Exactly. Just because we're paranoid doesn't mean that they're [unot [/uall out to get us


I wonder if our stadium ambitions will start to progress again once the building is started at Cas? They certainly seemed to stall when Glasshoughton fell apart.

Looks at hulls new kit ISC will be doing some good shirt designs this year, can't wait to see ours.
Up the Trin

In the interests of the rebrand could the moderators put forward a request that the site developers of RLFans rename this board as "Wakefield Trinity" rather than the old "Wakefield Trinity Wildcats"? The club has effectively rebranded so maybe this site can too.

Consider it done.

Thanks Widthing

I see Leeds have teamed up with Superdry to produce branded merchandise. Whilst acknowledging Trinity's support falls way short of Leeds it would be nice to see the club look into something like this. Some of the stuff we have in the shop is awful quality wise which certainly puts me off buying the products, I guess there are more out there too. I think something like the images show in link would really go down well with the re-brand back to Trinity. ISC produce both kits so clearly they are OK with it. www.superdry.com/search/rugby

Wow, incredibly expensive though. £75 for a shirt and £55 for a pair of joggers. How many would be prepared to pay that?

People pay £25 for something I wouldn't pay £5 for. You have different types of supporters from the hero's who'll buy any old e for a relatively high sum to those who would be prepared to pay that more for quality gear. Currently we're missing out a consumer base by not catering for them.

Own Character a lot better than superdry.

You're spot on and it's easy....

Create your own line called for example "Treize BV".

Buy a load of good quality T Shirts, Hoodies and Sweatshirts off e-bay.

Get a bunch of art students at Wakefield College to come up with six designs (first wins a £100, the rest get a couple of free tickets). Get them screen printed, it really is cheap.

Give a few away at the College so they get seen around town.

Push it at matches and on the Web and any other outlet.

Sell them in the shop for £10-£20 a piece. If they are good and catch on then bingo easy money.

It won't make the club flush but it is an incredibly easy way to make money and to adverstisethe club with little risk. If the worst happens they make great give away's and I'm sure they would sell at cost if needs be. It's called making money the easy way just requires someone at the club to make it a side project but DON'T over order, you can always go back for more. If I'd have known what a farce the new ground was going to become when we started SWAG then I'd have pushed SWAG to be more of a fund raiser to rebuild BV. When I think of the hours of hard work wasted by truly talented people (yep even me) that could have gone into improving what we already had and now don't I get truly angry. I can accept that N/M won't happen etc etc but it's the waste of our time and effort I really despise. We are all ten years older now and in my case tired and I ain't done half as much as some...anyway rant over.
