BLUEBIRDS ARE BACK

10th January 2015

Don’t mess with tradition would seem to the belief of all football fans. So when at the start of the 2012/13 season the Bluebirds of Cardiff City changed their colours from blue to red it didn’t go down too well with supporters. Club owner Vincent Tan made the change as part of a ‘rebranding exercise’ with red being considered a lucky colour in Asia where Tan hoped to increase the clubs’ popularity. But a 'Keep Cardiff Blue' campaign kept the pressure on the directors and after only 4194 turned up for a home FA Cup Third Round tie in January 2015 a change was announced. So on January 10th 2015 22,515 were at the Cardiff City Stadium to see Cardiff playing in blue again - the Bluebirds were back with a 1-0 Championship victory over Fulham.
