CSULB’s original 49er mascot has had a makeover that allows it to be more mobile and animated than ever before. Prospector Pete’s new look still keeps to its classic style of blue jeans, cream button down shirt, black vest and rimmed LB hat. The “new” Pete, however, comes complete with its very own pick axe and, more importantly, the mascot now has the ability to run around on the court, sit in the stands with fans and walk around campus with ease. The new and improved Prospector Pete was unveiled in September in front of a crowd of about 2,000 at a women’s volleyball game.
