The tiger, and sports mascots, fit hand and hand. Today many teams, at every level of sports (professional, amateur, college, high school, and even kids leagues), have adopted the tiger as thier mascots. Choosing a team mascot is something which carries great weight with both the team (players, coaches, owners), and the fans of that team.

So why has the tiger become such a popular mascot choice in the world of sports? The tiger is the king of the jungle, therefore, the animal exudes a level of confidence, prestige, power, and respect from the other, weaker, animals in the jungle. It is a respected and looked up to animal. The same concept comes into play when a team decides to use the tiger as a mascot for the team.

It is a sense of pride, power, and prestige, and gives other teams a sense of fear and lack of confidence when facing the “mighty and powerful” tiger. The tiger is really a highly used mascot in the sporting world. It might not be the most popular mascot in the sports world today, but it does rank up there really high as a choice among teams. Both the teams and fans alike love the tiger, and the power it exudes over competitors.
