the mascot originated from the Louisiana fighting Tigers civil war batallion, but when did the breed get specified? Or is it just an unofficial nickname without any basis?

the Bengal Tiger in Louisiana Military Heraldry dates back to 1838 with the formation of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans (which per Peter Finney and Dan Hardesty) was one of the units the University got the name from...
if you look at the details of the crest of the 141st Field Artillery, you will see the tiger in the crest is a Bengal Tiger

You're right, we should be the LSU Siberian tigers. We should get a Siberian tiger as a mascot. It just doesn't fit here. Plus, the sigfreid and roy jokes would abound if we did could you imagine that shite.Idk the history behind the Bengal tiger but it fits and I'm sure there's a reason why.

It's the Tigers or the Fighting Tigers. No breed specified.
