| The point of a new shirt, especially in our 150th year, is for people to buy it.
The idea of using the historic shirt design was really good. No one would have complained.
But adding the gold where they have makes it look like a very well known Leeds shirt. There are no two ways about it. It does. I don't mind us playing in it. But if they want to sell them they are not going to do so.
Whoever signed off the gold bit did not do their homework.
Our shirt doesn't actually look like any of their previous shirts, but the gold draws you to that link.
If the ASUS was white or we only gad gold on sleeve and not collar I don't think anyone would have connected so much.
Big miss in my opinion.

That's pretty much where I am. And it doesn't match the historic shirt they're trying to emulate, where there is a real contrast between the hoop colours. Marketing is about branding. This isn't the Trinity brand.
But we've had worse. At least one club has a comedy shirt. And I won't mind when I see Murphy scoring a winning try in it.

Leeds shirt has yellow/amber trim. It’s different to the gold. I looked at both this morning. They’re two different colours.
If we had gone the same colour as Leeds I’d agree but it’s gold and you can clearly see that so I just don’t see an issue.
Leeds have white trim on their shirt. That’s a trinity colour isn’t it?

Imagine you hadn't watched League for ten years but saw a super league trailer for next year with all the captains lined up. You'd be able to identify the clubs involved except us (and Leigh, but that's a whole other story). I think that's the general point.
As a commemorative shirt though, I like the idea. I just can't help thinking that if they are going to do that, it should be the same colours as the original shirt, light blue and black, then at least there is a point to it. This is just a generic blue shirt with gold trim.

| Having not understood originally, I get why the colours have been chosen, but fundamentally light blue, dark blue and gold is not a colour scheme anyone would associate with the Wakefield Trinity of today. As a sport we are quite poor at building a brand identity and going wholesale to change to something we wore back in 1873 when we didnt even play the same sport goes against that. As an away shirt it would be great, as a home one whilst decent it just looks odd. Still makes no difference to me as I never buy the replica's due to them being made out of plastic bags, but I'll have a look at the other items to see if there is anything decent in the range. Hopefully the club will look at bringing out a cotton heritage/commemorative red, white and blue jersey as I would be purchasing that, and it might cover people not buying the shirt because of the colour scheme.

That looks good, and it makes the home jersey make more sense

| Quote Trojan Horse="Trojan Horse"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.
It’s simply a play on words. You work it out.
I am well aware it’s a Trinity shirt but it doesn’t mean I have to like it or buy it and I am simply voicing my opinion for a club I have supported through thick and thin for 60+ years.
The team will still get my support and my money but not on that shirt!
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.'"

| After a few hours I’m warming to it… (just wish the trim had been red and the shorts white) …

| What's done is done I still support the team and I must say the other merchandise does look very good so I may purchase something yet instead of the home shirt!
