wormy Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Radically changing the identity of the club like that shouldn't have been allowed. I do wonder if there was any merchandising gain from changing the kit? Presumably the motivation was behind Asian market - but that surely would've been negated by lack of sales domestically? I think they tried to tell the fans the most successful clubs play in red, so they're changing to red to be more successful. It was some nonsense along those lines. Wasn't another theory that red is considered lucky in the East? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I have always thought the whole Cardiff rebranding thing was just about changing their badge from some shitty looking bird to a DWAGON!!!! and from blue to FIERY RED!!11111. It feels so tacky, it made me instantly dislike the team for some reason. How did the fans take it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels so tacky, it made me instantly dislike the team for some reason. How did the fans take it? Some hated it and others accepted it. The blue away kit they had last season out sold the home red kit., or at least it did it they sold out and they didn't get anymore stock in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Are they still the bluebirds? Are nicknames even an official thing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Are they still the bluebirds? Are nicknames even an official thing? Yeah, they still have a blue bird on their badge. Also their seats in the stadium are all blue and the owners have said that will not change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In recent years there's been a huge difference in the quality of shirts produced for the bigger teams and 'the rest', as it were. It seemed to start when the big brands - Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc started to make kits for sides in the lower leagues. When I was a young'un I barely recognised half the kit manufacturers for Championship and League 1 and 2 sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Kit makers just run off their templates for their non-big teams, without giving it much thought. We actually got recycled stuff until we started being *really big* in the mid 2000s and Nike got arsed to actually design our kits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't another theory that red is considered lucky in the East? That was the top and bottom of it, wasn't it? Their owner's a bit mental and decided they needed to change to red to bring them luck, in most ways he probably feels vindicated after seeing them finally make the top flight.

Dyeyzzon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 That Bournemouth kit is making me rage. How could Puma mess something that simple, ffs? I'm starting to think that Puma was allowed to have more freedom with experimenting on our templates. I mean, if someone like Brugge can get a good old striped shirt without all the spikes and back patch. Btw, PSG away Chels***. http://i41.tinypic.com/5nqdkh.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
