But there are a few quotes from fans saying they like it too. In the first paragraph they say "can best be described as a mixed response". But isn't that how it always is with anything where people have the chance to show opinion on something like a shirt? I do find it kind of sad that you would use a 50-50 article in a way to imply we always complain or that when we do we are unique in doing so.

The9 Posted 29 May, 2013 Share Posted 29 May, 2013 It's a terrible, terrible shirt, made worse by the fact their rebrand was for red and black last season, and are for some reason wearing red and white this. The reds don't match, the collar looks cheap (looks much nicer on the Newcastle home), the shorts just look like a mismatch and the white bits look tacked on. Our red kit might be crap, but at least it isn't going to look CHEAP and crap. Weird really, the Puma Newcastle away looks quite nice. Incidentally, Malaysia wear yellow and black stripes, so it can't be regarded as THAT lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 31 May, 2013 Share Posted 31 May, 2013 Hilarious to see someone actually suggesting that giving the fans the option to vote on the colour of the shorts means "their opinion is being considered". That is the worst combination of colours I've seen on a kit in years - Newcastle have the same template in different colours and it looks absolutely fine. But the two-tone red is just awful. The point is that their shirts should be blue anyway, 99% of Cardiff City fans would vote for that, and probably with pink and yellow spotted shorts if it meant they got the blue back - but because it doesn't suit their mentalist Chairman to wear blue, they don't get the option. If they cared what the fans wanted, they'd be wearing blue, never mind "here's a token vote because we've even managed to screw up WORSE the red kit you all hated anyway". The idiots responsible for their rebranding of course have now changed the colours they wear even since last season's red and black, to red and some different red and a bit of white. I mean, at least decide what you're rebranding to BEFORE you go ahead with it, and plan beyond just one season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 31 May, 2013 Share Posted 31 May, 2013 they'll obviously go for red as the others are all awful. I'm not so sure, the lighter red certainly goes well, but there are already two Prem sides wearing all red (there were last season anyway ). In addition, the white shorts actually go with the otherwise mismatched white trim on the rest of the kit. That can't be said of the black, though that was their colour scheme last season so there may be a few who think "sod it, we can't have blue, let's at least keep the combination from last season and stop them changing everything every year". So there are arguments for all apart from the ugly dark red that caused the vote in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all gone a bit quiet though so my assumption was that like the good little football fans we all are, they had given up and accepted it. Cardiff fans have put up with it as they recognised that, without investment, they more than likely would have tumbled into administration, they were absolutely f*cked financially. The new owner has taken on the debt and provided masses of investment into the club and the team. The colour of kit isn't the be all and end all; pretty much all football fans know that (so long as you don't employ your main rival's colours as your own, of course). They also know its really not that much of an important issue to escalate anywhere outside of their local area. But it is important enough to care about, and the Cardiff "protest" as such has been last season to predominantly buy the blue away shirt. having been to Cardiff a few times it was noticeable how many blue shorts there were compared to red. I'd be surprised if there's a blue option this year; and if the red "boycott" continues, that's when teh owner might sit up and take notice (though I very much doubt it).

They will all buy the blue away kit (assuming there is one), just like they did last season. None of them will buy a home shirt because they had the chance to decide the home shorts when they almost all hate the red shirts to begin with. That's what I'd do; continue to wear the traditional colours and boycott the new kit in colours that were alien to the club. Either their owner doesn't care whether they have poor merchandising sales, or he arrogantly thinks that he can completely disregard the opinions of the fans and ride roughshod over them, and they'll blindly buy whatever rubbish they are presented with. A stadium full of blue shirts and a shop full of unsold stock would quickly disabuse him of that opinion. The trouble is, there will always be a percentage of fans who will buy the new kit regardless, because they don't have the mental strength to make a stand on a matter of principle. Big clubs with loads of plastic fans can get away with that philosophy far more easily than the smaller lower profile clubs, although as their marketing initiatives produce millions of £s of revenue for them, they employ marketing experts who would throw their hands up in horror at such a crass policy. If it were to be applied to us, it would have even more significance, as a change of our colours the other way, would put us in the colours of our main rivals.
