BJ Sands Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Talk about (maybe) spitting on a club's history:http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/may/08/cardiff-red-blue-rebrandingThis happens here but would absolutely be rejected over in Europe.Well, it's not unheard of, but it is very, very unusual for a club to change its colors. Crystal Palace did it in the 1980s, scrapping 80 years of claret and sky blue for red and royal stripes.Did not know that. But Cardiff might have to go away from its Bluebirds nickname. The logic behind the change is bad, too. I don't see Cardiff becoming popular in Asia regardless of its colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Arsenal's away kits and the roundel look fantastic...Utd's tartan, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Palace's switch wasn't that big, switching shades rather than colours. I can't see the Cardiff switch actually happening, not only is blue too wound up in the clubs history, but also every other welsh club would be annoyed at a perceived as taming over welsh identity. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 new home kit is worst kit in arsenal history. Oh, I can't agree with you there. Although I don't like the bicep stripes, it's still better than any of these:As for the new kit, I'm trying to decide if I prefer the striped white socks to the navy socks originally leaked: The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Gothamite Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yes. Palace used to wear the same colors as Aston Villa (one of their founders played for the Villans), and I wanted roughly equivalent pictures instead of trying to compare the early 1980s and today.

Gothamite Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Must agree to disagree, then. From the gold-trimmed bib to the contrasting nameplate, I really hated that shirt.

(Its actually also true that Palace went through a few more drastic changes over the 70s and 80s, including a blue and red sash on a White shirt. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Forgot about the white kits.I get what you're saying, but I doubt Villa or West Ham supporters would agree to such a change since they're just "a change of shades".

True, but for Palace in the late 60s you can see that changing to a more unusual color combination and away from a relatively common combination, one that 3 well established teams (Villa, West Ham and Burnley) used. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
