"Eat em Alive"

These pages are dedicated to the Richmond Tigers. I have been a supporter of the Tigers for many years and here is my place to Honor them.

The Richmond Football Club was officially formed at the Royal Hotel Richmond, on the 20th of February 1885. The club had a ready made home ground at Punt Road, just across from the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Punt Road Oval was where, since 1856, the Richmond cricket team had been playing its home matches.

At first the team wore a blue uniform. One of the most important features of a nineteenth century footballer's uniform was his headgear, and when Richmond wore yellow and black striped caps the Tiger nickname quickly followed (although the team was also referred to as the Wasps for a time). Before long, yellow and black replaced blue as the colours of the team's jumpers as well.
