Skull1879 Branding
Inspired by our past. Created for today's supporters. Discover the story behind our new Skull1879 brand.
The Tradition
The skull and crossbones is not a new symbol in Rhyl football. When Rhyl Football Club was formed, the first team played in an all-black strip with a white skull and crossbones displayed on the chest. Although the club's colours and identity evolved over the generations, that striking image remained part of its earliest history. Skull1879 is our modern interpretation of that tradition: a distinctive symbol drawn from Rhyl's footballing past and brought back for today's supporters.
The Tribe
The official RFCST logo represents the Trust as a formal organisation - our membership, governance, community work and relationship with the football club. Skull1879 represents something different: the passion, identity and sense of belonging shared by the supporters behind it.
It does not replace our official logo; it sits alongside it as the more informal, urban face of the Trust. It belongs on flags, clothing and supporter merchandise - where heritage meets terrace culture and individual members become part of a wider tribe.
Our official logo represents the Trust.
Skull1879 represents the people who make it what it is.
