Best Answer

Prior to the UCLA becoming the Bruins, they were known as the Grizzlies. However, once the University of Montana joined the sports conference in 1928, also titled the Grizzlies, UCLA made the decision to change the team name to the Bruins, as well as naming their bear mascot Little Joe Bruin.
