I have seen the Home shirt too ... and I promise you it is nothing like the Bulls shirt

I've been saying it for a long time Slugger but I think we unfortunately are in the minority.....same as the stupid Wildcats name slowly year by year the club is losing its tradition and heritage..mark my words before long the name Trinity will be dropped completly, Sky,the official website and Wakey express already refer to the club without Trinity 90% of the time. I have never heard anyone shouting or singing Wildcats at a game.

I think you've just answered your own question. The name will always be there for me and, rest assured, it will stay that way at the club as well.

But to be fair when have you heard anyone sing a song with "Trinity" in recently. Most of our song focus around our city name of "Wakefield", fans will always use the name TRINTIY when mentioning us but i don't think you can rub out the usefulness of our "Wildcat" nickname, it draws the kids in and puts money in the pockets of the club.
While i do agree there should be a compromise i.e Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, I cant do with people slag off the club for adding the name (my old man's the worst for it, and god knows what my grandfather would have said to "Wildcats"icon_wink.gif, some people are just short sighted, YES WERE OLD and we can't see the need, but it brings kids and families in and they put as much money as us into the coffers so who are we to shout them or the club down?


BUILD A BRIDGE!

I think the Wildcats versus Trinity argument, whilst not unrelated, is really a separate issue. As far as branding through shirt design is concerned, it has never really bothered me that much whether we have hoops or "v"s or something completely different instead, as long as the club colours are on the shirt. The day I'll be worried is when the home strip is blue and white, or, God forbid, amber and black.... or claret and gold.

being from an era brought up with Trinity ringing in my ears as a kid I have got used to the wildcat name and can relate to the young ones one this, but I won't and can't ever go without the name Trinity or Belle Vue while we play there

Thought this was a shirt thread TBH.
