Additional Information

Every sport has its fans. Sports spectating has a history going back as far as sports themselves. Branded merchandise featuring mascots is one of the ways fans show enthusiasm for the game and cheer on the team. Tigers are the mascot of several Illinois sports teams: at current count, 13 high schools and 1 university team.
