I tend to agree. It could really do with a big press launch when we're ready, to get the message out (as Stevo once said).
If the merchandise is decent quality, it should sell really well this year.
All we need then is some success and a stadium and we're on our way. |

Decent kit, some success, and a new stadium... Do you want the moon on a stick too?
What do you think this is, some kind of professional sports club?!?!? |

You're correct but that's also sad when at most clubs it would just be a footnote. |

Despite being happy we are ditching the Wildcats thing, I wasn't sure on the new badge when I first saw it. It seemed like it was lacking a bit of overall polish and wasn't keen on the font. However after seeing it on that image with Johnstone, it looks really smart.

| Quote Wholly Trinity="Wholly Trinity"Interesting debate this one.
In the context of the club, does it represent the Trinity part or the Wakefield part?
I guess it depends on when it was first used. I think the club was the Holy Trinity Club when it was first formed in 1873, but when did it change and when did it use the fleurs-de-lys?.
The club was formed by the Young Mens Society of the Holy Trinity Church sometime in November/December 1872. so i would think that the badge has religious connections. apparently the first match took place on Boxing day in 1872 but they were unable to field a complete 15 team side [ don't forget when Trinity first formed they were playing under Rugby Union rules before the great split they borrowed some players from the opposition to make up the numbers. Trinity actually played Wakefield which was another team who had formed in Wakefield and played at Eastmoor. Wakefield had already played Leeds Grammar School 3 weeks earlier and lost. Trinity lost there first match against Wakefield. the first match in which they fielded a full side of their own members was played on Saturday 8 February 1873 again playing Wakefield at their ground [Mount Pleasant as it was known which was between Stanley Road and Park Lodge Lane on Eastmoor. this match is classed as the first and why 1873 is the founding date of Wakefield Trinity. I would recommend to all Trinity fans the book [if it is still available "TRINITY, A History of The Wakefield Rugby League Club 1872 - 2013" by Mike Rylance, a superb read and loads of information and photos.

Further to my previous post i forgot to mention there is in the book the earliest team photo known of Wakefield Trinity and it dates from 1875 and shows the team wearing their original colours. these were Black and pale Blue hoops and interestingly a Fleur de Lis badge on some of the shirts but not all. maybe it was just the players who belonged to the Young Mens Society of the Holy Trinity Church who wore the badge and non members of the Society didn't.

I was exactly the same, at first i thought it was marginally too plain and could do with a little more embellishment. But the more i see it the more i like it. Nice and simple and in this case i think less is more. |

I agree, it's an excellent in depth read about all the coming and goings of Trinity over the years.
From reading the book, I many be wrong but I don't think they'd have added the Trinity part if there wasn't already a Wakefield Rugby Club established i the City and thus they wanted to differentiate themselves from it. |

As a Graphic Designer it's always been my belief that where sport is cincerned especially RL bold block primary colours work best - hate kits with pintripes and fades, just awfull. Ditto the badge which is defacto your logo. A good logo is simple and the best can be re-produced by an average 8 year old with a pencil - the VW badge, Apple and the Triumph motorcycle logo, very simple hugely recogniseable.
Design is hugely subjective IMO and ahough the new badge is not a design classic in my eyes it is timeless, uncluttered and the more it's used the more memorable it will become and it will look right on almost anything, basic good design. |

Agree, like the Nike logo, which I know many think is one of the best and simplest created. |
