Wear your Red shirts with pride tomorrow!!!

If someone is poor-ish and has only ever managed to afford the away red top from a few years ago (he got in the sale) but scimpt and saved to afford to go to the Huddersfield game. He puts his city top on (red) with a horrid badge (SAMs that's doesn't say Cardiff city ) and he leaves his house proud to support his team. Do you look at his with disrespect? You don't know a persons reasons, or a persons history.

I do not consider myself "poorish" but do, and will continue to, wear my RED shirt sam brought in, plus my Red comms direct shirt, and my New RED shirt of this season, ANYTIME I SO DESIRE, along with my many Blue shirts. And yes i am an adult, and can make my own mind up. READ MY SIG

no thanks ill wear blue,chant blue and sing blue all year.

Each to their own eh?

Supporting the club and team that's what it's all about.

Your a disgrace mate f**k off

Oh dear, here we have a prime example of someone who can't accept that the majority of fans want to support the owners, club and team. What a pathetic response. I will be there tomorrow and will wear my brand new Red home shirt with pride!

I cannot understand where the idea of the majority of fans support the owners, club and team come from. All fans do have one thing in common, i.e. we support the team. However not everyone supports the owners. Thousands and thousands are against throwing away our history, identity and tradition to try and sell a few more shirts. Some have done away with their season tickets, some walk up fans will not attend and some will be boycotting merchandise, food ,etc at the stadium. The majority do not support the changes. Many are reluctant reds but many oppose the change all together. It is the team that everyone will support. Many fans will be wearing blue with pride to the game.

Proud sellouts, there's nothing worse

NO PROUD TO be BAILED OUT!

In which case can we organise a collection for Broadlandsblue?

Hmmm no one wants red Well thats a myth at the very least. Wear your red shirt you will look very smart in it, Put it next to your Man Ure one

Seen that Wednesday in the club shop. A bloke with the latest ManU shirt on bought the red kit, saying "love this, the right colours now..."

Had to control myself...

This is what i don't get right, and I know it's not gonna be popular but here goes...

I can understand fans accepting the change to red because they think its for the good of the club.

I can understand fans wanting to go to the game and support the boys as usual.

But what i just can't understand is why so many of our fans have bought the red shirt, not just accepting the change but embracing it as if they would have preferred to be red and have our badge changed.

Surely, given the choice if investment wasnt an issue, we'd all prefer to be blue than red, right?

Like i say, i can understand people accepting it, but why oh why is everyone buying the shirts so proudly and not just begrudgingly getting on with it?

It just doesn't make sense to me! Anyone got any thoughts?

Well i can only speak for myself, but every season for many years i have bought our clubs shirts, be they red, blue, green etc........ so this season is no different to me, I still support Cardiff City football club

Majority are against RED but going along with it to support the team

Why would anyone wear it with pride?!

I can understand people who are not bothered because they support Cardiff City, not a blue shirt but those of you who are proud to wear the red shirt confuse me.

I am completely against the rebrand for the simple reason that I don't accept that changing the kit will suddently spark a revolution in Malaysia leading to them all becoming cardiff fans and want to buy our shirts. If the owners want to give us £100M, fine, but why bribe us with some bullshit about the £100M being offset by an increase in appeal in Asia? It's just complete tripe and that's why I am personally angry at the whole thing and not indifferent.

If it was for a good reason, I'd probably be indifferent, but it isn't for a good reason.

Blue, dont care for red. never wear a City top to a game. cant see anyone saying anything against a bunch of lads, unlike the storming of the kcb meeting where there were kids and women.

I know, it beggars belief. I can't understand it either. Okay, sure, accept the changes begrudgingly [like we all have to], but buying red merchandise?! By doing that, aren't you saying to the Malaysians, "I accept your changes without protest", "Yes, take the piss out of us".

I, perhaps naively, imagined a stadium full of blue shirts this season. A silent protest, by a united support, letting the Malaysians know that we will not accept their riding roughshod over our club, and we are not going to line their pockets, buying merchandise that is is about as far removed from our identity as they dare take it. The paying support is not that fickle.

Boy, was I wrong.

Totally agree.

Imagine the uproar if someone like Newcastle were forced to change from their black and white shirts, or Liverpool changing from red.

There would be countless protests and ok i accept that our fans want to get behind the team, but buying the red shirt and embracing it almost as if we we prefer it without even the slightest bit of fight from our fans is quite honestly embarrassing.

I've bought the shirt because i support the football club, no matter what colour they play in.
as VT said, we will always be the BLUEBIRDS

Buy the blue shirt then?

I suggest you change your signature. It gives the wrong impression.

Yes you were wrong, buying the shirt as far as I'm concerned is also about helping to keeping the club out of debt. It's about time people started to realise football is now a multi pound business. I will do my bit and continue to buy merchandise from the club and in that regards I will also buy the blue top when it comes out. Red top for home matches, blue for the away.

If anyone chants "red army" tonight, they're getting a slap.

So, if the club's meglomaniac is to believed, and the marketing in the far east works [lets entertain the notion that people in the far east will buy official merchandise*, instead of the cheaper fake gear they are famous for out there], why not have the millions of Chinese/Malays buy the red kit, and you buy the blue kit, thus ensuring the club still gets your money, and you can keep your conscience clear by sticking to your principles.

You have principles, right?

*Let's also entertain the notion that we can compete with the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal & Liverpool, who already play in red, and have large percentages of the Asian market, and convert fans of those clubs, to be fans of ours.

I think we'll be back in blue in less than 5 years.

please dont use vistaprint. worst service and products in my experience. search on google, youll find heaps of people who arnt happy with them too.

Why would you not wear the home shirt with pride?? Its our clubs home shirt. The home shirt to which we have an unbeaten league team in.

It has a cardiff city on it.

We are cardiff FANS!! So how can fans not want to wear our clubs colours. And red is the club colours now!!

If you want us to play in blue buy the club. You don't tell your bank how to sort out mortgages or loans. You don't tell your mates what colour to paint there house, so why are you telling tan what colour he should let us play in! You're just a fan, and a fan has no finiacial say whatsoever in anything to do with the clubs at this level.

As Mr Chuckle woud say.....Spot On

O.P you poor penniless pauper (not my words) life on the breadline eh . Poor Sod

Not sure whats worse the colour and badge rebrand or the fans rebrand where after years of rivalry and bad history its now ok to have a jolly time in a city pub with a swansea jack

I can fully understand fans who have reluctantly gone along with the rebrand but I will never ever get my head around people buying the red merchandise. Sure,Cardiff have played in lots of different colours away from home over the years but only one at home for the past 104 years.

Buying the red merchandise is basically saying to Mr Tan that he can do whatever the hell he pleases with our football club and believe me he will...

Even if a stadium full of blue shirts was the sum of the protest that we could muster it would still have sent a strong message to Tan that blue was important to us.

As it is a large number of our fans did the very opposite. You couldn't make it up.
