History

Tigre RC was the first rugby union club in Tigre so the existing clubs were dedicated to other sports such as football (where Club Atlético Tigre has been the most representative club of the city due to the football popularity in Argentina) or rowing, which is a very practised activity because of the nearness of the Río Tigre that crosses the city dividing it in two.

After many attempts of creating a club where to practise rugby, on May 15, 1981 the "Tigre Rugby Club" was constituted. Once the club was formed, its managers began to search for a field, which was finally gave by the Government of the city.[2]

Colors

Tigre Club adopted the same colors (blue and red) than Club Atlético Tigre, although both clubs are not related. Those colors were elected in 1983, soon after the club was founded and have been worn in the kit uniforms and club's emblem to date.

gollark: It is nice that Rust actually has tagged unions, which somehow basically all other languages missed out on implementing.
gollark: I don't mind the syntax, I just generally don't seem as productive in it as in other stuff. Also, the compiler is quite slow.
gollark: I don't like C(++) etc enough to use them at all, and haven't really tried using Nim for that sort of thing.
gollark: I'm also dissatisfied with basically every programming language ever in slightly different ways, yes.
gollark: If I write a Rust program to do a thing, it will probably keep working with consistent CPU/memory use with minimal maintenence. I have one doing a thing, and it works squite nicely.
