The exhibition utilizes photographs, documents and other materials from the USD Archives & Special Collection to explore the evolution of the visual identity of the USD Athletic Department from 1889 through the present. The show will include an analysis of the origins of the coyote nickname, the trends of athletic logos and illustrations of Charlie Coyote and the evolution of the appearance of the Coyote mascot.
