Mascot & Brand

From 1984 to 2020, CSUSB's athletics programs went exclusively by the Coyotes. In August 2019, the department began to roll out the Yotes brand. In August 2020, the department fully released the Yotes logo, as well as an updated Coyote Head mascot that replaced all gray with white. Since then, the athletics department has only referred to themselves as the Yotes.
