Our History

There have been a number of club badges over the years as the club evolved. The first recorded badge on the jerseys was a White Star on an all black jersey back in 1900 which earned the club the nickname 'the Starlights' back .

With the adoption of the Black and White hoops in 1920/21 the club soon became known as the Magpies the club badge by the 1930's was however a simple shield with the letters TRFC overlayed - similar to the badge of the Barbarians FC.

Over the years the traditional Magpies badge evolved and had a Daffodil added to represent Wales. There have been many variants to the Magpies badge over the years.

By the 1980's the Magpie and Daffodil badge was added to the club jerseys, first with the words Tumble R.F.C. and then by the end of the decade Clwb Rygbi Y Tymbl.
