Except that Wheat's Battalion weren't the first Tigers from Louisiana.
Also while Claire Chennault was raised in Louisiana and went to ROTC at LSU, the Flying Tigers were a name given to the unit by the Empress of China. The Tiger represents the acme of fierceness in China, and she was impressed with how Chennault's unti was holding their own against overwhelming Japanese forces.
Those are shark's teeth on the planes, not tiger teeth.
