I joke about the pirate ship but symbols like that if intended or not have a certain stigma attached to them i dont see how they relate at all to Wigan Rugby League. Player flags are awesome and hold meaning to fans skull IMO is what put a lot of people off

Intimidating.

Graffiti spotted near the deanery high school.



Whoever did it, seriously, you shame the club! Go to your room!

This was the same person that did it in the stadium, and that person has been dealt with, does this really need dragging up again?

The criminal vandalism occurring outside the stadium hasn't been brought up before has it?

Someone said that was up near deanery. apologies if not.

whats sad is that someone's actually gone to all the effort of making a template for it!

Agree, nothing to do with Wigan Rugby, and it doesnt even look good.

art attack has a lot to answer for

My only issue is the word 'of' should have a lowercase 'O' other than that, fantastic effort guys [Tongue in cheek!!]

The skulls symbolise support beyond the grave, undying love for the club (hence the Cherry and White bar scarf). They aren't intended as an intimidating symbol, we took onboard the critisicism of the image and made it more "Wigan-esque" with the addition of the flat cap and pipe, a little tongue in cheek representation of our Northern roots, the text "Northern And Proud" speaks for itself! A skull itself isn't necessarily related to Wigan, but neither is the image of a Warrior As for the Skull and Crossbones, it's simply an iconic and popular image that has been adapted with the lions face to make it relevant to our logo, it's bold and stands out.

I support the principle and the sentiment behind this (except, perhaps there should have been a pie instead of a pipe ), but (and perhaps I'm being a bit paranoid) if & when some daft scrote & his buddies decide to go on a wrecking spree, fingers will point square at the south stand.

I think the imagery as it is could attract "the wrong sort" if you're not careful.

Also, the skull & crossbones was used by some of the French far right parties in the nazi era - hope you're not thinking of taking it to Montpellier.

lol at that skull banner, bless.

Just noticed the Latics banner - what shows your support for the club more than a banner about a team in a completely different sport?
