The Detroit Tigers got their name from a local militia group known as the "Detroit Light Guard," which was formed in 1855. The team adopted the name "Tigers" in 1895, inspired by the militia's tiger emblem. The name has since become synonymous with the team and is a significant part of Detroit's sports history.
