"Yellow and Black Angels"

[Bentleigh]

Did anyone know up untill 1921 Richmond was nick named the "Yellow and Black Angels"?

The seeds of Richmond's culture were sewn in 1921 when the club changed its name from the "yellow and black angels" to the "Tigers". The ferocity of its new moniker inspired the catch cry "eat'em alive". It was a brutal cry that compelled players to make no apologise for their methods and let nothing stand in the way of victory
