It's how many people (mostly the kids & red lovers) the majority and groups like Bluebirds Unite can convince to stop supporting the rebrand now.
The best way to do this is to continue wearing your blue, and singing our traditional songs in an act to overpower the red in the stadium, eventually the bandwagon will fill up!

Correct Craig, Wear your Blue with pride in the stadium next season, I would love to see thousands in Blue and I have a feeling it will happen.

You are probably right but that's missing the point.
Tan is an expert on the Asian market and that's what he is targeting.

The Malaysian market don't even know who Cardiff City are until this season begins! And saying that, they wear more replica and cheaply designed copies than the rest of the world! They can probably pick up a football top for any of the top 5 premiership teams for about a fiver!

So what do you actually believe in?
I believe in a blue kit and I want to see it returned but I also believe in honouring agreements. A deal was struck last summer to rebrand the home kit in exchange for £100m investment.
So do you believe that we should dishonour that agreement even though VT has already invested the best part of £40m and is on the verge of settling the long overdue Langston debt, expanding the stadium, providing a £25m transfer pot and building a training ground?
See to me breaking a deal in such a selfish way is far more disgusting than anything the rebrand has done to us. Deals depend on good faith and I for one am not going to break a deal after only one year.
Much better to lobby for compromise which one day might involve a return to blue after VT has proved his point.
Personally I couldn't give a flying fig if this kit is sold in it's thousands in the Far East, providing we have a decent blue away kit.

I think you may be wrong, I don't think you will see that. We've not had chance to see the kit in detail yet, but anyway I think loss will still wear last year's red as well as this year's.

Carl, totall Bollocks if they were listening to our fans they would return to BLUE end off.
THIS
For clarity, I am not saying myself 'the club is listening to the fans'.
This is the line I expect the club to come out with when changes to the kit are announced.

100% correct Annis, as if they give a f**k what we feel. They have seen the kit and realised how hideous it looks.

Tan doesn't listen thats the whole issue here . He has no idea about the beautiful game , no idea about Cardiff City, no idea about Wales . Take a look at the guys dress sense ! Did we really expect a head-turning kit to make our rivals green with envy ? Before I'm hit with the lack of respect for Tan comment again - what respect has he shown for football , for Cardiff City , for Wales ! Sponsorship deals are more and more geared at overseas companies , the inside of the CCS sports twice as many
Malaysian flags as it does the Welsh Dragon ! His whole outlook is Malaysian-based and Cardiff , Wales is no more than a pawn in his little soiree ! High time those who have had enough of this megalomaniac tyrant and his pro-Malaysian anti-Welsh outlook stood up to be counted !Time for PRIDE , Time for PASSION , time for HEART , time for CARDIFF CITY , time for TAN OUT !

Ifs & buts mmmmmm ! I am no party to the rebrand save as a fan of the Bluebirds & find it a little rich you mentioning my thereby dishonouring that ' agreement ! ' Tan doesn't seem like the sort of person to look at compromise , particularly when so few oppose him ! What do I want ?! I too want City back in blue with the Bluebird restored to it's significance on the club badge ! I'd also like to see the inside of the CCS looking like it's the home ground of the club representing the capital city of Wales , not some satellite of Kuala Lumpur , festooned with the names of Asian brands & where the Malaysian flag outnumbers the Welsh Dragon 2:1 !!
I'd also like Tan to know there are some fans who are not happy , not happy at all , with his heavy handed rebrand , lack of meaningful dialogue, scant respect for Wales , Cardiff City or it's fans .
If you see that as dishonour , thats your call , for me the dishonour comes from the chairman . He is interested in one thing only , gaining further wealth through Cardiff City ! Again , you go with that ! For me there'll come a day when dear Vincent is no longer a part of Cardiff City FC . For me that day cannot come quickly enough - and on that day I , amongst others will be able to look back with a clear conscience ! TAN OUT - the sooner the barking better !
