I don't remember the whole story but Clemson used to be an all male military school and they were the Clemson Gentlemen, I don't remember exactly when or why but someone showed the football coach at the time an orange helmet with a tiger paw on it & the coach said he wanted those helmets & they became the tigers

Tigers
The Clemson basketball team (also known as "The Clemson Tigers men's basketball") is the college basketball program of the Clemson University. The mascot of all Clemson University athletic teams is a tiger.
The motif of Clemson bedding sets is a tiger paw print. The tiger paw print is orange colored and represents Clemson University's mascot or team name, which is the Tigers.
It isn't. Their mascot is a tiger. The tiger paw is just one of their symbols, like the "C" they use for their baseball team. But to answer the question, "Why is Clemson's mascot a TIGER?", it is because of Walter Riggs. He came to Clemson as the football coach in 1896 from Auburn University. He had always been a fan of the Princeton Tigers, and, therefore, gave Clemson the mascot.
