Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Hamilton Tiger-Cats (Hamilton,ON) were founded in 1869 as the Hamilton Football Club (nicknamed 'Tigers') and in merged with the cross-town upstart Hamilton Flying Wildcats and renamed the Tiger-Cats.
Although,the Tiger-Cats recognise their Grey Cup wins,prior to the merger and all Hamilton-based teams,with 15 (Tigers with 5 and,Flying Wildcats with 1 and Alerts with 1) but CFL only recognises its 8 wins with 1999 being their last victory. However,since 1990,they have missed the playoffs 11 times and won just 1 Grey Cup in 1999 and therefore have the longest Grey Cup drought in not only the East Division but the CFL.
