I've never felt so uncomfortable and pissed off at the start of a City season than this one, but here's the official CCFC thread anyway.
I thought I'd best cover all possible permutations of the club's nickname. After all, we can't really be just the 'Bluebirds' when we're playing in red with a red dragon on our shirts, can we?
How many people do you seriously think will be shouting for the red dragons this season?there has never been any suggestion that we will be anything other than the Bluebirds and to imply other wise just detracts from the whole red argument and weakens the case of the keep cardiff blue brigade and makes them look like a load of whinging girls.
What are our new fans supposed to think (and this is all about our new, shirt-buying fans)? We play in red. Red is our colour. Our badge is red. It has a big red dragon on it.
But if you don't believe me, ask yourself this. When we were in Div 4, how many of the fans do you think would have just rolled over and accepted this re-branding in the vague, unexplained hope that changing our strip is going to somehow pave the way to unbridled success?
Ive seen, as i'm sure you have, City play in blue, red, green, yellow. black and white. We were always the bluebirds tho, and I dare say i will be watching them in blue a fair bit this season too.
Bad luck, guys. you just missed out on promotion again! Next year, eh? (Saves me posting it next year)
Any other season and I'd be straight onto youtube checking this guy out. Can't really be arsed when he's signing for the laughing stock that our club has become.
Please tell me thats been done in pen. Not because of the subject matter but because of the god awful quality of the work. Did he do it on himself in the mirror?
I think you'll find that the people posting still support the Bluebirds. They just don't support the comedy corporate business currently masquerading under the name. This article from a Doncaster fans sums it up rather well.
