Tigers, Wildcats Merge to Form the Tiger-Cats

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

Oskee wee wee, Ti-Cat fans. As a Ti-Cat fan I loved doing this one about how the Tiger-Cat name came to be. I may be biased, but I think the Tiger-Cats is one of the best names in sports. It’s unique, cool sounding, and has a historical reasoning behind it.

Does anyone know who came up with the shortened “Ti-Cat” moniker?

I agree. I like when a team’s name has a story behind it instead of having been workshopped at some corporate conference table.
