couldnt play in blue yesturday

Bluebirds say they played in white because club believed blue could be 'a clash' with home team's black

RED, WHITE AND BLUE:
It was a thrilling match at Dean Court with eight goals and lots of incidents. But plenty of Bluebirds fans left the stadium talking about their team’s kit - white with a splash of red - instead of focusing solely on performance.

The decision on kit followed FA guidelines, according to Cardiff City. Bournemouth play in black and red - and the FA rule that black is the predominant colour.

Cardiff officials believed that could lead to a potential clash with the blue... and they obviously couldn't wear red.

White is Cardiff’s third choice kit - it was yellow last season, white in this campaign - and that can’t be changed.

So white it had to be, according to Cardiff, but that certainly seemed like a slap in the face to many fans who made the trip.

Around 1,000 of them travelled to the south coast to cheer their team on and they were baffled by why their side had not run out in blue, as others have done this season at Dean Court.

The chance seemed to be there, but Cardiff say they were wary of the blue being deemed as a clash with black. That ensured it had to be white, as far as they were concerned.

Absolute rubbish, Cardiff have played in blue against teams with black in the strip before. Hull last season and Watford this season being prime examples.

Bournemouth v Ipswich Town from just a month ago:

http://www.afcb.co.uk/news/article/high ... 97282.aspx

Note that Ipswich are wearing an all blue kit.

So, yes, that article is wrong.

Millwall also wore an all-blue kit at Bournemouth this season.

fukin hell you cant put something that shows truth on here. We played in white so it must be Tan.... bla bla have a look through the message boards, fukin full of physics that see this as an obvious Tan move where as this suggests there may be a reason why...

Im not pro Tan before any of you start - just pisses me off that "Everything" that happens at the moment just happens to be Tan and its boring.... White Kit.....Dhaeli......beers gone up 10p - fk me its Tan again...I actually think some are bloody obsessed

No, Millwall wore all blue at Bournemouth this season and their kit is a darker shade of blue than City's.

that's bullshit as it says "black is the prominent colour so could clash with blue" how come then when we played at Ninian Park in blue ,Wigan wore a black strip , also before we were rebranded few years back we wore blue at home and Ipswich wore black, they are just 2 incidences off the top of my head

Absolute rubbish, Cardiff have played in blue against teams with black in the strip before. Hull last season and Watford this season being prime examples.

The article is nonsense isn't it.

Ipswich, Millwall, Brighton, Reading and even Rotherham all wore either all blue or blue-and-white kits at Bournemouth this season.

I'm not making a judgement on whose decision it was to introduce an all white kit for Bournemouth.
But - unlike that article suggests - there was no reason why City could not have worn all-blue yesterday.

this article seems to be wrong but I agree that most on this site blame tan for everything,I doubt tan even thinks about Cardiff that much he has plenty of businesses and other football clubs now

The evidence proves that Bazza was right through Al

This is the biggest load of nonsense I have ever read on this site. There are already several examples of teams wearing blue at Bournemouth. The owner of every club decides what colour kits to bring out and what kit we play in. This is yet another pathetic stunt from Tan to disillusion the fans. Tan is punishing the fans because we won't accept his ridiculous rebrand. Not sure I'm going to bother travelling away again this season to watch us play in white. I'm tempted to even cancel my season ticket, I've really had enough now and need to have a long hard think about what to do.

In any case couldn't we just have had blue top with white shorts.

Seems the way to do it but why have the echo stated that was the case tho unless it's a recent change if policy by the fa ?

do you think this has happened or is it down to tan wanting his new kit

That's the FA rule, yes. Which is why City wore an away shirt yesterday. It still doesn't explain why City wore white instead of blue.
Ipswich and Millwall worked from the same set of rule and yet wore blue shirts, blue shorts and blue socks.

Basically, the reason we wore white instead of blue is because Vincent Tan is a complete and utter TWONK!

The fact of the matter is that,like several other clubs before us playing at Bournemouth this season,we could have played in our blue kit but the club management chose not to. Either deliberately to antagonise fans or because they misunderstood. the kit rules.The first option is totally unacceptable , the second would reflect the incompetence and lack of football knowledge at the club at a senior level.

By the way what has the science of physics got to do with anything.I can see no reference to it on the message board let alone the board being full of it as you claim

Keith Spot on, We agree for the first time in ages.

Absolutely no reason not to play in blue. The club know how much the colour means to us but they may as well not even have a blue kit if we're not even going to wear it against a team who play in black and red.

Wasn't a issue in this game

Is it that this was light blue and ours is darker ?

can i ask if you believe this to be true.......man utd v chelsea spring to mind.....just a thought..
