The Vault – La Cuesta: Louie the Lumberjack

April 9, 2024

In 1987, an updated version of Louie the Lumberjack was introduced. Sporting a standard-issue plaid shirt and a friendly smile, “Goofy Louie” as he was commonly referred to took form on school IDs and fan apparel, and he even became the first resident mascot in 1988 at football games and across campus with a lifelike costume rendition. This version of Louie served as the official university mascot until the early 2000s.
