The Cincinnati Revolution was a professional ultimate disc team, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, which competed in the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL). It was one of the eight charter teams in the AUDL, having competed in the league’s Midwestern Conference since its inception in 2012. Originally based in Lexington, Kentucky, and playing as the Bluegrass Revolution, the Cincinnati Revolution moved to Cincinnati before the 2013 season. They played their home games at Sheakley Athletic Center, at the University of Cincinnati. As The Bluegrass Revolution, they played at Henry Clay High School in Lexington KY.
The Revolution made the AUDL playoffs once, in 2012, while playing as the Bluegrass Revolution. Its team colors are black and green, and its logo is a fleur-de-lis.
With the growing popularity of the sport of ultimate, the AUDL was formed in 2012 by Josh Moore, with eight teams scattered along the East Coast and in the Midwest. One of the AUDL’s inaugural franchises, the Bluegrass Revolution, was based in Kentucky, playing its home games in Lexington, at Henry Clay High School’s Jack Bell Stadium.
In its first year, the Bluegrass Revolution was composed of ultimate disc players from Kentucky and the surrounding area. After starting the 2012 season 3-0, with wins over Western Division rivals, the Indianapolis AlleyCats, Columbus Cranes, and the Detroit Mechanix, the Bluegrass Revolution finished second in the Western Division with a record of 9-7, behind the AlleyCats. In the 2012 AUDL playoffs, the Revolution played against the AlleyCats for the Western Division title, but lost by the score of 24-20.
