Default Blush Tiger?

I noticed someone locally was offering a Blush Tiger tomato seedling, so I looked it up, and several seed companies offer it. But it's not one of Fred's choices at Artisan Seeds! So I'm wondering if the old (or new?) Blush got renamed, or something.

Many of Fred's similarly shaped offerings are named "tiger": Lucky Tiger, Green Tiger, Pink Tiger... I wonder if someone just assumed that because Blush are shaped like those, it must also be a Tiger.

Blush Tiger = Blush

The name tweaked so that it "fits" within the "tiger" group.

I still call the variety "Blush" as do my two main seed company collaborators -- AP Whaley and Johnny's.

Blush 2.0, however, is a different variety.
