BRING BACK OUR 70's KIT.

Fri Mar 09, 2018 8:33 pm

When you think of clubs that have a clear identity and distinct image you might think of Newcastle, Palace, W.B.A.,Celtic and Q.P.R. but for us and allot of blue kit teams we don't have that clear distinction.What does everyone think I about having our famous yellow and white stripe 70's kit as our 'permanent' home kit with some tweaks each yr.Would we sell more kits? Personally I think we have missed a trick not creating a clear kit image and if we do get to the prem and look at growing our brand worldwide would this make a difference?

whilst our kits have got better since the hideous red [though imo last years was nicer than this years], I agree - this was our best ever kit and should be revived in some form and I think we would undoubtedly sell more as a result. Unfortunately though, I suspect that we will be stuck with a red away kit instead of the reverse yellow with blue and white stripe...

Whilst many on here (including myself) love the kit, don't we hold it in high regard because of our age?
Many on here I suspect are of similar age to myself whose earliest memories of Cardiff are from mid to late 70's, and I think that's why many of us love that kit.

I love the kit as well but feel it should be released as a one off on a special season. Should have been first season in ccs.

Brilliant idea. Always loved that kit.
It would be a real eye catcher in the Premier.

If we are promoted it would be fantastic to see it as our first kit next season :thumbright: :bluescarf:

I also believe it would break all sales for us :thumbright:

I doubt they made to many of a third kit to be honest and it's not as if they would use an old kit anyway :roll:

Just seems like your making a reason that doesn't exist to have a dig at the club.

I think that's a great idea and ordinarily I would buy it.

But I'll never buy anything with this badge on it, unfortunately.

Not having a dig at all - it was just a tongue in cheek response to your reply.

Anything is better than that lime green hideous kit, looks like a team who have had a clash of colours and had to run out to Sports direct and buy the stock of lime green tops...horrible. I am happy with Blue as it is though I love the old kit. :bluebird: :bluescarf:
