The Tiger Rag (sometimes referred to as the Victory Flag at Tulane) is a trophy flag made of satin awarded each year to the winner of the Battle for the Rag, the college football matchup between the LSU Tigers and the Tulane Green Wave. It is divided diagonally with the logos of each school placed on opposite corners from one another and has the Louisiana state seal in the center.

It is named after the popular tune Tiger Rag, one of LSU's many fight songs.

It is believed that the original flag was destroyed in a 1982 fire at the Tulane University Center. In 2001, both LSU and Tulane worked together and created a reconstruction of the rag, based upon archived photographs.

The two teams stopped playing every year between 1994 and 2005, but started a new annual matchup in 2006. LSU has won the matchup 15 straight times and held the Tiger Rag since 1983. LSU currently leads the series at 66-22-7. The last game between the two schools was on 2006-09-23 in Baton Rouge, a 49-7 win by LSU.
