Cardiff could undergo a 'rebranding'

Why not red and blue stripes....?
Because there's already one team in the championship that wear those colours and have lost all their tradition..............................0 -
Sky reporting that it is a done deal0
-
Pictures up on BBC site. New badge and shirt. Away shirt to be blue...0
-
If it is a done deal, what happens to their nick name; do they remain The Bluebirds, or do they become The Redwings or some such?0
-
That dragon looks like they've nicked it from Leyton Orient. There's already too many clubs with dragons on their badge without anymore and that poor little bird looks totally lost.

"Fire & Passion" - What's the bets they'll be running out to Prodigy then?0
-
The Dragons I'm guessing, but the new badge has a tiny bluebird on it still. Most fans will just buy the away kit instead of the home. 0

So it'll be reds v blacks when we play down there. Rather than blues v reds. When are fixtures out?0

I wonder if that means they will change all the seats in their stadium from blue to red. Sounds costly, but would be strange to have a team in red and black playing in a blue and white stadium0

Not to mention that Cardiff Blues who play there won't be too happy about that.0 -
The thing that worries me is that the owners think changing the colours and nickname will help transform a middling team into some sort of international giant. Plenty of teams have come a cropper after being mismanaged by ambitious foreign owners, who don't know British football as well as they think. Portsmouth, Birmingham, Blackburn etc
As for blue, those well known losers in 2011/12 Man City and Chelsea play in blue also...0 -
The Blues are moving back to their old Arms Park ground for next season and beyond, they've mutually ended the lease with Cardiff City - which I guess has cleared the way for all this.0

All seems too bizarre to take seriously.
Swansea fans must be having a field day while Cardiff fans must be torn between tradition and the lure of the promised £100m.
Prague Addick can explain this better than I but why tamper with such a strong brand.0 -
Judging by some Cardiff fans views on this, there may well be plenty of empty seats there next season.
We've changed our badge a few times, but always had a lion. To all of a sudden stick a dragon on there, change it to red & put a bluebird at the bottom is quite a change & kick in the teeth.
They'll be gone in a year or 5, the fans are what makes a club.0 -
im fuming about this. Should always be blue and bluebirds should always be there name.0

Not the ones I know who recognise that the money will keep the club going. Not much point having a blue kit and no team to wear it.

I would prefer city to play in blue and be in league 2. If someone said to us we would change to blue to get a 100mill cash injection i wouldnt be up for it. Red is our colour and it should never change.0

Ten years time if they're up the top of the Premiership it'll all be forgotten about. Similarly if they were back in blue but at the bottom of League One most of the ultras moaning about it wouldn't be going. It's only a colour.0

Orient don't have a dragon but a wyvern (dragon & serpent) on their shirt

What a disgrace. It looks like the national team's old badge. Sadly this looks like the direction the game is taking.0

If they are in the prem most of their current fan base won't be there anyway...the move to new ground has killed off a lot of the Ninian support. Just another nail in the coffin of a club that once had character.
When MK Dons moved there was a stink and still many fans dislike them...yet Cardiff can change their badge & kit colour and nobody seems to care because it will help them survive...which was a similar argument for MK Dons.

Not sure you can compare moving from Wimbledon - Croydon to MK with moving part of the way across a small city, and happened some time ago. Cardiff's crowds have generally gone up year on year before and since the move. I admit that it's a bit daft of the owners to want to change the badge and shirt, but equally it's daft to get worked up about it.0

It's the fabric of the club though isn't it, effectively selling the soul of Cardiff and what we've all known Cardiff to be in our lifetimes.
Imagine if at the time your owners came in & thought that you needed a colour change & changed the badge? Would you just rollover & say ok?
What happens when the owners leave? Hardly likely to be around for long.

I don't see why anyone in Asia would support Cardiff anyway, and even if they would, surely it is more important to keep fans in Cardiff than to gain them in Asia, which I can't see them doing anyway?0

For a wedge a cash, I'll take a change of colour. You can always change it back.
I wouldn't want a change of ground though, tried that already.

Fair dos. Too many mythical creatures then; mythical dragons, mythical wyverns, mythical Eagles in South London.That dragon looks like they've nicked it from Leyton Orient. There's already too many clubs with dragons on their badge without anymore and that poor little bird looks totally lost.

Killed the tradition! Changed colors and mascot. Why nome change the name? If I were a Cardiff supporter I would not stick with it. For me Cardiff died and re-born as a Dragon!0
