Hull owner Assem Allam has confirmed the club will be re-named as the Hull City Tigers from the start of the new Premier League season.
The words 'Association Football Club' will be removed from their official title and taken off their club crest from the 2014-15 campaign.
Allam is quoted in the Hull Daily Mail saying that he also dislikes the word 'City' because it is commonly used by other clubs.
