TinnionForEngland Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 So they can make enough of a fuss over the shorts being the wrong colour red and have those changed, but minimal fuss over changing their identity all together, i hope their away kit ends up being green or something, just to wind them up even more.

Admin Ian M Posted May 30, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 We may mock but I have it on strict authority that the City board have instructed Adidas to produce a kit that includes a pair of socks as a mark of respect to the loyalty of our fans.

Well I stand to be corrected but I cannot find anything before the turn of this year in fact pretty much leading up to our playing you in Cardiff, where you denounce the heretic, your stance was somewhat i'm not happy but what can you do?, methinks the protest is about 18 months too late, just a thought perhaps you were all just waiting for the money before complaining?.

Portland Bill Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Clever marketing by Cardiff ( bear with me) the fans don't want red anyway. The owner does, so he stays with red but makes the shorts so hideous and the fans complain. Then he gives them a vote on what colour shorts they want, all of a sudden the fans think there "winning", The whole Cardiff City is blue gets forgotten, and the owner is laughing his head off while the suckers vote for a pair of shorts in a colour they don't really want.

Tall King Blox Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Pretty sure that is the intention. However, most I know - me included - have abstained and emailed the club telling them they won't vote for any strip which includes a red shirt. I don't think they will be able to crow about giving the fans what they want - that being a red shirt with ***** shorts. Actually every move the club makes to reinforce the rebrand has backfired. Scarfgate and now Shortsgate have both hardened opposition to the rebrand and even fans who weren't overly concerned about the colour switch are now pissed off with the club. Whether it will make any difference is another thing altogether but I expect to see even more blue at home games next season than we did towards the end of the last, and blue was in the majority then. A worldwide TV audience gives plenty of scope for embarrassing the club into realising they made a mistake. Never a dull moment. RFG i dont envy you guys, dont hold yer breath, unless the WDA comes to your rescue and buys out that clown, now theres a thought ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 RFG, I cannot agree that 'blue was in the majority' at your place last season. In Canton, it certainly was before the game against us but in the stadium, it was vastly more red or it certainly looked like it from the away corner! I reckon so many Johnny come lately's have signed up to the Malaysia band wagon that have no allegiance to the club as it was, your fight to return to your traditional colours is lost. More's the pity but that's how I see it WTGR. Who's to say Tan doesn't see this vote as a PR coup and then do exactly what he wants anyway?

ciderup Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 To be fair I said towards the end of last season i.e. after the BHA game and the scarf fiasco. And blue was in the majortiy afterwards, not massively but it was. Have a look at the film of the Charlton promotion game or stills from the same. I expect/hope it will be even more so when we start next season. One thing I can agree on is that Tan will do exactly as he wants. I think he may struggle to present the vote as a PR coup though. We'll see. As i said, it certainly makes close-season a bit more inetersting. Do you honestly trust Tan to publish the results of the vote without modifying them for his own benefit? I certainly wouldn't! I see this happening, Tan calls a press conference and says 'the supporters have backed my original plan to have the most disgusting colour shorts possible with our red shirts'. Meanwhile, absolutely nobody has actually voted for that choice and every single abstention will be twisted by Tan to be a sign of support. He can essentially say whatever he wants and nobody would be any the wiser! That's how he makes this debacle a PR coup! This isn't a pop at you or your club, just Tan. He's an odious little man with a very big ego IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
