Rebranding winner must match club's ambitions

Warrington Town’s officials are launching a competition to create a new club logo to take pride of place on their first team shirt in next season’s Evo-Stik Northern Premier League campaign.

The First Division North's Wire currently have the town’s coat of arms as their badge and are offering a free reign on design to fans as part of the club's 2020 vision to deliver Football League football to the town.

The lucky winner will be presented with a Vice President Package worth £500 for next season, £100 cash and a replica first team shirt. They will also be presented with an England shirt signed by the three footballing legends who’ve been backing their 2020 Football League target since it was unveiled last year - Bryan Robson, Peter Reid and Gary Owen.

Town's Managing Director Toby Macormac said: "The current club badge has served us well. We are a modern progressive, ambitious club and we are always looking at ways to take the club forward and this competition that will embrace the community is one of the many ideas. The current club logo will be considered as an entry within this competition.

"The winning entry will take pride of place on the club shirts and all our associated literature and website. We are giving free reign on design and will be looking for something which best fits our vision."

Officials say the club is opening the competition to anyone who lives in Warrington and will also be working alongside their community partners at Warrington Collegiate, Priestley College and Golden Gates Housing Trust to find the winning design.

The closing date for the competition is June 20. Design ideas should be emailed to: admin@warringtontownfc.co.uk or posted to WTFC PO BOX 1159, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 9LG.
