EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_31007.jpg



Quote: RebelRebel "I don't think that's our main problem, tbh. This year's Wigan shirt bears little resemblance to traditional Wigan shirts. They've still sold enough of them though.'"


I don't agree, because they are still cherry and white hoops, albeit after someone has puked cherryade all over it, but still fundamentally cherry and white hoops.

If you go back over the past few seasons, the 2006 and 2010 home shirts were pretty much Trinity shirts (although the colours were a bit iffy on the 2006 one). The 2007 and 2009 shirts were nothing like Trinity shirts. And so even in the last five years, there is no brand identity. If you compare the 2006 and 2010 shirt, and then the Wally Lewis shirt, they are good examples of fundamentally the same design, but all massively different. It doesn't seem that hard to do.

I think one of the reasons we moved away from the 60s design is because it eventually became a symbol of mediocrity as the fortunes of the club declined. In many ways the guys pulling on the shirt made famous by Fox, Turner etc were, if anything, bringing the brand down. I was glad to see the back of it even if I did love that shirt and the era it represented.

My fav shirt is the one with the chevron, worn at Wembley and reserected during the Brad Davies era. Luckily we don't keep a design long enough these days to let it gain much of a stigma. Also like the blue and red hoops of a season or two back. Looked good on the ladies for some reason...

Not sure I can buy into that as Leeds, both football and rugby, were terrible for years but haven't gone too far away from their traditional shirts. (And yes, I know LUFC only adopted the white shirts when Revie took charge to ape Real Madrid, and the Rhinos had a couple of awful shirts in the mid-90s, as everyone did.) I'd rather us have a traditional looking shirt than some of the awful ones we've had in recent years.

These were so crap, I didn't even buy one in the salehttp://www.superleague.co.uk/~rflmedia/images/imagesource.php?image

And copying the England rah-rah shirt, but worse (and modelled by a 'great' ex-player)?

Good point, well made.

Whilst I like this seasons design and have bought both home and away shirts, the quality is rubbish and the badge is not embroidered. The sizing as people are saying are incorrect, not european, I also bought jogging bottoms and had to get two sizes smaller. If next seasons shirts are the same quality I will not be buying any.

Quote: kinleycat "Over the years we have had kits that could have been anyone's, there haven't been many that would have been identifiable as Wakefield Trinity.
Add that to no success and the brand identity disappears.
Wigan have been so successful they could have started playing in yellow stripes instead of red hoops and because they for so many years were the face of RL to many would have got away with it because their brand is so strong.
Our situation is this, our brand is lying dormant, it wouldn't take much to awaken it in the present set of circumstances.
Re launch the traditional shirts, build a stronger team that can start to challenge.
The press for once have done us a bit of a favour, they have done us down and astonishingly we are still here, we have a real Phoenix from the ashes story that we need to start peddling and using the press to promote our story and our brand.
We really need to start work on building a strong identity that the people of Wakefield can get behind, tie it in with the strong image of the past.
This is where the shirts come in, identifying with the potentially massive Trinity brand, it's simple and it's the first step.'"



Thats exactly how the club should view the next shirt released, we should go back to our history and then take huge steps into the future.

I'd love the white shirt with red and blue hoops but, whatever the shirt, please, please, PLEASE can we have the city's coat of arms - the fleur de lys - on the front.

???????



We might want to retain the wildcats for marketing purposes but if we want to rebuild the brand and the link with the city then the fleur de lys should be on there as well. People have referred ro the the wigan shirt which has the town coat of arms. Don't know offhand which othe clubs have them but it would be good to re-establish Wakefield as a rugby league town

I'm lead to believe that what Snowie said is correct regarding the new emblem being on the next shirt, which is a good move.

Also the club have heard all the comments regarding quality, a wider variety of sizes, greater level of choice etc.

Expect better from our merchandising in the future.
