Cardiff City F.C.: The Time The Bluebirds Turned Red

For the time being, it seemed like such radical plans had been pushed down by fan opposition. However, on 6th June 2012, one month after the original plans were leaked and retracted, plans would change again. On this day, Cardiff City would announce that starting the following season, the club’s official colours would change from blue to red, including the team’s home shirts. The club’s crest would also change from solely featuring a bluebird to prominently featuring a red dragon, with a much smaller bluebird sitting underneath. Cardiff City’s home kit for the 2012-13 Championship season would include a red shirt with white and black detailing, black shorts with red and white detailing and red socks with white and black details. In a move that was also sure to anger plenty of fans, the club’s traditional home kit of a blue shirt, white shorts and blue socks would become the new away kit. In addition, the club’s owners pledged to invest in the playing squad, expand the Cardiff City Stadium, upgrade the training ground and pay off the £30m owed to former owner Sam Hammam.
