Just because you have been supporting longer does not mean you are more of a fan. The sooner you "older generation" realise that the better.
least the older generation understand traditions & history of a football club

Traditions and history don't get you anywhere apart from sentiment and stories. times change and things move on. We are either happy being a sleeping giant as everyone likes to say, or we want to actually have a crack at becoming a decent team and getting into the top division.

Having grown up watch City slide from Old Div 2 to Div 4 and then spend 18 years in the lower divisions watching some of the worst teams in the history of the club playing out in front of 2000+ at Ninian Park - I am quite happy where we are today a good championship side - anyone who watched the club then would have been grateful for the return to where we are now - I a
You are right times change & things move on of course, I am sentimental about the past because I was there & of course I would love to see us in the top division - I've waited since 1977 for this and our time will come - I'd love us to be in blue & with a bluebird as the crest when we do it
The best thing about the picture is that they have used the old letters from Ninian Park even though they have sprayed them another colour

Yes, and nobody appreciates where we have come from more than me.
But as a fan, you have to have ambitions for your team. I want our team to succeed. If that means we play in red, then so be it!

But trophies and folklaw doesn't occur with complacence, it takes overhauls and chances, pushing the boundaries etc.
So does anyone think the new badge, new colours, might also be there to dispell the past bad rep our club has had? Just asking a question and stirring it...

Millwall played in white in 1999-2000 did not dispell their rep!! - I'd be quite happy to be like West Brom go up & down and then consolidate our position in the Premiership because the club would be on a decent financial footing by doing so will become financially stable.

I'd ALSO rather see a fucked up Cardiff City badge than an egg-chasers one.
Mason and Gunnarrson are obviously not going anywhere any time soon![]()
Serious point though...
There's a big old Bluebird on one facade too.
It would not take a lot for Tan to swop sizes on the new badge for next season
so the Bluebird takes precedence above the Dragon. It would then look better
than the hideous bluebird over a black and yellow background did. Tattooists
nightmare!!!
There's also nothing to stop him incorporating some of the better designs for
new kits we saw over the summer on FB etc and on here.
I'm not saying it will happen. But I dont think the red kits will move very well
so it may end up being a purely business decision.
Those Blue shirts with red blending in from the bottom looked pretty goodWho knows.

But we can't be west brom without VT as we would be bust. You can't even get to the championship these days to compete with the finance problems since the end of the sam days.
Millwall haven't done a tap in the leagues for years though have they, I meant change the badge, colours etc so when we do get to the top div and get more exposure, the bad times are history, the focus is on the history of the club since the chang e of colours etc, selling it better t families. I know we have been family club of the year, but the tarnished history still stuck. Far from saying its right, just a thought that's probably very much completely wrong

That's not the question he asked mate. He asked what's city got to do with red.
Cardiff City are Welsh, the Welsh national colours are Red (as explained in VT's initial statement).
