Just wondering what gives with the new scarves? Thought the Brigantes name was adopted in order to distance the movement from perceived 'Ultras' hooligan connotations.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of all the group has accomplished. Just wondering about the reasoning behind it. That's if it is actually part of the Brigantes group or maybe a new faction claiming 'Ultras' for themselves.

I spoke to a few brigante members who don't like the new ultra scarf it's is in the colors of Bradford not Wigan I don't get it ??

in honesty it was an awful scarf!

It just looked like a bunch of attention seekers with daft bradford scarves.

Gave the Hudds fans something to smile about at least.

Where they Blackpool fans lost on their way to Wembley for tomorrow?
Looked orange on my tv lol

Ultras(awful name) briganestts or what ever it is please sto making games about you. Wigan games are about the team we are all fans together not just a few who have a name. Again we are all fans of Wigan so if your going to make a scarf why is it not cherry and white? Why do you feel the need to seperate yourself from all Wigan fans by giving yourself a name amongst wingan fans shall we not just call ourselves Wigan supporters and nothing else

Excellent. Our weekly Brigantes/Ultras thread/moan.

We incorporated Wigan's home and away colours into the scarves, cherry and white for the home strip and black and gold for the away. We appreciate that not everyone will want to purchase one of these scarves, taking this into consideration we also produced a cherry and white scarf, which sadly has sold out in three days. Due to how popular this scarf has been we are going to order more, in order to meet the demand.

We are all wigan fans, let's stop the bickering and get behind the team. What a fantastic win tonight.

Fantastic atmosphere tonight too! Loved every minute of it!

Yes a fantastic win but why does a group of supporters have to have a different name to everyone else?

Rubbish Brigantes. Get the kids in!

The Real Pie R A would be a more badass name.

Whether people like the scarf or not is just down to opinion. Like Dave said. It has the colours from both shirts this year. The other scarf is this....



BTW, cracking atmosphere tonight. Sounded fantastic all the Wigan fans together, brilliant stuff.

Rubbish Scarves. Brigantes out!

We'll never see merchandise like the stuff you produced Pemps

Civil War!

I really liked the bar scarves I got for you. I'm going to make it my new personal crusade to make everyone hate the new scarves.

Rubbish scarves. Out, out, out!!

They moved to the front in the last 10 mins

That made me giggle.

They were cracking. No wonder we sold hundreds of them. Good luck with your crusade

Didn't start this thread to become the latest moan-a-thon on here (apologies Mods!).

Was just curious as to why the 'Ultras' name had re-surfaced after there being so much fuss about adopting the 'Brigantes' name the other year.

As I recall, it was done originally in order to distance the movement from perceived hooligan connotations. What's changed?

This is not a pop at the op but bans need to be started to handed out if a thread like this is made i'm sick of opening the forum and seeing briganties this and that i'm here to talk about rugby not about what scarf they have got out there is a thread about them use that

Brigantes. Ultra sounds like football hooligans, and I don't care what anyone says, put the definition up all you like, but that is the impression that the majority get. I love what the Brigantes do, bought Brigantes scarf last year and went to the fundraiser night, but it just seems that they have divided. Some want Brigantes and some seem intent on breaking away and just doing whatever they want.

(Just do me a favour, if it gets over 30 pages lock it - I've got a bet riding on this
