Bishop's Gaiters

The Bishop's Gaiters is the name of the men's and women's athletic teams that represent Bishop's University in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. Although their logo and mascot suggest the term stems from the word alligator, "Gaiter" actually refers to a boot covering worn by Anglican bishops up until the beginning of the 20th century. The teams play in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, and more specifically, Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ). The Gaiters' home field is Coulter Field, a 2,200 seat capacity stadium located on the university's campus.
