I have owned some terrible looking kits in the past both home and away but have bought them knowing it's my team and when on holidays or away somewhere have worn it with pride even the cheapy itchy one with havelet leasing on. The fact it's the least selling premiere kit is great news all round.

I don't know the figures but there may well have been more sold last year than the championship season but still woeful sales for our first season in the premiership. Some people might have had the the first red kit but have been swayed and not purchased last seasons. People have changed their mind on the rebrand and this might have been reflected in the sales.

Let's hope it gathers pace and the tide turns blue, all I want is a blue home strip and the rightful city badge, not too much to ask is it ; )

I thought last season's kit was actually a very nice looking kit, but the fact that it was red made it horrific because that's not how a Cardiff City home kit should look.

Can't agree with the nice kit bit, from where I'm sitting it was a dire piece of shite. Agree that home kit should be blue, but what gets me is supporters who want kit blue but aren't bothered by badge, I don't mind a badge change but there was no effort put in it looks thrown together. Why can't club build bridges with fans and look for input on new club crest and return to blue and incorporate a dragon in club crest with red as away kit, now that's a compromise surely.

I would say it was the sacking of Malky, that's when it kicked off last season.

That's just your opinion. I'm sure if it was blue/yellow/white you wouldn't be complaining!
I'm one of those people, I don't like the badge but I can put up with it. Badges change at all clubs from time to time, club colours however should never change.
