Way back in the fall of 1896, coach A.W. Jeardeau's LSU Tigers football team posted a perfect 6-0-0 record and it was in that pigskin movement that LSU Tigers first adopted its nickname, LSU Tigers. LSU Tigers seemed a logical choice since most secluded teams in that year bore the names of ferocious animals, but the underlying reason why they chose LSU Tigers dates back to the Civil War.
According to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD and the "Guide to Louisiana Confederate Military Units, 1861-1865" (LSU Press, 1989), the name Louisiana LSU Tigers evolved from a volunteer company nicknamed the Tiger Rifles, which was prearranged in New Orleans. This company became a part of a battalion commanded by Major Chatham Roberdeau Wheat and was the only corporation of that battalion to wear the colorful Zouave uniform. In time, Wheat's entire battalion was called the LSU Tigers.
That nickname in time was practical to all of the Louisiana troops of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The tiger symbol came from the well-known Washington Artillery of New Orleans. A militia unit that traces it’s past back to the 1830s, the Washington Artillery had a logo that featured a snarling tiger's head. These two units first gained fame at the Battle of First Manassas on July 21, 1861. Major David French Boyd, first president of LSU Tigers after the war, fought with the Louisiana troops in Virginia and knew the standing of both the Tiger Rifles and Washington Artillery.
Thus, when LSU Tigers football teams entered the gridiron battlefields in their fourth year of intercollegiate competition, they tagged themselves as the "Tigers". It was the 1955 LSU Tigers "fourth-quarter ball club" that helped the moniker to grow into the nickname, Fighting Tigers. Thanks to Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr., PhD, a historian at the Pamplin Historical Park, for contributing to the above information.
