The Wexford Youths pictures have been deleted from the top of the club's official twitter account. Like a phoenix from the flames, the metamorphosis begins!!
I wouldn't use Cork or Limerick as examples of the positive implications of name changes.
Cork has had about twelve different clubs in the last 90-odd years, and it ended badly for almost all of them ! Limerick's had a few as well.
Successful clubs tend not to change name.

Cryptic string of tweets by their Twitter as well. So far we have:
W
E
A

W.

I'm guessing an X might be next (real Sherlock Holmes stuff here), looks like an announcement is imminent anyway.
Can someone please explain to those of us not in the loop what the hell is going on?
Wexford Youths FC is no more. Wexford FC will take their place in the SSE Airtricity 1st division in 2017. Remarkably, the new club will play in pink and black at Ferrycarrig Park and even more remarkably, the players have all agreed to play for the new club. Licence application was submitted in the name of Wexford FC and let's just say that no obstacles are expected
It's kind of like that time Derry City ran away from debts and started again.

It's a League of Ireland tradition and we are sticklers for tradition
Commodore 64 graphics crest?!!
I've never had any problems with the crest, not even the blatant plagiarism of Torino, but the one thing i can never abide is that garish font. What is the bloody story with that? It's hideous!
What colour is that?!
We call it Torino Maroon
Home jersey is black with pink trim, away jersey is the reverse
Would have made more sense for them to change to purple and yellow I'd have thought.

We've changed our name, not our code
Wexford FC is a club, not a county side
So now only Bray and Cabinteely have joined the First Division and not gone bust since. And neither has been particularly robust in the past couple of years.
But the FAI's solution to this issue is to expand the Graveyard and hope the problem goes away.
Makes sense.
