maybe this is the reason why

t's been a bad week for the colour blue. Cardiff City’s new Malaysian owner Vincent Tan tried to change the club’s kit from blue to red, remove the Bluebird from the badge, replace it with a dragon, and generally start again after 103 years of tradition.

The claim was that he views blue as unlucky.

There is another theory. Tan has a Malay-Chinese background and in his native Hokkien dialect ‘bluebird’ translates as a slang term for the male reproductive organ.

Nissan encountered a similar problem when they launched a car called the Nissan Bluebird and discovered not many customers in South-East Asia were keen to drive around in a vehicle essentially called the Nissan Penis.

Due to Welsh protests, Tan has now called off his plans, putting the South-East Asian markets out of his reach — until he gets Cardiff’s shirts sponsored by Viagra.

Meanwhile, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic threatened to snub next year’s Madrid Open because they are moaning they prefer red clay to blue. As they say in parts of Asia, they sound like Bluebirds, the pair of them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure we played in Chocolate and Orange as Riverside AFC, but as soon as we turned professional with the name Cardiff City we played in blue?

It's easy to understand why the Malaysians want to get rid of our bluebird now, but it makes me wonder if they wanted a team in red, why did they choose us instead of for example, Nottingham Forest? I know we were good to TG's son and this initially got TG interested in us, but it still makes me wonder why when the Malaysians thought of getting involved in a football club, they chose us, as our colour and nickname is the exact opposite to what the Malaysians are looking for marketing wise?

It seems we have the much maligned Peter Ridsdale to thank for bringing in TG and in turnTV. We also have Ridsdale to thank for the fact that it's still possible to watch City play Championship football for £320 a season.

I must agree that Ridsdale must have sold our club very well to get the Malaysians wanting to buy into us.
