Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust make appeal after board member Keith Morgan contacted Premier League to clarify rules on kits




Cardiff City have been urged to wear their traditional blue at all away games - barring a colour clash - by an official supporters group.

The Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust made the appeal after its board member Keith Morgan contacted the Premier League to clarify the rules on kits.

Mr Morgan was told that while clubs must wear their home strip when playing at home, they could wear any of their approved strips at away matches.

Accountant Mr Morgan said: “I contacted the Premier League to clarify Rule M13 and M22 concerning registered match-day kits to find out whether a club can wear any of its three registered kits.

“They have come back with a response which makes it perfectly clear there is nothing to stop that happening.”

Blue alternative kits went on sale for the first time last Saturday and the Supporters Trust says the club wearing blue would be a good way of building bridges with fans after recent upheaval and off-field controversy.

“The Trust board believes strongly that the club should wear blue shirts at all away matches in the Premier League, except if there is a clash such as games against Everton, Chelsea and West Bromwich Albion,” Mr Morgan said.

“And, of course, the majority of fans who travel away wear blue.

“Given the unnecessary off-field issues of the last couple of weeks, we hope the club management, including Vincent Tan, will look to build bridges with fans and ensure our traditional blue colour shirts are worn by the Bluebirds at the vast majority of away matches.

“The Trust, like the majority of fans, also in the future wants a return to blue at home games.”

To avoid John Motson doing a colemanball by saying its strange seeing Cardiff not in blue after the controversial colour change to red, but they wouldn't have been in blue anyway today as Chelsea play in blue.

I will whatever colour I like thanks

No you won't, you will wear blue

No you won't, you will wear blue

No we will wear what ever colour we like thanks. Half the away games the other team wear blue anyway so we would still have to wear red!

I understand that they are also allowed to wear a change of shirt in one home match a season as long as the visiting team is advised of the change.

If this is correct then it would be a good idea to inform swansea that we will be playing in Blue at home against them, come on Mr Tan do a very good PR job for once.

“Given the unnecessary off-field issues of the last couple of weeks, we hope the club management, including Vincent Tan, will look to build bridges with fans and ensure our traditional blue colour shirts are worn by the Bluebirds at the vast majority of away matches.

“The Trust, like the majority of fans, also in the future wants a return to blue at home games.”

Fair play, this is what we want to hear from them. Well done to The Supporters Trust.

Would be a step in the right direction!

I will whatever colour I like thanks

So you wore red before the rebrand ? No of course not, you wear whatever tan wants you to wear

Is there any reason why Marshall can't wear blue at home?

Yes. He's called Vincent Tan.
