Vincent Tans changes Cardiff City's kit back to Blue :bluescarf:


Owner Vincent Tan switched the club’s home shirts from the traditional blue to red in the summer of 2012, but, after pressure from supporters, reversed the decision in January 2015.

In July 2015 when Gavin Rae was interviewed.

Gavin Rae welcomed the move, but said the switch should never have happened in the first place. :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Gavin Rae:
“He is obviously a huge investor, but you’ve got to remember, it’s not been his club for the whole of history,” said Rae. “It’s never been red for starters."

"I support Aberdeen, they have obviously always been red and if they changed to a different colour it would be bizarre. It’s like Rangers or Celtic changing their colours, it’s unthinkable, no-one would even contemplate it."

“It’s paramount the club now focuses on matters on the pitch, there has just been so much stuff going on off the pitch the last couple of years.

“It is obviously much better now things are back to being blue, and the new strip is lovely. Cardiff are in the right place now, but it is a factor they could have dome without over the last couple of years.”

So is our 1927 cup win, but we still talk about it. Anything to do with Cardiff, past or present, will always crop up from time to time.

The rebrand has been done to death on here and it does make me wonder why the media keep bringing it up especially when the club is moving forward

I am with you Steve, As City fans we talk about 1927.we talk about Real Madrid, we talk about Ninian Park, we talk about Alan Durban, Sam, Riddler, Eddie May etc etc
But when it does not suit people we suddenly are not able to talk about it :lol:

I was sent an email with all stuff on the players who are playing in Super Kevs Testimonial and for the last week I have been putting up stuff daily and all related to City :thumbright: :bluebird:

GAVIN RAE WAS A PLAYER WHO SPOKE OUT ON A LOT OF STUFF :thumbright:

Like it or not, this has become part of the club's history. Highlights like our European adventures, cup finals, FA cup victory, Ninian Park, John Toshack etc., are part of our history and will be good memories. The fact that we did'nt like our struggles at the bottom of the league, the re-brand and the division it caused among fans, our defeats to the Jacks and so on does'nt mean that they will be erased from our history and never be brought up in conversation. You can bet that every book written about Cardiff City in the future will have some reference to the re-brand, and the split that caused with our fans. Unfortunately, you cannot erase history, and anything and everything to do with this club will invariably be brought up from time to time.

Spot on Steve :thumbright: :bluebird:

Plus the radio chat shows talk about the past present and future every week.

A big match for Kev is coming up with a lot of past names and Gavin Rae seems to be a player who really spoke out.
I had forgot about shat he had said until I was sent all his quotes.

We must never forget all our history good or bad and should feel free to talk about it, not swept under the carpet. The same ones told us to move on at the time and try to deny it all happened now.

It really did hurt that bad to the diehards and will never go away and should not,so it can never happen again :thumbright: :bluebird:

Football fans from Spain, America, Germany still come up to me and say your club was the club that changed its clour.
