Ah, memories of the green 'un and pink 'un along with the performances on the field. Some of the entertaining rugby we are playing now is reminiscent of the team then. Going back to the old name seems fitting. I reckon it's a great idea.

Like you say this gets better and better. Trinity is in everyones who supports Wakefield blood. This is a fine move.
Cannot wait for next seasons shirt with the proper emblem on

Hopefully this will spawn a range of retro clothing that is actually desirable and wearable.

Wally Lewis era adidas shirt please in heavy cotton with embroidered logos and stripes.

Great news. Wakefield Trinity all the way and every day for me.
Those who want to use Wildcats as a nickname still can. There could be a range of Wildcats merch for those who want it as well as a Trinity/Fleur de Lys range.

In my experience I don't think ant decision ever made by the club has met with such universal support (me included).

It's indicative of our current upturn in fortunes, that the in-house, know-it-all, experts on everything over on the VT, have decided this is a bad move, based on a throwaway line by MC in an interview, where he said the decision was based "on a gut feeling," rather than an extensive market research and branding exercise.

12 months ago, our nomenclature would have been beneath most peoples notice.

Sod em we are Wakefield Trinity
(feels good to say that knowing that's what we will be again)

Quite happy that we have returned to what we alwayds should have been. Not that it will affect me in anyway, shape or form though as i don't think i've ever used the wildcats name anyway!

Only problem is possibly we may need two sets of merchandise, the Trinity set and a Wildcats range for the younger generation. We might need a bigger shop!

To be fair, he floated the idea on various social media sites and 99% of responses were positive. Let's say 100 people responded on there, 99 of whom were positive, then that is market research enough for a target market of say 5000 - 10000. All of the fan sites and accounts (Northstanders etc all overwhelmingly in favour) etc.

Pink Un was Yorkshire Evening News and Green Un Evening Post if I remember correctly. Couldn't wait for the Vendor's cry coming onto the street on a Saturday night to read of Trinity's exploits in that day's away game. I delivered them myself for a brief period during my youth and when we got bored we just dumped the remaining papers over a wall.

Well I'm a hundred percent for it. I have never ever used Wildcats when shouting from the terraces - come to think about it I can't remember anyone else shouting Wildcats either. That to me speaks volumes.

nice to see you get your real name back, always have been trinity for me

Agree. All the as you say, ' in-house, know-it-all, experts on everything over on the VT' have to do is take a look at places like the clubs Facebook. Northstand Facebook page, plus this forum and twitter etc to get their answers and they'd see that it's overwhelmingly being welcomed. I suspect though they already know most of that and it's just another reason to have a dig and a whinge.

It's obviously something that's being in the background for a fair while especially with fans but as we all know as a club, we've had other more pressing matters to put right first, both off and on the field.

I'd say if that's all the fellas on VT can criticise the club for at the moment.
1. They have truly sad lives.
2. The club has got it right.
3. They're sheeting themselves

great news - now for the stadium
