Richmond’s Tiger Wasn’t Always Inevitable. So Why Did the Club Put One on a Giant Flag in 1921?
We've just published a new RTSSG history feature called Richmond Put a Tiger on Its Club Flag in 1921. What Was It Trying to Become? on rtssg.com.
Today the tiger feels inseparable from Richmond. But in 1921 the club was still turning a nickname into something supporters could see, wave and recognise.
That raises the real question: why a giant black flag, why a fierce tiger, and what did the reaction around it reveal about the identity Richmond was deliberately building?
The full feature follows the surviving evidence and asks what this early physical Tiger symbol meant for a club still becoming the Richmond we recognise.
The answer belongs in the member feature.
