It was an amateur team with no stadium, which also had less than 20 years history.
Hardly comparable to Cardiff Bluebirds in 2012 were they?
It's a fact which you find so inconvenient you resort to name calling. Desperate stuff.

Our rightful colours I said, not our original colours. Learn to read.![]()
Our rightful colours, the one we are known for wearing, the one our nickname originates from... BLUE.
Missed your post earlier Barry I Can't Chuckle, cos you're the only one who can read on here!![]()
Tell me who elected you to decide which colour is our rightful colour?![]()
If there were people around from the 1908 era, they could argue that we should play in brown & yellow and be called Riverside FC!
Those of our newer fans who may have only seen us play in red at home, may feel that as we've entered a new era under a man who although has divided opinion, has certainly saved the club from obscurity and may prefer to claim the red as our rightful colour!

What you have is not a belief, it is a preference. Learn the difference.
Question: If I told you that Bertrand Russell's teapot was blue would you be more inclined to worship it?

No, because I don't link myself to a colour. My belief is that club shouldn't change their colours & rebrand. Be that red, blue, yellow or gold.

It is not there to provide an identity to those without one. As you clearly have a self-esteem issues, you should forget City and go see a psychiatrist and/or visit a fashion boutique instead, so that you feel more comfortable with yourself.
Associating yourself with a competitive sports club isn't helping you to overcome whatever problems you are suffering.

If you are only interested in winning matches, go and support Man Utd... Bonus, they're in red for you too.![]()

I hate the rebrand, but the worst bit of it is not the shirt colour or the badge..
It's this type of fan that seems to have a problem with some of us wanting to see our club play in our rightful colours.
I know all you care about right now is PL football, but sorry to say, there are some who value our true identity over a season in the top flight.
Get used to it, this split amongst the fans won't be going away any time soon
We play in red, get used to it. We won't be playing in blue any time soon.

No he couldn't. I support Cardiff because they are my home town team & I have supported them since I was a kid. They represent my "home" & am immensely proud of that.
What I don't like, is this team slowly being stripped of its identity & therefore seeming a shadow of the team I grew up supporting.
It's clear Tan wanted rid of the bluebird & accepted defeat at the recent supporters trust meeting. Would you accept the loss of the bluebird? Seeing as "it's only an emblem" ?
It's not a love for a specific colour, it's a request that club owners respect the identity & traditions of a football club. You may disagree, as is your right, but there are many that feel the same, whether you like it or not.

Firstly, being originally a Rhondda boy, Cardiff is my home town team as well, but I don't believe that the club has been stripped of it's identity, as we still play at Cardiff (Unlike where Sam wanted us to play), we are still called Cardiff City and are still called the Bluebirds, which is still represented on our shirts!
thats fine, I do feel that though. The bluebird has also been relegated to an after thought. Be interested to see what you would think if that disappeared?
My position on the colour change is that if it were put to a vote, I'd vote for blue, but am I losing any sleep over the change to red, no!
thats fine & I respect that, but many DO care.
With regard to the change of badge, well we've had many different badges over the years and whilst the new one is far from my favourite, it still says Cardiff City and again I won't lose any sleep over it!
im not that bothered about a badge, but I'd like to see the bluebird represented properly, rather than clearly being an afterthought.
We'll have to see whether things would change if the name Cardiff City or the Bluebird disappeared, but I can't see the point in scaremongering, as it doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon!
I fully respect fans who can't come to terms with the change from blue to red or the new badge, but they should also respect the opinions of fans who are comfortable with the change(s), or those who basically couldn't give a shit!
i do respect it & don't condone any abuse/insults for thinking that. I've been warned and abused for having my opinions & it's not on.
This thread was clearly written as a thread to mock those who feel the blue is important, therefore not respecting other people's views. If you can't respect views, don't expect respect back.
