I'm normally one of the more positive ones on here and whilst I like the design, that to me is a Whino's shirt with a Trinity badge on it. Guess I will have to wait for the Away shirt coming out then!! Anyone know when that will be ??

Orange with black and white trim, so I've heard

Well seeing as we've got a Whino's shirt we might as well have a Cas one as well !!

It’s more of a Leeds Rhinos kit than a Wakefield Trinity one!
I can imagine the Rhinos fans would love it if it were announced as their new kit!

It’s not far off but the amber trim makes all the difference, had that been red I think I’d have liked it!

I do know that Michael Carter said no to this design but he allowed his merchandise manager to make the final decision.

Anyone know the definite original colors ? Posters have said different colours on here . All I've seen is a b n w photo

The colours are described as blue with black/navy hoops.

Nah, it may as well have “marching all together” written on the back of the shirt. Don’t want the club to miss out on any revenue though, I will have find something else in the club shop to spend my £60 or so on.

Was woken up by high winds in the night so copped a quick look… my sleepy original thoughts were that it was a nice design


Having looked long and hard this morning I’ve concluded that as a lifelong fan of the team if I casually saw a game with no sound (can’t stand the sky commentary) I would not recognise that it was Trinity playing.

So … nice design … but not a recognisable Trinity brand … poor choice on the trim colour

Not a shirt I would buy for myself or one I would buy for my kids / grandkids … which is a shame…

Didnt realise we had a merchandise manager. Are we sure hes not a closet Rhino fan ?

Sorry, don't like it. I have to agree with the Leeds replica brigade. Very poor choice, I'll have to think twice about my platinum membership next year as that's two season's disappointment on the trot for me. Hoping for a variation on the legendary "Toppo" shirt design with a special golden badge.
Not for me!!

Apparently not, style yes but colours not, I would suggest you redirect this to the club for not achieving the spirit you thought they were. If they wanted to truly reflect our first shirts the hoops would be blue and black without any gold trim.

I like it. A nice homage to the original Trinity shirt from when the club started with the blue/dark blue hoops, and matches with the original Wakefield coat of arms gold fleur de lys on a blue background.

It's nothing like the original Trinity shirt and 100% like whinos, awful choice and one I'd replace the merchandise manager for if that's the best he can come up with
Like several other posters, I won't be wasting my money on it - my whinos mates will take the rip big time if we go with it...not to mention all our other rivals

If people don’t like it the don’t buy it. Simple solution.

Don’t spend your money on it then. Especially if your more bothered about what fans of other clubs might think instead of supporting the club. You won’t have to worry about it then.

The clubs intentions were clear and they have used a club colour in blue with gold trim representing our 150th. It is a trinity shirt and that is fact.

Is it really a modern take on the original Trinity shirt? I've never seen it or heard it described.

If there is some evidence of this, then it's a neat idea, albeit I agree that the trim should be red, not gold.

If this is the idea of a merchandising manager, the manager needs to take a course on brand identity. As someone else has said, you wouldn't know it as a Wakefield shirt. Potentially a good idea but badly executed due to the Rhinos comparison.

But if anyone feels miffed about it, take a tour of the Leigh shirt.

Cue Derrick pulling another P.R. stunt to get the camera back in his direction.

TBH, I don't give a sh*t what fans of other clubs think......
I won't be buying it and I do support the club through thick and thin.
I don't like it. End of.

Really disappointed with this “Home” shirt, it would have been acceptable as an “Away” or a one off to celebrate 150 years.

I always buy the home kit as it generally Red, White and Blue, I like those colours and synonymous with Wakefield Trinity.

Both my kids agree too and for the first time neither are bothered about having the shirt for Christmas.

The club have put a photo of the original Trinity shirt on their faceache page

I'm totally in agreement RC, I actually like the design, but the colour combination has nothing whatsoever to do with the Wakefield Trinity colours widely recognised.
Of course, it makes no difference to my support for the players wearing it but I did hope for something a little bit special to mark 150 years of the club, based on OUR recognised club colours of RW and B and I would have bought one.
As it is I will definitely not be buying a Leeds Rhinos shirt. Silly decision IMO.

Whether we like it or not let’s hope the players wear it with pride.

Oh, and the younger fans like it as they tend to be the ones who buy them.

Up the Trin

Again it’s not a Leeds Rhinos shirt. It’s a Wakefield Trinity shirt. You may not like the colour (despite it being blue which is one of trinity recognised colours) but get it right. It is very much a Wakefield shirt and it’s only a section of sulking fans who are comparing it to rhinos shirt. Our kit this year has no semblance to both Rhinos kits this year either.


Can you imagine us releasing a spearmint green shirt like Rhinos have. We’d have this forum camping outside the club with placards.


Why would you buy a Rhinos shirt anyway?? Just buy this trinity shirt instead



About time we had something different instead of the same boring designs year on year. I just looked at Leeds shirt and it’s boring and naff compared to ours and critically nothing alike.

I’m a traditionalist in every way but as a one off for a one off year I really don’t see the issue. I’m not just supporting the club on this either, I just don’t care, I get why it’s been done.

I guess im kind of in the middle. Been watching since 1996 when I was a lad but I was against the badge change to Wildcats and have always called them trinity even through that section of the clubs history. I put my greediness in preference down to growing up and having experienced both the humbleness of things like 4 channels on the old small tv’s, top loaders, no mobile phones etc to then experiencing the luxury of the technology boom we have seen in the 90/00s when I was a teen and young adult.

I like tradition but equally I do like something modern and adventurous. I don’t feel the need to exclude one or the other in many walks of life.

Blue and gold is a cracking combination of colours too. The more I see it then more I want to go out and buy it today.

It doesn’t bother me people not liking it. We all have opinions. It bothers me people calling it a Leeds shirt. Leeds didn’t make it and it looks nothing like the Leeds kits announced.
