Cardiff to rebrand to red, as blue is "unlucky"

[leigull]

Not a joke apparently........

Cardiff City Forum | Cardiff City Messageboard

Owners want to change their whole brand from blue to red.

Engerland, Engerland.

All the more galling for them as a great little Swansea team went up, and stayed up.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

It worked for Leeds under Revie when they went all-white.

 

[Easy 10]

Indians and Malaysians...f***ing hell, who'd have them as owners ?

As has been said COUNTLESS times - thank god we've got Tony Bloom.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

We'd still be playing in green and white stripes if someone hadn't plucked up the courage to choose blue.

 

[edna krabappel]

Swansea's new away strip is red, in a clear attempt to play on the Welsh patriotism of their fans.

 

[Kumquat]

This one ain't happy.


"What a pathetic comment. If you think that a new red kit and a name chance is livable then I don't want to be associated with fans like you thanks. Good job you wern't around in WW2 as you would have been one of the collaborators that thought it would be livable to have blond hair and blue eyes."

Wasn't that Brighton United who have nothing to do with us?

 

[Gullzone]

I couldn't give a toss what colour they play in. They parked the proverbial bus when they came to the Amex, bloody awful game to watch. Hope they get relegated next season!!!

Exactly this- we are incredibly lucky to have Mr Bloom.

Redbirds just don't have the same ring to it imo.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Didn't know about Leeds

Which other clubs have had a complete kit colour change?

Palace went from claret and blue to white to red and blue

Millwall have gone from royal to dark navy

[leigull]

Swansea fans unsurprisingly loving it, "bank balance has been in red for years, might as well get the kit to match", "from bluebirds to rednecks" etc etc

 

[Braders]

Millwall have gone from royal to dark navy

and white too.

My word! You are right. I stand corrected.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Away kits I guess we can say us, white, red, green and black, yellow...

 

[Perkino]

Flip, If Man Utd win the premership then I will conced and agree with them but seriously an unlucky colour

 

[Storer 68]

Somebody somewhere did an anaysis of clubs colours against club success based on the shirts worn by teams that won things as opposed to teams that didn't.

it concluded that to be successful, a club's shirt needed to be...............

a plain shirt rather than a patterned shirt.........
That teams wer least likely to be successfl when wearing a stripy shirt rather than any other pattern....
That teams won lots more things when they wore red shirts against any other colour

From which we can conclude that a blue and white stripey shirt would seem to prevent a successful football team. and if you want what might pass for proof look at our Division 1/Cup Final shirt as opposed to the shirt we wore at Hereford

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

and white too.

We had white for a season.
