From Blue to Red

if city did this I couldnt support them as much as it would kill me

I thought this idea got canned weeks ago. It's to do with red being the national colour of Malaysia, isn't it?

Outrageous if they've gone ahead with it.

Edit: F*ck me, they've done it. I imagine the fans will only buy the away kit anyway, so it's likely to backfire.

it s disgraceful for the fans.....revolt!

Cardiff fans are revolting.

hm, I've just been to their forums, it's mixed feelings, lot of them are actually accepting it if it has to be.

Don't know much about them but based on some posts there they would be in serious trouble without these owners so lot of them are ready to swallow their pride.

Nah. National colour of Malaysia is yellow. Their first choice national football jersey is yellow or yellow + black and the second jersey is blue or blue + red.

I reckon it's something to do with Chinese, the investors (owners?) origin. Clue: red and dragon.

I'm not sure that was what was meant by 'revolting'

Red is also the national colour for Wales, and the dragon a national symbol. When British Railways ran proper expresses, the main express to South Wales was called the "Red Dragon".

It seems partly to try to establish Cardiff City as the club for Wales. Sam Hammam tried something similar. Swansea fans certainly won't buy that!

Someone else might have posted it but i'm pretty sure it's something to do with red being seen as a 'lucky' colour in Asia & hence more acceptable out there.
Explains a lot about the rags support in Asia

No-one has mentioned about when we went from sky blue to lazer blue or incorporated an eagle on to our crest. Is this not a fair comparison to make?

I heard the club balloted the official supporters club after giving the reasons and 70% voted for the change
