Ha ha. I remember that song well

I've still got the 'T' shirt with it on.

Me too, especially at Whitehaven August 1998. Me and some mates had been at V Festival at Temple Newsam for weekend and left to drive up to Whitehaven for game to then go back again for the evening. Well worht missing whatever acts were on that afternoon. Happy days!!

Wigan have W.A.R.R.I.O.R. on their shirt, just above the coat of arms/badge.

But they have made the Warrior stand for something.

At the moment there could be some good ones for what Wildcat stands for.

the wildcats is a cringeworthy nickname the worse in RL ridiculed by other fans. We have a world famous brand Wakefield Trinity RLFC. If we want to maximise merchandise sales we should drop the wildcats bad get back to our original badge. Ask hull fans if they prefer the sharks badge and add on or their traditional Hull FC name.

I'm not a big fan of the Wildcats name but if we were successful this discussion would not be happening.

Wouldn't matter if it was a Wildcat or a coat of arms, if you are winning people will support the club.

A change of name doesn't mean a change in fortunes.

Hull changed their name, then moved into a brand spanking new stadium. This helps too!

The club probably use the Wildcat as a marketing tool for the younger end.

They may not go to the match but they might be more inclined to buy something from the shop with a cat on it than a badge.

I don't get this we need the wildcats as a marketing tool, if anything it makes us harder to market. A few kids might like a cartoon cat but once they're over ten they don't want to be walking around wearing a cartoon cat on their shirt a traditional badge would be preferred by young and old. Take HKR for example a similar sized club to ourselves who've kept their name and badge as it always has been, it hasn't put off their young support and they probably sell a lot more merchandise than us to their fans young and old because it's a brand they are proud of young and old.

It's just something to think about a new start, building trust with fans & businesses again, a change to a badge that represents the City and dropping the wildcats tag on might be just what we need ( keep daddycool though). It will be too late for next season but them badges that were doing the rounds on twitter were brilliant font know if anyone can put them on here.

Probably not, i doubt anyone would care and i wouldn't.



I can see both side of this but i'm Trinity all the way if i have the choice.

Wakefield Trinity RLFC worked for me as a kid. I´d like to see us returning to it but agree there are other concerns at the moment!

Wakefield TRICATS ...Everyone's happy.

Having a cartoon rhino hasn't hurt Leeds, but then again, they've won a fair bit over the last few years too. A cartoon wolf hasn't hurt Warrington either.



For me, it can only be Trinity. For my kids, its Wildcats. If we ever win owt again, it'll be the same players we're cheering on, and the same club we support.



It's a bit like "Loiners", "Wire", or "Fartown".



You don't hear anyone shouting "Come on dreadnoughts" these days, unless in jest.

In an ideal world i'd agree with trinity only as it was that which i grew up with but i have no problem with the wildcats add on and it has to be considered that any young fans who have started supporting in the last 15 years have grown up with the wildcats moniker and to even risk changing the identity and losing some connection now just isn't worth it. As has been said there are bigger fish to fry right now.



As an aside, going by manys feeling on here, maybe doing a range of heritage trinity merchandise alongside the new gear would be a good money generating idea.
