The name tigars is not formally recorded. However, when the IRB sanctioned professional status to the Union code many clubs added a new dimension to their names. This followed the League teams who were already adding names t their clubs

quote from the tigers website, "It was as early as 1885 that the team took up the Tigers name when the Leicester Daily Post stated that "the Tiger stripes were keeping well together."
