Nicknames are unofficial and lots of clubs actually have more than one like Swansea - Swans & Jacks, Sunderland - The Lads & Black Cats, Leicester City - The Filberts, The Fosse & The Foxes, Leeds Utd - The Peacocks, United, Whites & Mighty Whites, West Ham Utd, The Hammers & The Irons, Sheffield Wedsnesday - The Wednesday, The Owls & The Blades, Bristol City , The Robins, The ciderheads & The Ziderheads, Everton - The School Of Science, The Toffees & The Blue Noses, Newport County, The iornsiders & The exiles, Wrexham - The Robins, The Reds & The dragons
The list could go on and on try asking Stanqpr how many different nicknames QPR have all of which goes to show clubs have many nicknames and some are not always obvious or well known but they are still nicknames.
Much is made of the Bluebirds but how many remember when Cardiff was more commonly known as "The City".
Adam still waiting for a link to a direct quote from VT that he is "Against Everything Blue". Glad I didn't hold my breath on that one.![]()

Please note that I start by stating 'If' VT is against everything blue. Like you I'm still un-convinced that is the case until I see an 'official' quote from him. However 'If' he is against it then surely Bluebirds would be under the carpet soon or not..?

So we are dealing with the hypothetical which is fair enough because we both know VT has never said he is against Blue, but of course accepting that means your thread is pretty much pointless. That would make the prefix "If" meaningless and perhaps a better prefix would be "Why" would he be "Against Everything Blue" but maybe that would be off message.
The Bluebird nickname will remain because it's what so many Cardiff fans have identified the club with over the years and VT knows this. There is no stroke of a pen or wave of a wand that can change so my answer is yes the Bluebird nickname will remain.

That won't be far from the truth.
You are smashed day in day out on here, an object of ridicule...
Yet every day your back.
Laughed at and mocked is better than being ignored.

Is there any possibility any time soon that you migh start a positive thread about
The club you profess to love?
