I first started following the club in the 1980s and remember often singing "T-r-i-n-i-t-y Trinity Trinity".

I haven't heard this being sung for decades which I think is really sad. I'd love it if the main group of our supporters who sing during matches would take it up and sing it every game.

Wakefield Trinity is a cool name, a classy name, I always thought it sounded the best out of all the teams in the league when the results were read out on TV and radio. I was so proud that it was my team too. When Wakefield Trinity Wildcats was introduced I thought it sounded like an American baseball or basketball team, far too long and more like trying to be like some of the others, a bit gimmicky really. I wanted us to be the same as St Helens, stick with the name, the tradition. We should have dropped the Wildcats ages ago, I agree with Kev's Head's previous post of using it as a nickname. Don't have a problem with that at all.

Agreed. Ideally I would still prefer the Dreadnought nickname. Use of the Fleur de lis has been incorporated into the shirts without much difficulty. The Wildcats logo does put me off buying any casual wear.

Certainly seems overwhelmingly in favour of reverting back to Wakefield Trinity
With the caveat that we keep Daddy Cool as a mascot

Only 2 votes to drop Trinity

As an outsider...I can understand any club trying to appeal to children, especially given the way football seems to hoover up fans as it becomes more and more global. So some of the new club names have been embraced. I think a lot of Widnes fans like being the Vikings from personal experience.

But I can't say I've observed a lot of love for the Wildcats name, and with Trinity attached it's a bit of a mouthful. Trinity is your identity, wildcats could simply be a nickname (like The Toffees is to Everton etc) and a mascot and the club would benefit much the same from it with the kids. Just my tuppence worth.

I would suggest that this is the least of our worries...

Let's just talk about the depressing stuff then!

I see no reason why we can't debate any number of things, who's counting or putting a limit on it?

Whether the club places any importance on what's said or polled on here is doubtful anyway.

I'll always prefer just Trinity but i don't see much point in changing anything right now. Bigger fish to fry.

I remember when Trinity re-branded to the cartoon cat - was it about 1999? - the response from Tigers supporters was that it was a copy of our badge and there was even a ridiculous theory that by Wakey using a feline mascot (similar to ours) it was another attempt at a merger of the 2 clubs. I mean if you are going to have to pick an animal you could have avoided picking one of the big/medium cat species - there is another 8 million animal species to choose from.

I'd suggest it was more to do with alliteration and nothing at all to do with what Cas were doing.

By that logic, it reduces your 8 million options by a fair few doesn't it...?

Wildcats are not a big cat species and are not medium sized either.

Not sure if you're trying to be helpful or not but what Cas Tigers fans think, now or in the past, on this matter is pretty irrelevant. Thank you.

The moniker was added as part joining in the spirit of Super League. If I remember rightly various names were suggested by fans as part of a Wakey Express/Trinity completion. Didn't something like Wakefield Trinity "Tornados" come a close 2nd?

Bren - alliteration doesn't come into it. Wakey didn't have to pick a moniker beginning with W (e.g. Leeds Rhino's and Castleford Tigers).

They didn't have to.....but that's why they did.
Pretty big Cas ego to think it was to do with them.

Wakefield Trinity Titans wouldn't have been a bad shout imo.

Bit too close to Tits!

T.R.I.N.I.T.Y trinity trinity !!!!! T.R.I.N.I.T.Y trin it trin iteeeeeeeeeee !!!!

I could be wrong but when all these names were being added, weren't Cas going to go with Cougars but Keighley beat them to it?
Someone has mentioned that some clubs don't need gimmicks, like Saints, if owt they have gone the other way.
They had one of the most iconic badges, until I think copyrighting got in the way and it was going to cost too much to carry on.

I can't remember the Cougars link to Cas TBH although I always thought Panthers would have been good but we already have an amateur team called Cas Panthers.

I think you are right there about Saints - similar to both the Hull clubs with the iconic badges.

Hull did have a stint as the Sharks but lost that name when the merged Gateshead/Hull company was dissolved. There used to be a guy (Hull KR fan) forever posting letters in the RL press saying that the current Hull FC is a new club and that the original one (who's badge and date of birth are still in use)no longer exists.

I remember the Hull Sharks badge - worst in SL ever.

That whole era was mental. Wildcats, seriously? We had one of the most iconic names and brands in the whole of sport, nevermind Rugby league. Unfortunately we've also been run by cretins as long as I can remember.

Having said that Wildcats was by no means the worst name change. Anyone remember Halifax Bombers? Bombers? Really? That was followed by a hasty name change to 'Bluesox', which is arguably even worse.

We seem to have got a new name.... Wakefield Trinity Nil!!

Wakefield Trinity Whitewash!!
