The Cal State San Bernardino Coyotes are the men's and women's intercollegiate athletic teams of California State University, San Bernardino. The athletic department was established in 1984 and the school's athletic mascot is the Coyotes, sometimes shortened as “Yotes” during cheers. The school's official colors are coyote blue and black.
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. The names Yotes and Coyotes are both still used, though Yotes has become more common.
