Talk:Hamilton Tigers

message: I am from Hamilton (born and raised) and there's an avid sports card amd memorabilia collector in town named Leo Savelli that use to have an origianl Hamilton Tigers game worn jersey hanging from the front window of his store. I remember as a kid staring at that jersey and it was black-and-yellow not black-and-orange. 
The next question now I have to ask myself is 'Was that actually an original Tigers jersey he had or a fake? The second thing I personally recall is roughly 10-years ago having a discussion with a neighbour of mine who since then has passed away and he told me that when he was a kid his father use to take him down to the Barton street Arena to watch the Hamilton Tigers and he told me that the jersey colours were in fact Black-and-Gold and not Black-and-Yellow. Gold as in mid range between yellow and orange.
The next thing that comes to mind for me regarding the jerseys are the Tigers played in an Era when there was no TV and not that many photographs were taken of the players back then like today and the very few photos we do have of these Tigers' players are in black-and-white which doesn't help matters here.
The next area I looked into when I started researching the history of the Hamilton Tigers roughly 10-years ago was I payed a visit to the local Hamilton Public Library in the History department (3rd-floor) and looked through some old micro film of newspaper articles from the 1920s. Today Hamilton has one daily newspaper called the Hamilton Spectator but back then Hamilton was a 3-newspaper town and most of the information that I was able to track down on the Hamilton Tigers came from The Hamilton Herald. In the instances that I was able to find where it stated the teams jersey colours they were described as being "black and gold." 
I'll have more too add to this on a later date when I get copy of actual articles describing the Tigers' jersey colours. Nhl4hamilton 4:23, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen a color plate of the jersey, but it's an artist's rendition done in the 1960s, for what it's worth.  The plate supports your finding of "gold" as in a somewhat orangey yellow.  Ravenswing 18:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Hamilton Tigers (1921) Team Logo.gif

message: There is a book published  for the Christmas market in 2005 by Sam Wesley (his dad David got co-writer credit, but did little work on it).  A forward is written by Don Cherry and it is published by Lorimar.   Whatever research and interviews could be done, are present in this book.   As the players and owners have passed on, the interviews were primarily with their family members, and fans who were young enough to remember the Tigers, but are still alive.  There are not many photos, but perhaps I can get permission and scan them for this article.    Nacken (talk) 05:34, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The Hamilton Tigers are founded in 1878, what would have been the year of the Earth Tiger.
Maybe they look a little evil on the bad side according to Monkey-born people.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.108.138.88 (talk) 15:49, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
