The Story Behind Our Rhino — More Than Just a Logo

Every team has a logo, but at York County Youth Rugby Club, our insignia is more than just a design. It’s a standard — a banner that represents the values and identity of our club.

At the center is the rhino, a symbol chosen for its traits that perfectly mirror what we want our players to embody: strength, resilience, and unstoppable drive. Rhinos are powerful, but they’re also calm, steady, and deliberate — moving forward with purpose rather than reckless speed. That’s exactly how we want our athletes to approach both rugby and life: with confidence, focus, and determination.

The rhino is framed within a dual-layered shield, representing unity, defense, and tactical precision. Rugby is a sport built on teamwork, and the shield is a reminder that no player stands alone. When we take the field, we do it together — every pass, every tackle, every try earned as a team.

Gold accents slash across the rhino like battle scars, a nod to the hard work, grit, and persistence it takes to improve. Growth doesn’t happen without challenges, and every scar represents effort, not defeat. Our players know that nothing is given — everything is earned.

Above and below, the name York County Rugby Club is stamped in a bold, military-style font, echoing the strength and unity we bring to every match. When our players wear this logo, they’re not just representing themselves; they’re representing a club built on pride, respect, and relentless effort.

To our players, families, and supporters, the rhino isn’t just a mascot — it’s a promise. A promise to stand together, to give everything we have, and to face every challenge head-on, whether on the field or off it.
