| After it was mentioned yesterday that "Wolves" may be dropped from the name, i am a little disappointed today that that wasn't the big announcement. I have never associated with "Wolves" or "the Wolves" or even "Warrington Wolves". To me the club are "Warrington" or "The Wire", i am a "Wire", we are "Wires" and officially the club is "Warrington RLFC". I've always been a little envious of the Hull clubs and St Helens for not going down the gimmick route of an animal or mythical beast or whatever as a part of their clubs' names.
But it appears it is here to stay as unfortunate as that is for many of us. However, as it goes, at least Wolves isn't already a big NRL brand/franchise and other than being a Black Country association football club's nickname and the Minnesota Timberwolves, there isn't really a big worldwide brand of "Wolves". So in part it is original and we're not just copying another "Wolves" brand, like "Broncos" or "Warriors", and at least Wolves were actually a native animal of this country unlike "Rhinos" or "Tigers".
I actually quite like the new club crest though. There are things i don't like and maybe they can be ironed out: I don't like how "WARRINGTON" is not within the crest and how "WOLVES" looks stronger and more prominent within the crest than "WARRINGTON", also "THE WIRE" doesn't quite fit the ribbon's curve properly and is a different font to "WARRINGTON" and "WOLVES"......but i really like the new Wolf, i like the Wire and the seven clubs references/images and the more i look at it, the more it's growing on me. It's modern and fresh looking. and i am absolutely delighted that the club are re-recognising us as "The Wire"!
So to those who went last night, what other announcements were made?...

With us being the better side these days, we are licking our lips at inflicting more misery on Wire in the coming derby. I expect a fairly straight forward win.[/quote:1d72a5qw][b:1d72a5qw]Wire 44 - 6 Widnes[/b:1d72a5qw]

I had been thinking about this, too. I had thought maybe the club would wait until next season for the new shirts/merch but update the player shirts now. It was surprising to see them still using the old logo on the shirts against Wigwam.

| The whole timing is pretty bizarre, would've thought they'd take their time to get it right rather than rush it in mid season, maybe even give fans the option to vote on a few different badges?

| Let's face it, rightly or wrongly, at this time the club really needed a diversion. A pick me up. That's what we got and shows the new publicity machine is up to it
