A friend of mine has produced a traditional thick heritage cotton rugby shirt. Its all white with a proper collar thick red band around the middle with a small blue band above and below front and back. They are available in large and extra large.

ALL PROFITS FROM THE SHIRT ARE GOING TO WAKEFIELD HOSPICE. THIS IS A GENUINE NOT FOR PROFIT CHARITY SHIRT.

For more details PM me.

How much are you selling these for? Definitely interested if the price is not too extortionate.

Well its my next door neighbour who's had the shirts produced & they're definitely ,100% a hospice charity shirt !

I have put this on, on the behalf of a lifelong fan. It has been put on in good faith i asked one of the mods if it was ok to put the image on that we were not breaking any forum rules.This is a genuine not for profit shirt...i repeat all profits are going to the wakefield hospice.I would not be associated with such a thing if it was not true.My friend had a meeting with the hospice fundraiser in November.He will contact the club on Monday and speak with Mr Elston to hopefully settle any differences that there maybe. Until these differences are resolved i will not reply to any pm's.
No shirts have yet been sold...all enquiries for the shirts have been self initiated.

I would not put my name to or say that it was for such a good cause as the hospice if it was not.It was genuinely put on in good faith and i hope the readers of this blog the club understand this.

As it doesn't look as though this shirt has the club badge on then as long as it is not marketed as a Wakefield Trinity shirt i'm not sure the club can do a great deal about it, unless they've trademarked the design, which I doubt.

That's what I would of thought too

Its a shame the club couldn't of worked with this and produced an official shirt with the proceeds going to the hospice. Am sure many would be sold if available in the shop especially if the old badge was present. Didn't cas and warrington do a similar thing with their help 4 heroes shirts.

As has been mentioned the club would probably not back such an idea until after Christmas and the beginning of the season as sales would be taken away from the clubs official shirt for the forthcoming season.

Just to confirm the club have not been approached by and are not involved with the sale of this shirt.
We have an excellent relationship with the Hospice and have worked with and will continue to work with them on a number of projects. I have checked with the Hospice this afternon and they are not involved with the sale of this shirt. Obviously if the person selling these shirts wants to make a donation to the Hospice they are entitled to do so.

Is this shirt down to RW timing not very good
PS.nice shirt

Martin, as stated this was put on in good faith.My friend asked me to put this on the forum as i am a registered user . He will be contacting the club on Monday and hopefully any issues that the club may have can be resolved.I can assure you that once you have spoken with him and you can see the evidence that all profits raised are to go to the hospice everything will be resolved.
I would not put my name or that of Wakefield Hospice forward if this was not genuine.Hopefully once you have spoken with him we can all move forward in the pursuit in raising money to such a good cause.

I aim to cycle from.belle vue to.catalans in perpignan when we play them away...with any money raised going between the hospice and squadbuilder.As a season ticket holder and supporter of 35 years i can honestly say it was genuinley put in good faith.
