Tan imposes another club colour change

Malay fans see red as Tan imposes another club colour change.

Malaysian second tier club Kedah have denied that they have been forced to change their colours from green and yellow to red as a result of fresh investment by controversial Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan.

Tan caused uproar among fans of the English Premier League side, which is nicknamed The Bluebirds, when he switched the team's shirts from blue to red strip following his takeover.

Reports from Malaysia say a similar situation had angered fans of Kedah, three-time Malaysian champions. But the club's honorary secretary Aminuddin Omar rejected the suggestion they had their hand forced.

"We did not change the logo or colour according to our own taste or fancy but it was part of a transformation ... for the development of football in the state," Aminuddin was quoted as saying.

Last month, Tan added to his football portfolio by agreeing a deal to take over the control and management of Bosnian club Sarajevo (they already play in maroon-red strip).

So he never imposed a colour change then?

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 6 (Reuters) — Malaysian second tier club Kedah have denied that their controversial logo change from green and yellow to red came as a caveat to a two million ringgit investment by Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan (pic).
The logo switch is similar to what Malaysian businessman Tan employed at English Premier League Cardiff, who now play in red despite protests by supporters of the Welsh side who are known as the Bluebirds.

The Bernama news agency said on Sunday the logo change had angered fans of the three-times Malaysian champions, but the club’s honorary secretary Aminuddin Omar rejected the suggestion they had their hand forced.
“We did not change the logo or colour according to our own taste or fancy but it was part of a transformation that KFA will be undergoing for the development of football in the state,” Aminuddin was quoted as saying by Bernama.
The old logo was the brainchild of former manager Ahmad Basri Mohd Akil, who led the club to a number of honours.

Tan had not interfered in the running of the team since his investment on August 15, the report quoted Aminuddin as saying, adding that the change of logo had been approved by the Sultan of Kedah.

So he never imposed a colour change then?

No, just a massive co-incidence.
