Hello Raider fans! Along with the start of the school comes a new year of ‘Iolani sports. Remember to support the teams, wear school colors, and cheer loudly. Or better yet, join a team and get involved! Here’s a quick guide of must-know facts.
1. Colors
Red, black, and white are always in fashion. Teams sometimes plan a red-out or black-out dress code for games where the ‘Iolani crowd wears all one color.
2. The Shirt
Every year around homecoming, a new “Go Raiders” shirt comes out. Be sure to get them quick at the S.A.O. before sizes run out! The best part is that they’re considered legal on homecoming day. There are also shirts available for specific sports too
3. Facebook
Join the Facebook group ‘Raider Nation’ and receive updates and reminders on ‘Iolani sports events.

6. ‘Iolani No Ka Oi
‘Iolani’s fight song is played every time a touchdown is made or a goal is scored. Here are the words to sing along!
Some folks say
Iolani is slow,
Iolani No Ka Oi.
But you just watch
Iolani’s team go,
Iolani No Ka Oi.
Fight, boys, put
Iolani on the top;
We’ll cheer you on
And never, ever stop.
Till you’ve done your best
To put her on the top:
That’s Iolani No Ka Oi.
Fight, team, fight
Fight, team, fight
Fight, team; fight team
Fight, fight, fight
7. One team
Remember to always show ‘Iolani pride with good sportsmanship, integrity, and most importantly a one team spirit.
