Which rugby league club is nicknamed the Cherry and Whites?

Wigan Warriors are nicknamed the Cherry and Whites.

The nickname refers to the club’s traditional cherry-red and white colours. Wigan, based in Greater Manchester, is one of the most successful and historically important clubs in English rugby league.

The club was founded in 1872 and joined the Northern Union after the 1895 split that created rugby league. Wigan has won major domestic honours in both the Challenge Cup and the modern Super League era, making its colours familiar to supporters internationally.

The nickname should not be confused with club names based on animals or local geography. Wigan is also commonly called the Warriors, but “Cherry and Whites” specifically highlights the club’s long-standing kit colours.
