Did anyone hear the radio Yorkshire commentator say we have dropped the Trinity? He did call us wildcats all game

If someone at the helm takes the decision to drop Trinity then it would signify to me that they don't have a clue about the heritage of the club and are massively out of touch with their fan base.

I can't imagine that being true. Everybody knows how important our heritage is.
I'd protest that decision if they did it.

Doesn't help that the official twitter feed is Wakefield Wildcats

I'm of the opinion that the 'Wildcats' tag has run its course, it's tainted by the negatives of the past 19 years which coincidentally is when it was adopted.

It adds nothing and we'll lose nothing if we ditch it, it was never needed and like Sts we had a very recognisable and unique name already.

Trinity on the other hand is our tradition and heritage it was a poor decision to relegate it in favour of the Wildcats nickname.

Cannot see anyone so out of touch as to take this decision. But if true they will certainly have done a great job in alienating the vast majority of the supporters that are left to give a damn!!

I've never noticed before, but the official FB is also Wakefield Wildcats

Agree totally and I think most fans would agree with this. The only saving grace with the wildcats tag is that one of the other names bandied about at the time it was adopted was, I recall, Wakefield Trinity Tornadoes!

Better than, what was it, Calder?

Obviously changing it without telling the fans and thinking no one will notice or give a .....

But MC knows our feelings on the matter or should do by now, our heritage means a lot

Not sure anything has officially changed has it? Trinity should never be dropped but i don't really see the point in changing anything at present, i have no love for the wildcat tag but neither is it doing any harm. Why bother spending money we probably haven't got rebranding if we don't have to?

Personally I don't think you need the Wildcats name and I think it's only negative.

It's not a recognisable nickname like Bulls or Warriors etc and hasn't ever really worked in becoming THE name of the club unlike at Leeds where the Rhinos name and associated mascot, branding and merchandise has worked.

I can't see any downside to dropping the Wildcats name and reverting to Wakefield Trinity alongside a traditional rebrand. And a rebrand back to Trinity would cost little to nothing.

Wildcats is a bit of a naff name that never took off. I hope you don't lose Trinity. Though it seems like the club are trying to do so by the back door for some strange reason.
