The Tiger (mascot)

The anthropomorphized tiger is costumed in Acrylic/polyester fur, and in recent years wears a football, basketball, or baseball jersey or a T-shirt.[1] The Tiger has a smaller companion, The Cub, who wears shorts, oversized sneakers, and a jersey numbered 1⁄2.The school's first costumed mascot was the Southern Gentleman, a student dressed in a purple formal suit with a top hat and cane.The name came from a Greenville News editor's nickname for Clemson students, and was discontinued in 1972.[4][2] Mills performed 287 push-ups in that game, a record that was later eclipsed by Ricky Capps, who performed 465 push-ups(including help from the Wake Demon Deacon) in an 82–24 victory over Wake Forest during the 1981 national championship season.
