However, on more than one post and on CCMB, I am seeing badge designs with a Malaysian flag on it! That represents everything I hate about what money has done to the game I have worshipped all my life, its a sport not a business, try telling the guys in our academy trying to get a full time contract, that its a business. Ridiculous IMO. I suspect old Fred Keenor is turning in his grave at the thought. Its the ultimate sell out, I mean its our badge, our coat of arms, our emblem. I am embarrassed to see a Cardiff badge, capital city of Wales, a mystical, historic landscape of scenery, industry and proud patriotic good people, with the national flag of a country from another continent!!!!
I am dead against the rebrand, but want the club to stop losing all this cash every month (assuming thats the case) so would welcome compromise to take my club forward. Cant take the possibility of losing the famous blue that is in my blood, just because of another countries lucky colour, thats bad enough, but, seeing that flag on my badge? NO!!!!!! Only if the alternative was liquidation would I accept that, football clubs can recover from administration you know.
If we had English owners saving us from impending doom, and they wanted an English flag on our badge, would you accept that?? I suspect not.
If I find the time, I will have a go in the next day or two, to open up Photoshop, and do a google search for the following -
A celtic shield
Flag of St David
The Bluebird (swallow) logo
A red dragon (my compromise)
The goat and seahorse from the 1927 coat of arms.
And a motto in Welsh, like the one on the above badge or even "I'll Be There"
That will be a fiery, passionate, proud looking badge. So somebody go beat me to it.

Lets see what happens over next 7 days, hope its quick whatever happens, as Malky could start missing out on some transfer targets.
As for 'killing our club', to me losing your club colours, nickname and badge that you have grown up with, is exactly that. Not everyone is in agreement, I expect, accept and respect that, so should some others.
