To be fair the logo on their own website is white lettering on a dark background. I'm just thankful it wasn't the rather rude looking whale.

So has the Wetherby Whaler thing gone then? Not a blue chip company but must still be welcome to help the club.

No business is going to change its logo.
That is their front face to the world.

They are willing to reverse the colours which would fit better with the shirt. However the deal may have been to use the white background so as others have said cash is king and what the sponsor wants the sponsor gets.

One would assume that any sponsor has input on how their logo is shown on any merchandise.
I really don't get the "don't like this/don't like that" type comments, they are just bizarre.

For me, any company willing to sponsor the club with decent amounts of cash should be able to have exactly what they want as long as it fits the parameters of the product that it's attached to.

Can you imagine being said sponsor or a potential sponsor and reading some of the "valuable input" on here

We should just be grateful for their investment and also be doing everything to encourage them to keep on supporting the club.

Hell of a gesture from the main sponsor.

We are delighted to announce that our Principle Partner for the 2016 season, Backstage Academy, have donated the front of the Wildcats away shirt back to the club to raise additional funds. The lucky winner will feature on the front of the away playing shirt, and all away replica shirts, for the 2016 season.

All participants who join the Trinity Business Partnership, will receive an executive box for 10 guests at a game of their choice* and an advertising board in the ground. You will then be entered into the Ultimate Grand Draw to feature on the away shirt, which will be drawn in January at the Sponsors Breakfast.

As this draw is taking place at the sponsors breakfast in January - does that mean that we have to wait until then to see next season's Away shirt? Or will it be unveiled before then but without a sponsor and available for pre-ordering??
Just wondering as it is leaving it a bit late to get shirts on sale.

Having said that, I agree with the comments from others - That this is a fantastic gesture from our new Main Sponsor. Well done to all involved.
