From Blue to Red

[Wheelsy]

Fans are rightly upset, but to be honest the hysterical overreaction is a bit much.

Teams have changed colours in English for many many years (Leeds probably being the most recent, well known example), and complete rebrands happen all the time in the US - even this year Florida Marlins changed their name to Miami and changed colours from teal/black to orange/black.

Cardiff's new kit and badge

I know we changed our badge a few years ago, but this is the 4th in 22 years for them. The kit though will be all red. Never in their history have they had red on their kit, and to go from dark blue to that is extreme. The "Bluebirds" are no more. This is because they are supposed to be getting 100 million from their new owners. Could we accept something this extreme, ( forgetting the colour it is going to )??

It probably isn't like this, but the weird thing for me is that the way all the articles are written, they seem to hint that their £100m investment is actually dependent on them accepting the rebranding and recolouring.

I'd be seething if I was a Cardiff fan, I'm cross and I'm only an outsider!

Maybe it's just a tribute to United though, I mean, both clubs are bottlers after all...

If their supporters club is anything like our ticket-whoring sycophantic supporters club, I'm not surprised.

I wasn't to be honest i understand club tradition but Cardiff, Wales, Red, Dragon it all goes together pretty well

that's what you have the national team for, and Swansea already have a red and green away kit.

Only reason blue isn't "marketable" is because it hasn't had as much exposure yet, you really think it's going to bother the Asian markets that we play in sky blue?

Red is markateble in Asia for many reasons other than "exposure", infact thats about the only wrong reason. In China and S Korea its considered lucky and spirtatual. In almost all asian markets its considered lucky. Thats why red is bigger in asia (seriously exposure!!!)
