Surly a newly promoted club should have ...

Sold 1,000,s of replica tops for its first year in the PL ? havent seen 1,000,s around Cardiff or South Wales, we now seem to be selling less replica shirts that we use to do in the lower leagues ? its a very strange way to market the brand of Cardiff City, may be when the new Blue tops are released from storage by the club we will see a massive upsurge ? Or may be all the red tops are flooding Asia and selling in their 1.000,s and we havent got many here to sell

So far its about 400-450 new Red tops sold, I honestly believe if we had been BLUE, Sold out and there would be a waiting list by now.

Playing devils advocate but last season we sold more red shirts than we had ever sold blue shirts. So why would we sell load of red shirts last season and now in the Premier League not?

I think other things also come into play such as lack of signings to date and the economic climate.

I imagine if we sign a big name player many more shirts will get sold.

That is shocking

If it was given for free then everyone would be wearing it (scarf night)

A lot won't buy the blue because of the badge or Malaysia. Old school retro tops probably selling well though!!

It fucks me off when I see people walking around Cardiff with Liverpool tops on and this don't help!!

Suppose the money is in the tv now

Im getting the yellow one to be neutral. It seems only the blues and reds want to beat each other up.

I haven't bought a top from last season and I wont be buying one this season which is a shame because I should be spending all my hard earned money on city merchandise like I used too but wont while that shocking badge is still on their and the blue is returned as our home kit.

Since scarf night I have attended every game wearing my blue city tops and will continue to do so this coming season as my stand against the rebrand.

and I believe scarf night and some of the "we'll always be blue" chants at the end of last season has made people stand together more IMO that's why we haven't sold as many shirts as we should have.

If it was blue I'd have had one with Prem badges by now. And I know many others would too

We will deffo sell more blue shirts now we are in the Premier League

Lets cut the bullshit here Cardiff City have never been a fan base with a large number of replica shirt wearers rebrand or otherwise.

You could sell 20,000 blue shirts at £50 a pop and thats only £1 million. Take away costs.etc be lucky to make £200k profit on them.

In the grand scheme of things thats small potatoes and not even worth a debate.

For the record I wouldnt buy neither, red or blue, with that piece of shit badge on it, but then again I havent bought a replica shirt since 1993.

I'd love to have bought a home shirt with the PL badges (as a momento, not to wear), but there's no chance I'll be buying anything again this season.

Over the last few seasons though (09/10, 10/11, 11/12) you would see a lot of people wearing City shirts. A lot more than when I first started going. You were lucky to see a City shirt then and that was only 7 years ago! Cant see many being sold this year though

Not many of our fans are interested in them to be honest. They're far more interested in casual clobber and so on.

We'd have probably sold a couple hundred more if the kit was blue but in the grand scheme of things its only the kids that are really interested and they dont seem to be minding the red.

Lack of signings at the current time, people struggling for money, etc. there are loads of reasons.

As Polo said, merchandise sales are small fry for a club like us.

400-450 thats shocking fair play, not taking the p*ss, but whats the point of the rebrand if you only sell that many tops and you are now in the PL, because we all know making money in the far east is a load of crap, compare that to Swansea who sold over 6000 in less than a day two years ago when they first went on sale after our promotion, also bought a away top on saturday 45 mins queue and probably thousands sold already.

Please tell me you weren't born in 1985 because if you are, for someone in their late 20's, you are beyond stupid.

I concur Owain, it would of looked great in a frame!

6000 x £50 = £300,000. 10 weeks wages for Michu. In the grand scheme of things - NOT A BIG f*cking DEAL!!!!

No need to be surly

I disagree

Chris, I rarely disagree with you on things except when its to do with Dave Jones
We have changed as a fan base.
When Fowler was here we sold well over 25,000 BLUE shirts, then the next Wembley season over 30,000 BLUE shirts,The first season of the Malaysians 20,000 BLUE shirts approx, then last season RED 15,000 rem they had a FREE open day with thousands sold then(and are fan base bigger than ever), 5,000 BLUE(But refused to order more).

This season, just began 450 so far RED, wont put BLUE ON SALE YET.

Since 1972 I have bought a BLUE SHIRT EVERY SEASON, Last year first time I have never bought one. I usually buy 5 for my family now I buy none.

I wont buy one till our badge and colour are restored

Two reasons come to mind:-

1) The bad publicity of the initial kit reveal
2) The fact the other kits haven't been revealed

1) may have put people off the new red shirt, it looks fabulous in person so expect many to be sold once it has been seen in action.

2) people might be waiting to see what they all look like before committing to buying one of them!

Are those figures actually right? The clu. Have come out on a number of occasions and said the sales of the red shirt were higher than any blue shirt in previous seasons.

Sold 1,000,s of replica tops for its first year in the PL ? havent seen 1,000,s around Cardiff or South Wales, we now seem to be selling less replica shirts that we use to do in the lower leagues - storage companies near me? its a very strange way to market the brand of Cardiff City, may be when the new Blue tops are released from storage by the club we will see a massive upsurge ?
