Quote: BuckleyStreetWire "Just wondering if whoever it was who contacted the club over the "seven clubs" thing ever received a reply from the club? And it is the badge we will be running with as a club for next season (with no fan consultation? which i find bizarre)?
Also any news on the kits for next year? what colours are we likely to have? Is it still ISC and do we still have Fly Emirates?(and will this still be a nice less cluttered front to the kit with just that on?...looks much sleeker than many other kits with seven odd jumbled up sponsors plastered all over the shirts).
Quite a few questions there, sorry!'"
Hi BSW. It was me who contacted the club, back in July. To their great credit, I got a response from Roger Draper within a day or 2.
He confirmed that "the 7 shields actually represent the 7 founding members ( or fathers as we call them ) of Warrington Wolves. I think members and clubs got lost in translation but happy to confirm that this was the thinking behind the heritage element of the new badge."
Personally, I'm chuffed, as it was my research that discovered the 'founding fathers', and led to the change in foundation date from 1879 to 1876
