Actually, the Tigers part came into play because part of Major Wheat's battalion of Louisiana infantry was a volunteer group that called themselves the "Tiger Rifles," if I remember what my grandpa told me right. They fought under Richard Taylor as part of Stonewall Jackson's army and were instrumental in Confederate victories. The name eventually spread to the entire brigade.

The words "Yellowhammer" in Alabama's Rammer Jammer dates to the Civil War. It was a term that referred to Confederate troops from Alabama. It is also the state bird.
