🧑‍🤝‍🧑Mascot: "Yeomen"

Hey there Let's talk about the Yeomen, a pretty unique mascot you might not hear about every day. The Yeomen are associated with Oberlin College in Ohio, and the name has an interesting history. It originated from "Ye-O-Men," a playful combination of the college's letter "O" and the word "men," since only men competed in sports back in the 1800s. Over time, it got shortened to "Yeomen," and when women's athletics started in 1973, the female teams became known as the "Yeowomen." So, if you're ever at Oberlin, you might hear people cheering for the Yeomen or Yeowomen, and it's all about that clever and historic name 🏆. It's a cool example of how a mascot can reflect the school's history and spirit.
