islingtonclaret Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So not only do Cardiff have to wear red, but they have to wear that monstrosity. I really feel for their fans. Their first ever kit with premier league badges and numbers and it's a terrible design and it isn't blue. am sure the fans dont really care anymore now their team got promoted with their new colours Oh they do.

We'd care if we were offered a Man City type takeover but only if we changed our colours to something totally unrelated to our history. It would be incredibly frustrating and nobody would buy the kits. I wonder if the Cardiff City Stadium is still a sea of blue shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted May 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 30, 2013 The England deal is probably one of the most lucrative in all of football. It might be if they ever won anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all moaning, but the owner has got them into the Prem with his new lucky colour and new lucky badge and new lucky dragon. Personally, I really don't understand the two mismatched reds, but I think they are still voting on the exact combination. I'd have thought it would be easier to sell to the locals if it was mixed up with a bit of white and green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Cardiff City fans are being given the chance to vote for the colour of next seasons shorts - 4 colours. Only season ticket holders can vote. This has come about because of the fan backlash when they were released last week. A club that actually listens to their fans - good on them.

islingtonclaret Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 A club that listens to it's fans. By changing the colours and crest, ditching it's history since about 1910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Now I know what you mean Trent. I didn't know about Cardiff and what has happened over the last few years. I only follow the prem. I guess initially the owners did not listen to the majority of fans regarding kit colours, but it could be argued that this is an attempt to make amends. I now realise my error in the post i made. You guys all have more football knowledge then me. Edited May 30, 2013 by Voinjama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I've said it before on this forum, but Leeds fans don't give two shits that Don Revie changed their home kit from blue and yellow to all white for even more stupid reasons than the Cardiff City owners offered to their fans (he thought it would be nice if Leeds played in the same colours as Real Madrid btw) and I'm pretty sure that Cardiff fans will forget about their current colour change if the club can establish itself in the Premier League like, say, Fulham have. In ten or fifteen years time: "Hey Gareth, do you remember when we played in blue and were really crap?" "No Kelly, I don't." Of course, Cardiff have to do what Leeds did in order for that to work and establish a new tradition by offering the fans a period of sustained success because if they don't do that then the rose tinted spectacles of nostalgia will come out and decades shite football at a shite ground full of hooligans in the bottom two divisions of English football (and lets face it, save for four or five years of failed promotion attempts recently that is where Cardiff have spent the majority of their history) will all of a sudden be remembered as the best days they have ever had. Now I know what you mean Trent. I didn't know about Cardiff and what has happened over the last few years. I only follow the prem. I guess initially the owners did not listen to the majority of fans regarding kit colours, but it could be argued that this is an attempt to make amends. I now realise my error in the post i made. I think the funny thing is that the blue to red shirt change controversy was actually stated in the article you linked. Did you even read it?

islingtonclaret Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I do understand the "if it works, nobody will care in 50 years time", but my counter to this argument is trying to think less about what their situation is and more about if we did the same. Ditching claret and blue for lucky red and changing the crest to St George from the Scottish lion for investiment. I wouldn't be chuffed.

chrisp65 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 These are the same Cardiff fans that were happy enough to follow Sam Hammam when he was rabble rousing a few years back, so I wouldn't give too much sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 That still doesn't put things into context. Whether or not you like Cardiff or not, it's still not on. Saying "this person did this, so I don't feel for them" is a bit of a generalisation, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 aw come on, if I can't have an irrational dislike of a rival footy club on a footy forum..... two days a week most weeks I have to listen to how they are actually probably the biggest club in europe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
