Cheers for that sawyer  . I was a bit off thinking it was a mobile skin  lol.

The NFL has this sort of thing. The crowd cheering and waving and swinging around small towels in unison.

Being a tiger supporter is innate, its raw, its emotional ...... this is what the Tiger Skin represents ..... it shows that you're 100% committed to the Tiger cause ... your challenge is to bring your skin to the first Tigers home game

What a load of sch1t.

Based on recent round 1 floggings this idea could die after the first 5 minutes lol.

Obviously someone doesn't like the the tiger skin idea

Might use mine as a bib at the half time pigfest 
This'll get the members in lol

I'm telling ya - they buff the car beautifully. Just got back from the car wash and they are better than a chamios

But using it as a BIB - didn't think of that, it could work

Membership drive takes many paths

BILLBOARDS, television commercials and marketing via the internet – clubs are pulling out all stops this season to attract members.

Richmond members, for example, are receiving the brand new Tiger Skin – a yellow and black towel the Tigers marketing team is hoping supporters will wave at every match this season.

The Tiger Skin is based on the Terrible Towel, a small hand towel introduced in 1975 by gridiron side the Pittsburgh Steelers, who won back-to-back NFL titles after the so-called ‘rally rag’ was introduced.

Trent Jacobs, general manager of consumer marketing at Richmond, hopes the Tigers’ rally rag will help improve the team’s performance, though he says the Tiger Skin is not designed to be a good-luck charm.

“The Tiger Skin is one of many unique ways the club is trying to increase the enjoyment of our members as they support their side,” he said.

Jacobs hopes the Tiger Skin will not only help attract members but keep existing supporters on board.

Dear Mr Jacobs, good to see that you have looked after the kids with your 'Tiger Skin' idea. Was there anything for adults?

Mr Jacobs hopes that it will attract new members. Yeah right, people will really want to pay $200 for a membership just so they can get the 50c Tiger skin. Geez marketing people are a waste of oxygen.

Win the first few games in a row and it could take off as a novelty for a short while just to tick off opposition supporters. 40,000 Tiger supporters waving towels in Eddie and Joffa's face after another win over the Pies lol.
