'''Trapani Shark''' is an Italian basketball team that is based in Trapani, Sicily.

Founded in 2023, it is the successor to Pallacanestro Trapani.<ref>[https://www.basketinside.com/a2-girone-rosso/news-a2-ovest/nota-della-pallacanestro-trapani-inoltrata-alla-federazione-la-documentazione-per-il-passaggio-del-titolo-sportivo-a-trapani-shark/ basketinside.com]</ref> The team plays its home games at Palallio.

In 2023, the team triumphed over their rivals, Blu Basket, to win the Supercoppa LNP.<ref>{{cite web |title=VICTORY IN THE SUPER CUP, PRESIDENT ANTONINI: "ALL UNITED TO TRIUMPH IN BOTH BASKETBALL AND FOOTBALL" | date=24 September 2023 |url=https://trapanishark.it/news-dal-club/vittoria-in-supercoppa-presidente-antonini-tutti-uniti-per-trionfare-sia-nel-basket-che-nel-calcio/?fbclid=IwAR2bzuW9qu44NO--dSUZqVZILWeJ5pc5HZgLB1VuxWnEVgcaVcIVbD2GdAA |access-date=26 September 2023}}</ref>

== History == === Origins === In the 1930s, Trapani's youth sports organizations, such as the '''F.G.C.''' (Fascist Youth Combat Groups from 1930 to 1937) and the '''G.I.L.''' (Italian Youth of the Lictor from 1937 to 1943), laid the groundwork for the development of basketball in the city by organizing the first teams to compete in regional championships during the fascist regime. The earliest recorded basketball game in Trapani took place in 1934, when the local F.G.C. team faced a team from Castellammare del Golfo. In June of the same year, a regional championship was held,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/cusmaschile/1933-34.htm|title=Campionato Regionale Fasci Giovanili di Combattimento 1933-1934|publisher=www.basketcatanese.it|access-date=19 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/cusmaschile/1933-34.htm|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> where the Trapani team competed against peers from Catania and Agrigento.

In 1935, the F.G.C. Trapani participated in the "Palermo Tournament,"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/gilmaschile/1934-35.htm|title=Torneo Palermo-Seconda Divisione 1934-1935|publisher=www.basketcatanese.it|access-date=19 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/gilmaschile/1934-35.htm|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> possibly an early form of the Second Division, alongside teams from Sicilian cities such as Catania, Enna, Caltanissetta, Agrigento, Syracuse, Messina, and Palermo.

In 1937, the Fascist Youth Combat Groups merged into the Italian Youth of the Lictor, which, in 1938, organized the 15th Sicily Group of the GIL First Division.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/gilmaschile/1938-39.htm|title=Prima Divisione GIL 1938-1939|publisher=www.basketcatanese.it|access-date=19 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/gilmaschile/1938-39.htm|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> The Trapani team competed alongside teams from Catania, Agrigento, Enna, and Caltanissetta.

In the early 1940s, young athletes from the GIL joined the Trapani '''G.U.F.''' (Fascist University Group), which participated in Group IV of the 1941–1942 Serie B alongside G.U.F. Palermo and G.U.F. Messina. During this period, notable athletes, often versatile in multiple sports, included Umberto Saura (15 November 1915 – 12 January 2000), who excelled in track and field as a pole vaulter and played football for Juventus Trapani, alongside Alberto Corso, Gaetano Sabato (football and track and field), Antonino Ferlito, Rocco Cernigliaro, and Paolo Calafiore (track and field).

Former GIL and GUF athletes who transitioned into coaching and administration, including Bartolomeo Sorrentino, Alberto Cardella, Pino Cardella, and Osvaldo La Cavera, further developed these sporting and organizational foundations.

The post-war period saw the rise of teams driven by associational initiatives or public and independent entities promoting sports activities and championships. '''Libertas Trapani''', active in the 1940s, participated in regional championships<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/grifone/1945-46.htm|title=Campionato Regionale 1945-1946|publisher=www.basketcatanese.it|access-date=20 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223125355/http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/grifone/1945-46.htm|archive-date=23 February 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> for admission to the 1945–46 Serie A. This team was a local branch of the post-war Libertas National Sports Center, which was established to promote sports culture.

'''Corda Fratres Trapani''', a local branch of the Corda Fratres (International Student Federation), was revived after the war and participated in various local and regional tournaments. It later merged, under the leadership of Girolamo "Mommo" Marchello, into the '''Trapani Basketball Association''', active until 1953, when it joined Enal Trapani.<ref>{{Cite book | publisher = Arti grafiche Corrao, Trapani | last = Cardella | first = Alberto | title = Trapani, Rassegna mensile della provincia - Il Basket a Trapani | date = 1957 }}</ref>

Following a similar model to Libertas, the '''Enal Trapani Sports Group''', later known as '''Virtus Enal Trapani''' (or Virtus Trapani Dopolavoro), emerged as a local branch of the National Workers' Assistance Agency. Under the presidency of Professor Renzo Venza and Pio Cavasino, and with the sporting direction of Leonardo Scalabrino, the team was active in the 1950s and 1960s. Virtus Enal competed in Serie C championships and one Serie B championship in 1964–65, earning promotion by defeating Concordia Agrigento 60–37 in the promotion tournament finals held in Agrigento.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.francoauci.it/admin/libri/immagini/album_9.pdf|title=Per non dimenticare.

The latter sport united a group of young players who, coached by Ettore Daidone, remained undefeated for about two years across southern Italy, winning three consecutive championships and reaching ''Serie A'' (the second tier of the Italian basketball pyramid from 1955 to 1965).

In the 1958–59 season, ASP Rosmini Trapani finished second behind Virtus Enal, which won the Promotion championship,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.francoauci.it/admin/libri/immagini/album_6.pdf|title=Per non dimenticare.

This championship served as a prelude to subsequent seasons that unexpectedly propelled the yellow-green team to the top of Italian basketball.

In the 1962–63 season, ASP Rosmini Trapani competed in Serie B,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.francoauci.it/admin/articoli_anni_60-70/immagini/ac31a79b15202ce57fae596b141641cd.jpg|title=Pallacanestro: domenica il via al campionato di Serie B|author=Franco Auci|publisher=www.francoauci.it|access-date=24 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.francoauci.it/admin/articoli_anni_60-70/immagini/ac31a79b15202ce57fae596b141641cd.jpg|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> reaching the final group for promotion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.francoauci.it/admin/articoli_anni_60-70/immagini/58a34cd49576cfad7ae949321622a640.jpg|title=Catanzaro e Rosmini verso la Promozione|author=Franco Auci|publisher=www.francoauci.it|access-date=24 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.francoauci.it/admin/articoli_anni_60-70/immagini/58a34cd49576cfad7ae949321622a640.jpg|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/grifone/1962-63.htm|title=Serie B 1962-1963|publisher=www.basketcatanese.it|access-date=20 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.basketcatanese.it/storia/grifone/1962-63.htm|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> By defeating Salerno 65–52,<ref name="rosmini"/> the team secured promotion to ''Serie A-Seconda Serie'' with a roster of local players, including Roald and Giuseppe Vento, Nino Fodale, Ignazio Voi, Roberto Naso, Giovanni Crimi, Franco Gallo, Aldo Guarnotta, Giuseppe Ruffino, and Carlo Lungaro (future president of the Enichem Priolo women's basketball team).

Despite financial challenges, in their debut in 1963–64 Serie A-Seconda Serie, the Trapani team finished ninth (second-to-last), tied with Pall. Catanzaro, with Foggia finishing last. However, a protest by Catanzaro regarding a game played in Bari<ref name="rosmini"/> eliminated the possibility of a relegation play-off, resulting in Rosmini's relegation.<ref>Following the withdrawal of DD Marina di La Spezia, the ninth-placed teams from the four 1963–64 groups (La Torre Reggio Emilia, Virtus Friuli Udine, Basket B.C. Roseto, and Rosmini) were invited to apply for readmission to Serie A. However, due to financial difficulties, Rosmini was unable to submit the application in time.</ref> This led to the dissolution of the association, which lacked a solid organizational base to continue in the championship, and some players moved to other teams, such as U.S. Palermo or Cestistica Trapani.

In December 1964, '''Cestistica Trapani''' was founded, with Francesco Calamia, a Trapani politician and multiple-time Mayor of Trapani, as president. The team inherited Rosmini's sporting title and players, some of whom were also founders of the team.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.trapaninostra.it/Edicola//Trapani_Nuova_1965_anno_07_n_001.pdf|title=La Cestistica Trapani (ex Rosmini) al via della Serie B|newspaper=Trapani Nuova|date=5 January 1965|page=3|access-date=21 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.trapaninostra.it/Edicola//Trapani_Nuova_1965_anno_07_n_001.pdf|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> The team competed in Serie B and C championships, achieving strong results in youth categories and consistently participating in national finals, especially in the early 1970s.<ref>Nicola Rinaudo, ''Cinquanta anni nel canestro'', «Lo scarabeo»; in ''La stampa e la Pallacanestro Poiatti Trapani'', 1983–84.</ref>

In November 1965, '''Cestistica''' was renamed '''Cestistica Edera Trapani'''<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.trapaninostra.it/Edicola//Trapani_Nuova_1965_anno_07_n_042.pdf|title=Cestistica «Edera»|author=Erycus|newspaper=Trapani Nuova|date=9 November 1965|page=3|access-date=21 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.trapaninostra.it/Edicola//Trapani_Nuova_1965_anno_07_n_042.pdf|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> under the initiative of Antonio Montanti (a Trapani politician from the Italian Republican Party, hence the team's name), with Giovanni Denaro as president and Giuseppe Vento as vice-president. The team competed in Serie C and participated in the Italian Cup on two occasions. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Italian Cup involved interregional qualifiers, with teams from the top tier down to Serie D competing in groups.

In the 1970–71 tournament, Edera (then in Serie D) advanced past the preliminary rounds of the ''Southern Group'' (due to U.S. Palermo's withdrawal in the first round and Etna Catania's in the second) but lost by one point to Libertas Brindisi (then in Serie B) in the quarterfinals.

In the 1972 Italian Cup, the Trapani team was eliminated in the first round by Splugen Reyer Venezia, a top Serie A team at the time. Edera continued its activities, primarily in Serie C, with one relegation to Serie D in 1974, featuring players such as Salvatore "Libero" Ernandez, Paolo Mollura, and Andrea Magaddino, who later became key figures for Pallacanestro Trapani and Basket Trapani.

Meanwhile, Giuseppe Vento remained a driving force in Trapani basketball, both as a player and administrator, striving to revive and energize a club that had long languished at lower national competitive levels. He also introduced Vincenzo Garraffa to basketball.

Garraffa, a politician, laid the groundwork for a new club, ''Pallacanestro Trapani'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.conitrapani.it/chi/storia.htm|title=Lo sport nella provincia di Trapani|author=Ignazio La Cavera|publisher=CONI Comitato Provinciale Trapani|access-date=4 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090624060830/http://www.conitrapani.it/chi/storia.htm|archive-date=24 June 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> particularly after a painful relegation to Serie C2 in 1981.

=== Pallacanestro Trapani (1980–1997) === ==== Early years ==== In 1980, Edera Trapani was renamed '''Pallacanestro Trapani''',<ref>Trapani Nuova, Thursday 16 October 1980</ref> and its colors changed from green to maroon. In 1981, Vincenzo Garraffa became president, supported by Salvatore Mazzara, Giovanni Crimi, Roald Vento, and Elio Ippaso. After relegation to Serie C2, the club underwent a technical and organizational restructuring.

In the 1981–1983 period, by signing players such as Tuscan Francesco Mannella, Luigi "Gigi" Ranieri, and Amedeo Mazza, and hiring a non-local coach, Abruzzese '''Emilio "Mimmo" Trivelli''', the new club achieved two consecutive promotions: first to Serie C1, secured a game early by defeating Orlandina, and then to Serie B, a hard-fought promotion won in the play-off final against Virtus Ragusa 2–1 (135–130 in the first win after three overtimes, playing the final minutes four against five,<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2005/09/24/anche-il-basket-fa-il-pieno.html|title=E anche il basket fa il pieno|author=f.t.|newspaper=La Repubblica|date=24 September 2005|page=Palermo 18|access-date=4 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2005/09/24/anche-il-basket-fa-il-pieno.html|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> and 93–81 in the second, with 24 points from Campolattano<ref>{{Cite news|author=Franco Auci|title=Trapani a valanga conquista la B|newspaper=Giornale di Sicilia|date=30 May 1983|page=15}}</ref>).

The maroon team spent six seasons in Serie B and later in Serie B1. In the 1983–84 season, their first in Serie B,<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.francoauci.it/admin/articoli_anni_80-90/immagini/e9651d43f27a27910961ee21ee1240b6.jpg|title=La Pallacanestro Trapani si prepara all'avventura della serie B|author=Franco Auci|newspaper=Trapani Sera|date=9 September 1983|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.francoauci.it/admin/articoli_anni_80-90/immagini/e9651d43f27a27910961ee21ee1240b6.jpg|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> they achieved a respectable seventh place, supported by Angelo Destasio and Giuseppe Padua (along with Mannella and Ranieri).

The following year, in 1984–85, coach Mimmo Trivelli left, and Bruno Boero took over with Massimo Cosmelli. The team finished second, tied with Sutor Montegranaro, but missed the play-offs due to unfavorable head-to-head results.

In the 1985–86 season, the maroon team again finished second, tied with Facar Pescara, but missed the promotion play-offs due to unfavorable head-to-head results, though they were admitted to Serie B1.

==== Serie B d'Eccellenza ==== In the 1986–87 Serie B d'Eccellenza, a single national group, Pallacanestro Trapani, coached by Stefano Michelini, avoided the relegation play-offs on the final day by defeating Stamura Ancona (with an outstanding Angelo Destasio) to finish ninth.

The following season, 1987–88, was tumultuous, culminating in a relegation play-off. Finishing 13th, the team faced Esperia Cagliari on 8 May at the PalaMaggiò in Caserta, winning 88–72 to retain their spot in the second tier.

The arrival of coach Gianfranco Benvenuti and general manager Valentino Renzi (former president of Legabasket) in 1988 brought a technical and managerial leap forward. The 1988–89 season was one of consolidation, with a strong fifth-place finish, integrating new players such as Davide Lot and Antonio Guzzone.

==== Serie A ==== [[File:Reggie Johnson.jpg|thumb|Reggie Johnson, a key figure in the promotion to Serie A1]] In the 1989–90 B1 season, the arrival of sharpshooter Giuseppe Cassì and the ''Vini Racine'' team, after finishing second in the regular season behind Mens Sana Siena, achieved a long-planned goal under president Vincenzo Garraffa. They defeated Sangiorgese<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.molisebasket.net/htm/8990.htm|title=Serie B1 - la stagione 1989/90|author=Stefano Castellitto and Giuseppe Villani|publisher=www.molisebasket.net|access-date=4 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://www.molisebasket.net/htm/8990.htm|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> in the play-offs, winning 86–77 in Trapani. In Porto San Giorgio, the game was halted after Mario Piazza was hit by a lighter thrown from the crowd, with the game ending 84–81 for the home team. However, a sports tribunal awarded Trapani a 2–0 victory, securing promotion to Serie A2.

In their first 1990–91 A2 season, ''Birra Messina Pallacanestro Trapani'' aimed for survival, finishing eighth in the regular season, which unexpectedly earned them a spot in the play-offs for promotion to Serie A1. They competed in the ''Yellow Group'', finishing tied with Filanto Forlì and Kleenex Pistoia. Based on head-to-head results, Trapani was promoted to the top tier for the first time in its history.<ref>For Sicilian basketball, Pallacanestro Trapani's presence in A1 was a historic milestone, as the island's representation in the top tier had been limited to three brief appearances: the unfortunate participation of GUF Palermo in the 1942–43 tournament, withdrawing after one game due to the Allied invasion of Sicily; the post-war participation of Giglio Bianco Catania in the ''Southern Group'' of the 1945–46 championship; and '''Palermo SC''' in the ''Southern Group IX'' of the 1946–47 championship.</ref>

This "double jump" from B1 to A1 was driven by the tenacity of coach Gianfranco "Cacco" Benvenuti (who repeated his success with Reggio Calabria) and a solid core of players, including Francesco "Ciccio" Mannella, Claudio "Bibo" Castellazzi, Mario Piazza, Giuseppe Cassì, and Davide Lot, bolstered in A2 by two highly skilled American players: power forward Reggie Johnson, an NBA champion in 1983 with the Philadelphia 76ers, and center Bobby Lee Hurt.

For all of Sicilian sport, Pallacanestro Trapani's presence in A1 was a historic achievement. In the 1991–92 Serie A1, Giancarlo Sacco replaced Gianfranco Benvenuti, who stepped down for health reasons. With the previous season's roster retained and new additions Stefano Tosi, Wendell Alexis, and John Shasky, the Trapani team unexpectedly finished 14th, defeating Scavolini Pesaro on the final day (with a last-second shot by Tosi), avoiding the second-to-last spot and direct relegation to A2. However, relegation was only delayed, as a disappointing play-out phase ended their top-tier tenure.

Trapani remained in Serie A2 for four more seasons, sponsored by ''Tonno Auriga''. In 1992–93, coached by Riccardo Sales, they finished 10th. In 1993–94, with Giancarlo Sacco returning to replace Ninni Gebbia, they secured 11th place. Meanwhile, President Garraffa stepped down and the remaining shareholders took over management of the club. In 1994–95, with three coaching changes, they finished 14th.

==== Financial crisis and bankruptcy ==== The following year, the club's financial crisis worsened,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1996/febbraio/23/basket_allarme_per_Trapani_co_0_9602235907.shtml|title=Basket: allarme per Trapani|publisher=Corriere.it|access-date=4 September 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220120105432/http://archiviostorico.corriere.it/1996/febbraio/23/basket_allarme_per_Trapani_co_0_9602235907.shtml|archive-date=20 January 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> becoming irreversible, leading to a lackluster 1995–96 season, finishing 14th and last, resulting in direct relegation to Serie B1.<ref name="web.legabasket.it">{{Cite web|url=http://web.legabasket.it/team/history.phtml?id=TP|title=Scheda riassuntiva sul sito della Lega Basket|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180401000000/http://web.legabasket.it/team/history.phtml?id=TP|archive-date=1 April 2018}}</ref>

In 1997, after an unremarkable Serie B1 season, Pallacanestro Trapani failed to register for the following championship, leading to the Federal Council's revocation of its league affiliation.

==== Return to Serie A ==== For the return to Serie A after 32 years, the Trapani management opted to change the coaching staff, hiring experienced Croatian coach Jasmin Repeša, with Andrea Diana agreeing to stay as assistant coach. The regular season concluded with a second-place finish and qualification for the playoffs, where the team defeated Pallacanestro Reggiana in the quarterfinals but was defeated by Pallacanestro Brescia in the semifinals. During the season, the team was also eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia by Pallacanestro Trieste.

For the following season (2025–26), the club will face a four-point deduction in the standings due to administrative irregularities.<ref>{{Cite web |language=it-IT |url=https://www.gazzetta.it/Basket/21-05-2025/trapani-basket-penalizzato-4-nel-2025-26-per-irregolarita-amministrative.shtml |title=Mazzata sul Trapani basket: irregolarità amministrative, -4 da scontare nella prossima stagione |website=La Gazzetta dello Sport |access-date=2025-05-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250523000000/https://www.gazzetta.it/Basket/21-05-2025/trapani-basket-penalizzato-4-nel-2025-26-per-irregolarita-amministrative.shtml |archive-date=23 May 2025 |url-status=live}}</ref>

== Colors and symbols == === Colors === The Trapani Shark uniforms are maroon with white trim for away games, while for home games, the colors are reversed.

The maroon color is commonly used by Trapani’s major sports clubs and derives from the ''maroon blazon'' of the city’s coat of arms. Specifically in basketball, maroon was chosen by the original ''Pallacanestro Trapani'' (1981–1997 and 2011–2023), ''Basket Trapani'' (1997–2011), and the current club. Previously, Trapani’s main teams opted for green: ''Rosmini Trapani'' (1957–1964) and ''Edera Trapani'' (1969–1981) before transforming into Pallacanestro Trapani. In 2023, Trapani Shark chose a black jersey, returning to maroon the following year.

Below is a selection of historical Trapani basketball uniforms:

== Official symbols == === Emblem === The initial ''Pallacanestro Trapani'' chose as its logo a graphic integration of the five towers, a symbol of the city, embedded within a maroon-colored basketball, with the club's name displayed below.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pallacanestroatrapani.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/1024_295-pixels5.jpg |title=I quattro loghi delle principali società trapanesi |publisher=pallacanestroatrapani.wordpress.com |access-date=12 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250923095800/https://pallacanestroatrapani.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/1024_295-pixels5.jpg |archive-date=23 September 2025}}</ref>

Subsequently, with the establishment of ''Basket Trapani'' in 1997, Andrea Magaddino's management selected a dolphin as the club's symbol, holding a basketball while leaping through a hoop (representing the basketball rim), set against a maroon-colored triangle background featuring the club's name in two distinct calligraphic fonts.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.trapanioggi.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/basket-trapani.jpg |title=Logo Basket Trapani 1997 |publisher=Basket Trapani |access-date=12 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250923095800/http://www.trapanioggi.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/basket-trapani.jpg |archive-date=23 September 2025}}</ref> The Massinelli management commissioned Mino Poma, a Trapani-based graphic designer and club executive, to undertake a radical redesign of the logo, choosing the tower (drawn from the city’s coat of arms) as the main symbol, prominently featured within a maroon-colored basketball, while retaining the original calligraphic style of the club’s name.

In 2011, following a change in ownership and the renaming of the club from ''Basket Trapani'' to ''Pallacanestro Trapani'', a new logo was introduced. It featured a blue "T" at the center of a graphically deconstructed basketball, symbolizing the city’s five towers at the top and a stylized scythe at the bottom. The logo’s layout was completed with the club’s name positioned at the bottom right, using two different text styles (bold and regular).

With the club’s re-establishment, the current emblem takes the form of a "shield" and incorporates the historical symbols of Trapani’s coat of arms: the ''five towers'' and the ''scythe''. The towers and scythe, set above waves representing the sea, are displayed on a maroon background, with the club’s name featured at the top.

=== Mascot === Following the sponsorship by ''Tonno Auriga'' from the Trapani-based company "''Nino Castiglione''" in 2013, the official mascot, Aurighetto, was introduced, named in honor of the company. Aurighetto is a blue tuna wearing a traditional white sailor’s cap and the team’s uniform.

With the renaming to ''Trapani Shark'' in 2023, a new mascot was introduced: "Maverick," a blue shark wearing a maroon jersey featuring the city’s five towers and scythe in gold at the center.

== Sponsors == Over the years, the commercial "naming" of basketball in Trapani (the sponsor) has primarily been associated with Sicilian companies or those connected to Sicily. These include the Mazara-based ''Pasta Poiatti'', ''Olio Caruso'', ''Vini Racine'', ''Birra Messina'', and ''Tonno Auriga''. During its year in Serie A1, the Trapani club lacked a sponsor, and president Vincenzo Garraffa opted for a symbolic self-sponsorship with an anti-mafia message, using the slogan "''L'Altra Sicilia''" (The Other Sicily). The Magaddino management maintained a preference for local banking institutions, while the Basciano presidency linked the team’s naming to the ''Lighthouse Group'', where he serves as CEO. With the ownership transition to Antonini, the main sponsors reflect the entrepreneurial ventures of the new management, focusing on commodity trading in the agricultural sector and sports investment management.

* "Degli Spalti" gymnasium and field from the 1930s to the 1960s. The earliest sports activities took place in an area in front of the city’s ancient walls, near the bastion known as "Impossibile," which defined one of its boundaries. The primary activity was football, interspersed with other sports such as athletics and basketball. Teams from the fascist youth organizations (FGC, GIL, and GUF), as well as Libertas Trapani and Enal Trapani, played their matches there.

* "Antonio Rosmini" gymnasium, "ex GIL" field, and "Cappuccini" gymnasium were primarily used in the 1960s and are still in existence.

* "Dante Alighieri" gymnasium<ref name="palasport"/> from 1968 to 1982 (capacity: 300 spectators). This gymnasium, named after the promenade where it is located, marked the beginning of Trapani’s basketball activities in the 1960s. In 1983, Pallacanestro Trapani achieved promotion to Serie C1 and played a friendly match against Indesit Caserta, featuring Oscar Schmidt.

* "Tenente Alberti" gymnasium<ref name="palasport"/> from 1982 to 1986 (capacity: 800 spectators). The gymnasium was inaugurated on 31 October 1982 with a match between Pallacanestro Trapani and MMP Palermo.

== Presidents and coaches == === Presidents === The recent history of basketball in Trapani has seen several presidents, many of whom are representatives of local entrepreneurship.

'''Francesco Todaro''', an architect and entrepreneur, served as treasurer and vice president under Garraffa’s management. In 1994, he took over the club during its challenging final two years in Serie A2, later handing over leadership to Carlo Maccotta and Salvatore Mazzara.

'''Alberto Montericcio''',<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2000/12/14/improvvisa-crisi-dirigenziale-trapani.html |title=Improvvisa crisi dirigenziale a Trapani |author=Fabio Tartamella |date=14 December 2000 |publisher=www.repubblica.it |access-date=16 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250923095800/https://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2000/12/14/improvvisa-crisi-dirigenziale-trapani.html |archive-date=23 September 2025}}</ref> a Trapani doctor and entrepreneur, co-founded ''Basket Trapani'' in 1997 with Filippo Mucaria and Andrea Magaddino. Following Mucaria’s resignation in 2000, Montericcio transferred full management to Magaddino.

He later led the club alone, achieving notable successes such as five promotion finals in Serie B d’Eccellenza/Serie A Dilettanti and a promotion to Legadue.

'''Alessandro Massinelli''',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://marsala.it/lettere/item/36249-basket-a-trapani-c%C3%A8-il-passaggio-di-testimone.html |title=Basket: a Trapani c'è il passaggio di testimone |publisher=marsala.it |access-date=12 September 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250923095800/http://marsala.it/lettere/item/36249-basket-a-trapani-c%C3%A8-il-passaggio-di-testimone.html |archive-date=23 September 2025}}</ref> an entrepreneur from Ribera (AG), with prior executive experience at Ares Ribera, Ares Palermo, and Verga Palermo, acquired the club’s ownership on 16 June 2009. His tenure was tumultuous, marked by financial difficulties that caused unrest within the team, though it still achieved promotion to Legadue. This promotion was later revoked by the FIP federal council, resulting in the team’s forced enrollment in Divisione Nazionale C, a three-division demotion.

'''Pietro Basciano''',<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pianetabasket.com/palla-a-spicchi/il-basket-trapani-cambia-proprieta-dichiarazioni-pietro-basciano-24092 |title=Il Basket Trapani cambia proprietà: dichiarazioni Pietro Basciano |publisher=www.pianetabasket.com |access-date=12 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250923095800/http://www.pianetabasket.com/palla-a-spicchi/il-basket-trapani-cambia-proprieta-dichiarazioni-pietro-basciano-24092 |archive-date=23 September 2025}}</ref> a Trapani entrepreneur with businesses in Emilia-Romagna, acquired the club in August 2011, forgoing an appeal to the TAR initiated by the Massinelli management against the FIP. He began a new era, renaming the club ''Pallacanestro Trapani Sporting Club'' and, after two years, led it to the second-tier national championship, DNA Gold, by exchanging its sporting title with Scafati Basket. The team reached the promotion playoffs for Serie A1 a few times, exiting in the first round. Basciano remained president until June 2023, when he did not register the team for the Serie A2 championship, unable to reach an agreement for the transfer to entrepreneur Valerio Antonini.

'''Valerio Antonini''',<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.alpauno.com/basket-cessione-titolo-alla-trapani-shar-di-antonini-inviata-documentazione-in-fip/ |title=Basket, cessione titolo alla Trapani Shark di Antonini. |date=July 2023 |publisher=www.alpauno.com |access-date=13 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250923095800/https://www.alpauno.com/basket-cessione-titolo-alla-trapani-shar-di-antonini-inviata-documentazione-in-fip/ |archive-date=23 September 2025}}</ref> a Roman entrepreneur and manager in the global agricultural commodity trading sector, re-founded the club in June 2023, naming it ''Trapani Shark''.
