I Finally Understand the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' Nickname

I never understood why the Tiger-Cats didn't just call themselves the Tigers. Isn't it a bit redundant to be called the Tiger-Cats? Then I did a little research, and it all made perfect sense. The current franchise came about with a merging of two different teams: the Tigers and the Wildcats. That's where Tiger-Cats comes from.

While I still think it would have been easier to go with Tigers or Wildcats, who am I to complain about a good old-fashioned compromise? After all, regardless of their name, we still get the opportunity to see the Ti-Cats cheerleaders in action and that is a very good thing. Without the naming compromise, maybe the franchise would have gone away forever and we would have been robbed of this piece of CFL Week.

CFL Cheerleaders at the Grey Cup

The 100th all time Grey Cup was last week, and the Toronto Argonauts defeated the Calgary Stampeders 35-22. More importantly for our purposes, the CFL had some sort of Fan Expo thing going on that included cheerleaders from multiple teams. And, they held it indoors so the girls didn't have to wear giant parkas to avoid frost bite! Double win!

Luckily my boy WP was there to document the entire thing. Unfortunately, no sign of my favorite Stampeders cheerleader.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats' Cheerleaders

We haven't been north of the border since I tried to get help identifying this smokin' hot Calgary Stampeders cheerleader (unsuccessfully I might add). So we're headed to the Canadian Football League again, but this time it's the Hamilton Tiger Cats. Or the Ti-Cats if you're up on all of the hip CFL lingo.

Foreign Cheerleader Friday -- Hamilton Tiger Cats

We're headed to the Great White North and the Canadian Football League for this Foreign Cheerleader Friday. Today's cheerleaders cheer for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL. Hamilton is currently 2nd in their division at 6-5 on the season. Their cheerleaders, however, seem to be pretty damn hot. I might have to spend some more time looking for CFL cheerleaders if these girls are any indication of the talent north of the border.
