier Cup victories as the top team in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (1968, 1978, and 1992). However, many of the Gaels' teams in less popular sports have had more success recently than the football program. An example is the women's soccer team, which, in 2006, earned silver medals in the CIS national championships, thanks largely to star striker Eilish McConville.^[1] McConville led all CIS players with 22 goals during the regular season, and was named the CIS Player of the year as a result. ^[2] The success of the soccer program and other teams in less well-known sports demonstrate the university's commitment to its stated goal of "sport for all," also reflected in how it continues to field more men's and women's teams at the Varsity level than any other university in Canada.
