Another shocking badge.

Are we still going on about this?

I’m bored with it. It’s happened. Move on.

Agreed. I think the club did the right thing when the reasoning was explained (digital footprint, merchandise etc) - not sure the final product was as good as it could have been but it has grown on me a little. Ultimately far bigger fish to fry.

Maybe I’m too quick to move away from traditions but I couldn’t care less tbh. It’s a badge on a shirt and it could be the old one, the new one or a picture of Lenagans face and it would still be Wigan Rugby League Club I’m watching.

I’m more concerned with how things will go on the field and if they go well and we win some games and ultimately win trophies, it’ll be the last thing on my mind.

Yup we are and there's plenty of people (thankfully) that will keep talking about it and bringing it up.

Every kit launch, every retro.shirt, every time that absolutely horrible design of a badge is paraded, it will get called out.

Let’s drop the cherry and white forever
Cherry must be a costly colour to produce so let’s play in white. Simple n cost effective
Let’s play in white with a red vee or be different and say a blue vee

Forget the 150 anniversary it’s a load of shoite it’s only our heritage and history

How old is the warriors nonsense?
A term I never use or ever will do.
Let’s drop the biggest load of shoite that very few people will give a fishes tit about.

You keep your warriors I’ll keep my ancient and loyal .

The post was about the video and how Hull KR engaged with their fans but yeah i will keep banging on about it because it will ultimately affect the club. I always buy the new kit even if i don't like the shirt but no matter how good the jersey is im buying nothing with that garbage on it. I would feel stupid wearing it and would be trying to cover it up so its pointless me having any. I bet there are thousands who think along the same lines and rafts of merchandise goes unsold.

Merchandise sales shot up in 2021 according to a report I read somewhere, so it seems unlikely there are thousands of people who won’t wear anything with the new badge on. In fact due to an increased range of merchandise they can now produce/sell, it seems it may have had the opposite effect.

I get fans of a certain age might not be happy and ultimately I’d have preferred to keep the old badge but times move on. It’s a logo I think the younger generation will prefer and it’s those fans who are the future of the club, so I get it. That video you put on highlights that the process should’ve been better but it’s done now.

I am very firmly in the camp of not buying anything with the new badge on.
I do not understand the need to change and more importantly the way it was handled was awful.
In our house that results in 4 less shirts plus all the other stuff that we all buy.
I know they told us that we had record sales last year but i just do not beleive it.
Surely we sold more during those wembley trips? although keeping records was not a priority back then it seems.

I agree that its not the MOST important thing but it does matter.
We have been here before when they tried introducing that awful design on the blue oval of the guy with the sheild.
We were told that it was all done "get over it"

It was not and we reverted to the "proper badge"

What don’t you understand about the need for change? There are two very clear reasons in my opinion.

1 - financial - they have explained it’s a lot cheaper to use the new badge which should hopefully result in the club increasing revenues & therefore profit.

Something I think we can all agree on is needed given the fact IL has to use his own personally money to allow us to break even.

2 - the club want to be more modern, more digitised and to attract and appeal to the younger audience. The badge will apparently allow them to do that.

Something I think we can all agree on is Wigan need more fans and targeting youngsters is a good way to go.

Do you understand the reasons the club gave or don’t agree with them? They are two very different things and by boycotting such purchasing you are just cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Making things up doesn’t help your argument, in fact it hinders it and shows it to be abit silly.

I’ll have both thanks, I never ditched Ancient and Loyal and neither did the club.
