Cardiff City Fans – YOU have hours to vote for your favourite alternative shirt

With fewer than 150 votes separating the two favourites, NOW is the time for action if you want your favourite shirt to go on sale.

Richard Davies said: "I grew up watching Cardiff City playing in blue.

"We were a poor old Division Two side and it was never about top flight football, it was about watching my side with my dad playing in blue with a bluebird on its crest.

Football is about tradition and identity not the Premier League and after two years of playing in a colour completely alien to Cardiff City, I think red is an insult to it's supporters."

Jacob Fretwell added: "Great idea with the new shirt designs! Hopefully Tan will feel a slight dent in his deep pockets and will end this red nonsense."

Where do the profits from these shirt sales go?

What a depressing era we are in. I suspect the winning shirt will sell very well, yet none of the proceeds will go back into the club. But some people are going to benefit from the clubs dis-harmony.

CCST will not make a penny from the venture, £5 from the sale of every shirt will go to Ty Hafan and the kit supplier is principally involved in the project, not for profit but because their owner, a City fan, backs the pro blue cause and the charity angle.

As for none of the proceeds going back to the club, yes, I agree, they won't go into the club but that is entirely the fault of the those running the club for failing to capitalise on the huge marketing benefits and merchandise sales that a return to blue would bring.

I think it works on so many levels - a good quality, affordable blue shirt with a predominant bluebird badge, with the money going to a great cause and demonstrating to the club the big demand for blue official merchandise.

I'm eating humble pie. I'm very glad to be in the wrong on this. I agree with all the responses made here. Hope they sell well.

I re-read my post and don't understand how you got sarcasm from it. I shouldn't have jumped to cynical conclusions though, you are correct on this.

Why buy a shirt where no proceeds go to club ? Or in this case a protest shirt all profit should go up charity ? Not just a small amount. Some people making money out of us as supporters ... Yet criticise Tan ? Hmmmm

Phil why don't you put a pound on each shirt and give each person an optional one year membership of the trust. It would hopefully drive your membership numbers up and you would have a whole twelve months to convince people of the trusts capabilities to convince tan to return to blue and to renew their memberships

Hi Steve,

I would have loved to have seen that happen and hopefully CCST will contact those that purchase shirts and boost membership that way. Unfortunately, the margins are very tight on the shirts and my main priority on this occasion was gaining the maximum contribution for Ty Hafan, as well as keeping the shirts reasonably priced.

I agree, the CCST board (of which I'm not a part) will be missing a trick if they don't utilise this project to boost membership though.

You should stand for the board Phil. I would then join and vote for you.

Thanks mate. I did stand as a single issue pro blue candidate about a year and a half ago and unsurprisingly - anti rebrand sentiments weren't particularly strong at the time - I failed to get elected.

In all honesty, I don't think I'm particularly well suited to committees. I tend to want action on things and quickly. That's just the way I'm built. To be fair to the trust they were right up for this idea and as I'm from a marketing/media background they were happy enough for me to crack on and project manage it.

I'll be glad when it's all done and dusted though. I never knew there was so much involved in getting a bloody shirt on the market! :lol:
