New Kits

It just goes to show how completely out of touch some of these foreign owners are.

If their owner's favourite colour is red then that's his opinion but you cannot change history. Cardiff have always worn blue, and it should stay that way. I know some fellow Jacks are wetting themselves laughing but in all honesty it is ridiculous that such an idea is being given serious thought.

Some clubs have experimented with different colours over the years, teams such as Crystal Palace who have spent the last 50 years in a colour identity crisis, but change has never gone down well with supporters. The only successful change to my knowledge was Leeds adopting all white (after us....... haha no Real Madrid if you believe the story), but that was in the 60's when experimentation was apparently an "in thing".

John Batchelor shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football club.

I remember that with Mansfield, but prior to that he screwed York City good and proper, changed the name to "York City Soccer Club" to make it appeal to Americans. He also changed the kit to this monstrosity:

York+City+Home+Shirt+2002-03.jpg


Whilst the Y-front was understandable, given they had that design in the 70's (albeit in claret!), the chequered flag sleeve ruined it. And the rubbish badge too.

Yes, I remember that one too. Poor fans. :(
 
I found this excerpt on the Cardiff supporters club website, seems as if the red kit is already ratified.

The Supporters Club have this evening been represented at a hastily convened meeting at Cardiff City Stadium, also attended by members of the Cardiff City Supporters Trust and reps from Cardiff's independent travel groups and messageboards. In attendance from the football club were Alan Whiteley, Julian Jenkins, Wayne Nash and Barry Macauliffe.

The meeting was called following internet rumours regarding a re-branding of the club which appeared over the last 24 hours and the following details were confirmed:

Cardiff City's home kit next season will be red shirts with a black flash, black shorts and red socks
The new badge incorporates a red dragon in a shield, with the words Cardiff City FC, est 1899
The away kit will be blue
The bluebird will not feature on any replica kit or official badge
The seats in the stadium will remain blue
A total investment of £100m by Vincent Tan, as equity not debt. This investment is on the proviso of agreement being reach with Langstone (agreement is very close). The investment will wipe out all debt as well as fund a state of the art training complex, stadium expansion to 35k and an increased playing budget
The club have no plans to offer refunds to the 16,000 season ticket holders who purchased tickets prior to this announcement

The meeting was told that the change to red kit and Welsh dragon badge was non-negotiable and there was no viable alternative for the Board but to accept the proposals as the club could not survive financially without the investment.
The majority of attendees spoke out against the proposals and some stated they would prefer the Malaysian backers to pull out rather than lose our identity and take whatever consequences, however some were happy to accept the change to guarantee the future of Cardiff City.
This is a fundamental change to our football club and now we need to canvass the opinion of our members as soon as possible to gauge the strength of feeling towards these changes, which are being implemented without any consultation of the fans.
Please email your thoughts to info@ccsc.co.uk and include your name and CCSC membership number. We will take all of your views on board and make any decisions based upon your feedback. Remember, this is your football club, so do make sure you let us know your thoughts, good, bad or indifferent.

I find this disturbing that a club can be held to ransom by a foreign owner in this manner: wear red and get loads of money, or don't comply and see the club potentially go under. This is an absolute disgrace, bitter rival or not, this should never be allowed to happen, and my fear is that many more foreign owners may pull off a similar stunt to rip the heart and soul out of the football clubs. We've already seen it happen to Wimbledon, and in Austria there was the story of Salzburg getting bought by Red Bull, who changed the colours. Why the hell should disposing of over a century of history just to change the shirts to the owner's favourite colour be a prerequisite for investment?

I think this is going to turn very ugly in the next few weeks.

I'm thankful that Swansea City isn't owned by a foreigner, we may not be loaded financially nor have an expensively assembled squad. However, I'd rather that over loads of money and no identity any day, hell, a few years ago when our new home kit had BLACK shorts some of us were rather pissed!
 
As was posted before Lazio signed with Macro for next season but aparently puma had already made the 12-13 kit if they were to keep using puma, a few photos have leaked:

I liked it, Macron will have to work hard to beat this.
 
A massive shame about the Lazio kit. The Puma effort is really fantastic in a retro 90's way. I'm sure the Macron design will be cheap and generic.
