Are you a c**t or do you just pose as one ?

It was the club who took the decision to rebrand and stop stock blue memorabilia so good on people if you see an opportunity to make out of it. Because of the clubs stance I would prefer to call it that of the clubs refusal to cash in rather than criticise any individual.

Regarding the campaign to get these sold then Annis owns the website so he can advertise as much as he wants in my book and if you don't like it then you know where the log out button is.

If you want anyone to blame for individuals taking financial risks like this then blame the club

At £25 a pop they are extremely reasonable. Fans moan they want a blue top and then when they get one they complain because the person who has gone out of his way to do it may make some money which almost certainly wouldn't even cover his time and effort for it.

Ridiculous.

Taken from the Cambridge Online dictionary:
Cash in on sth (phrasal verb): to get money or another advantage from an event or situation, often in an unfair way: e.g. Her family have been accused of cashing in on her death.

Now, seeing as Cardiff City football Club created the "situation" by rebranding to red shirts they can hardly sell a counter-blue shirt, can they and no one can ever accuse them of making money from the situation they have created. If they hadn't rebranded the situation would not have been created and no one could take the opportunity to cash in.
However, they did rebrand, they did create a "situation" and indeed the designer of the new shirt is looking to cash in on the "situation.
So, the situation they have created is being cashed in on by the designer of this blue shirt version.

Why anyone would complain or moan about having a Fan designed blue shirt being made is
f*cking unbelievable what knobheads
you have your choice
The club RED shite with a DRAGON badge the design was f*cking crap from the start (30 teams all the same just different club badges)

or a Blue Fans alternative :bluescarf:
as for making money FFS KIT DESIGNERS AND THE CLUBS ALWAYS RIPPING OFF THE FANS 400% mark up on price.

More Blue kits the better as long as they look great and are quality :thumbright:
something to wear on holiday with Pride
