we ARE NOT blue!!!!!

Fri Aug 10, 2012 10:52 pm

We are not blue, but neither are we red! We are blue and we are red!

We are not just Welsh and we are not only Malaysian, we are Walaysian!!!

Amazing night and what stood out for me was that even though we are red home and blue away, one is not seen as above the other as a colour. The scarves, the lighting of the letters, the fireworks, the fridge magnets and even the shoppung bags point to what this amazing club of ours is becoming. VT and TG want a hybrid, a multinational club supported by Wales and Asia. They want a 'super club' and their vision is astounding and will only benefit us. The last few days has been exciting and I believe they will hold true to debt free etc as it is in both ours and their long term interests and the proffesionalism and development of all aspects of the club at present bear witness to this.

We are about to begin a great ride. We are now BLUE and RED ! Bluebird and Dragon! Tradition and future! Heritage and vision. Fire and passion!

The part I've highlighted in bold and underlined...why has our dictator forced us to have a red home kit then? :?

Wouldn't surprise me if we had a similar kit to Palace next season.. Fans still keep chanting Bluebirds and Blue Army, we watch a brilliant team

TONTEG; perhaps for the reasons we have been told, that is, marketing in the asian markets. A home (or first kit) will undoubtedly bear more market value. However, I have never seen an 'away' ' kit bear as much weight as what i saw in the branding as tonight. Where have we seen black and gold at Liverpool? Orange at Swansea? Grey at Man Ure? We don't but at Cradiff blue is as esteemed as red!!!

Years and years ago. Didn't vote last time round which i'm glad about as at the time cameron seemed to be talking sense, so at least by not voting I got nothing to feel sorry about. With Leanne Wood in charge who I find quite visionary I will more than likely vote plaid next time

But in the Asian markets they will be selling off our shirts for a few dollars. Liverpool dominate the sales in Asia and I think their shirts sell for something like 8 dollars each and it is simply not enough to make enough of a financial difference to warrant a change. I also stick to my point that we have Malaysia across our shirts as the sponsor. With the games being beamed back to Malaysia with Malaysia on our shirts, if that can't generate sufficient interest, I don't think anything will. Thirdly, the business marketing experts in Malaysia have said theirselves that red isn't really seen as a superior colour out there. The fact that Malaysia's away kit is blue also suggests this rebrand is being done for no reason whatsoever apart from the fact VT wants this. If there was evidence of this being beneficial to us I would at least understand, but I am still confused and still very upset over all this. Obviously, I appreciate we all have differing feelings and emotions over this and I want to debate maturely. Finally, I hope you had a great evening and hope you can appreciate my thoughts.

I bleed blue; don't think it will kit wise as that would muddy the brand identity, we're not blue and red stripes, we are blue and we are red. Some of the merch bears both those colours and on some items they play off each other fantastically (scarves in particular) but i can't see the kit going that wway.

Tonteg; its great to have someone on here who I can finally debate this sensibly with! I can see your rational with liverpool but they are an english club marketing in asia. VT's plan is not that we are a Welsh club marketing ourselves there but that we are their club as well as our own. This is where my hybrid or 'super club' ' theory sits. If our colours echo the Malaysian national steam by slightly changing around were our blue kit features then I think that confirms it even more.. we are now a Walaysian club!!!

Had a great night too thanks, kids loved it!!! My 2 year old has been saying "cardiff city" for the first time today and had a huge bring when he realized the badge on the stadium was the same as the one he had on his new shirt

All we can do now is wait and see what happens in the future and what direction VT takes our club. I'm glad you had a great evening. I've seen a few pictures uploaded and the families and kids all seem to have smiles on their faces loving it and that's what it's all about. Full credit to you for making your kids Bluebirds early too, my dad took me to my first game when I was 4 years old back in 1988 and because of my dad, I fell in love with my local club and I was Bluebird!

Tonteg; similar story to myself. My dad passed away in 2000 so sadly has missed the excitement of the last 12 years. I took my mother along tonight and she loved it it and said that she wondered what my dadwould have made of the changes and would have to see what my uncle said lol.

Keep going Dazzy. You're proving my first post about you right with every word you type. I'm starting to wonder if you're a pro-red double agent sitting in the blue camp conducting espionage as that would explain the drivel you keep writing and how good it is a turning people over to the red side!

Firstly we are not Malaysian. A championship club is not going to sell shirts in Asia. We are over 90 million pounds in debt and rising.We have made some good signings but they have not surpassed anything that some of our rivals have done.You mention heritage but in the same sentence also mention fire and passion which is a crappy motto that has just been invented.You state that we are about to begin a great ride but others would argue we are being taken for a ride.
It will take more than a few fireworks to convince me otherwise. :ayatollah:
