The Tiger Paw turns 53 today!
I am sure some of you are more knowledgeable on this than I am. Would love to hear your insights regarding the history of our Beautiful Tiger Paw.
Here are some highlights from the Clemson Sports website:
“One day, Antonio brainstormed an idea to create a logo in the image of a tiger’s foot. He contacted the Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Ill. and asked for a plaster-of-paris cast of the imprint of a tiger’s paw.”
“Clemson unveiled the Tiger Paw on July 21, 1970 with a blitz of press conferences around the state (Florence, Charleston, Columbia and Greenville), plus trips to Charlotte and Atlanta. The caravan included new football Coach Hootie Ingram, new basketball Coach Tates Locke, All-ACC running back Ray Yauger and Wright Bryan, then the vice president for development. The group left Greenville-Spartanburg Airport at 7:15 a.m. and returned to Greenville for the final press conference of the day at 5 p.m.”
“Soon after its release, the Tiger Paw was everywhere. That included on all highways headed into Clemson.”
“It was not copyrighted until after the 1981 national championship season, when Clemson merchandising exploded.”

It doesn't look a day older than 3 years old.

I want a picture of the sleeping tiger that they unwittingly 'fingerprinted'
We should all be on the lookout in case it comes back for revenge like Ed O'Bannon searching out bygone NIL money.
