    @ Pseudonym: Thanks for the history lesson; you could be onto something there.

    It’s woke! Many area schools are changing the mascots of their schools. Alta Loma comes to mind. I’m sure there’s more. Does anyone here know of any more?

    To all: If the Aztec name wasn’t in fact changed, the mascot is most likely a reference to part of the name for an Aztec warrior which was Ocelot (ocelotl), the other part of the nomenclature being Eagle (cuauhtli)—cuauhtli-ocelotl

    Combine Aztecs with Gladiators and you get……a jaguar? The decision to go with that logo is not a “woke” move, though; it simply seems to be nonsensical.

    I think it’s a Jaguar.
    C’mon man! One thing Azusa had going for them was the proud Aztec name and logo. This is very confusing and embarrassing.
    I hope they can turn out a dominating team like they had in 1975, and a few in more recent years.
    Charter Oak combined with Royal Oak and made history. Let’s go Aztecs!

    Wow, I remember when Azusa was known as a tough, hard nosed community. Surprised they caved and went WOKE. The Azusa Cheetahs? Hope they go back to the Aztecs, no one was offended!
    From T. Peterson: They’re still called the Aztecs but the logo changed.

    @ Anonymous: Maybe Azusa High can borrow Mark Keppel’s logo…

    Cool, but why does the Aztec look like a cheetah?
