I am led to believe that in Wakefield the word would be "Wakey", though I stand to be corrected. In Warrington I'm pretty sure it is "Wire" and never "Wolves". Again I don't claim to speak for the Wire fans though and would be interested to know.
'"
As far as I can see, Wolves tends to only be used in everyday conversation by people who don't really know much about them. The chants are all either 'Warrington' or 'Wire'.
I hate our crest as well. Nothing wrong with just the coat of arms of the town (or a variation thereon), with Warrington RLFC on it. In fact, I think every crest should have RFC or RLFC or FC somewhere on it (even if small).
I like Halifax's- simple, traditional, elegant.

| I don't like the Wildcats. It could be adopted as an official nickname, to keep the mascot and other marketing stuff, but I really don't like the way the club is trying to drop "Trinity". The club website calls the club Wakefield Wildcats, and I think it is only fan pressure that keeps the Trinity in.
For those non-Wakey fans, the club was formed by the Trinity church, who formed lots of sports teams as a way of keeping young men fit and active, with the rugby team turning out to be enduring team. The stained glass windows in the Trinity church were red and blue, hence the club colours. So if you lose Trinity, you are giving away more than just a name. It's an integral part of the club's history.
For me, it's just Wakefield Trinity.

Fits in quite well though with the original ' Chemics ' through to its logical conclusion ' Mutants ' , don't you think
I never use the Vikings ' moniker ' , although it is far from the worst , I'd happily see the end of the Centurions name , although a survey of sorts a couple of years ago showed that that was the name the younger generation now use , doubtful we'll ever hear a chant with it in it though

Ah! And now I see another t1t to make it four.
I think you should use the name [iThe Leigh Lobby Gobblers[/i, with a plate of lobby on your crest. I’m not sure what you’d do for a mascot, but you could use a scruffy tramp, with a big fat belly, and call him [iThe Lazy Lob[/i?
The only problem with that, is he would be indistinguishable from the rest of the LSV home crowd.

Oooooh , hark at him
Seriously when I use the reference ' Mutant ' , it is in homage to your past , I even got the name of my business after driving through Widnes and seeing the Catalyst museum sign
Anyway will you be joining your fellow ...... At the HJ on Sunday ?

Nope.
There was a time when this is exactly the sort of game that I would have gone, regardless of who was in the final, but not these days.

They could always dress it up with a pot of that snotty, frogspawn-like, bean stuff that they eat at their fair.
It's like a veggie alternative to jellied eels - similar to ingesting catarrh

Without wanting to be rude - does anyone seriously think that that playing-with-my-new-cheapo-graphics-software effort is any good? It isn't, it's rubbish. Its standard reminds me a lot of the Bradford College logo (for which frankly embarrassing daub the College paid a six figure sum IIRC).

Now FA, that's unfair on the college. The 6 figure sum was not just for that logo. It also paid for several suggestions for new names for the college.

Erm... that's not actually an official logo. It's something I knocked up playing-with-my-new-cheapo-graphics-software for my banner below, but the black and white bit in the middle is the new logo - or at least it has been since 2008.
I would have thought that most, knowledgeable people would have realized that it was only the stylized WV that I was pointing out as the actual club-brand logo. This was not designed in a colledge but by a professional company. Steve O'Connor told us at a meeting, when the logo was unveiled, that it was designed by a woman, so that maybe where the hanging breast Idea came from.
So you can calm down now and stop frothing at the mouth about how cheap the club is.
