JonnyBoy Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 premier league AND champions league football? I would still say no i think. Imagine being renamed Leicester City Fosse who now play all in red, dear Lord
Guest Bilo Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 Just beaten Manchester City... Football is evolving and you've got to adapt to it, just like anything in life. All this 'modern football' stuff is rubbish. lol lol Are you seriously suggesting they beat Manchester City because they're wearing red these days?! That's the stupidest thing I've ever read on this forum, and I remember Daggers being called a potential paedophile. They've had money chucked at them all over the place, but I'll wager they will still finish below their local rivals Swansea. Swansea have managed to establish themselves in the Premier League without spending wildly, getting themselves into mountains of debt or prostituting their heritage on the whim of Far Eastern businessmen. Vincent Tan hasn't ruled out a name change for the club, patronises the fans with utter tripe and has disowned the colours that served Cardiff City well for over a century. Most clubs in this country aren't doing that, in spite of increasing commercialisation within the game. To imply that Cardiff's identity change is 'evolution' and the Cardiff fans should 'adapt,' along with the fans of any other club whose owners wish to do the same is frankly insulting. Would you be willing to 'adapt' and call it 'evolution' if Top decided we were to play in all yellow next season and renamed the Elephants? I somehow doubt it.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 Blue and Champ all day long. Why the huge rush to go to play Stoke, West Brom and Fulham? The main advantage of the Prem is purely financial these days, which has an adverse affect on us fans anyway by having to pay more for tickets etc and sign big time Charlies who have no association with our football club.As a city fan I enjoy going to watch them play, and want them to win, regardless of what league they are in. Everyone is falling over themselves about how we must get promoted blah blah. How about just going and watching and supporting your local team instead of insisting on this ridiculous pressure.So no, I wouldn't a feature that is so fundamental to our history to play in the Premiership, just my opinion ofcourse.
Guest Bilo Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 Id take a red away kit in the prem? In fairness, I'd buy a red away kit. We haven't had one in donkeys' years.

Completely agree with the signing big names charlies bit, if we were in the premiership, would will still see the likes of Moore and King and would we still have as many youth players coming through? no we'd just be buying and selling more so I think that's a great point to make.

On the other hand, it'd be really satisfying to see players like Moore and King hold their own and perform in the Premier League. I could see King doing well as the physicality he doesn't always have for the Championship wouldn't be so necessary in the Premier League and Moore is a Premier League centre-half in waiting, so too is Morgan. If you don't believe me, Gareth McAuley was Players' Player of the Year last season for West Brom. Yes, that Gareth McAuley.

I was joking, hence I added the ellipses. I wouldn't put it past our owners if I'm honest. I mean, we've already seen our images of club legends replaced with the king power banners, as well as them having the stadium name. I think most people forget football is a business, regardless. Change of team name is too far, but kit colour change is no big issue to me. Other clubs have changed their kit colours before. I wonder if there was this uproar when Revie decided to make Leeds look more like Madrid.
Corky Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 Blue in the Championship. Ideally, as Bert said in the Premiership. But red has no connection to us. If they went back to our original Fosse colours then it would be understandable (though not correct). Such a shame to see what has happened. I remember popular smaller clubs like Barnsley and Bradford getting promoted and giving it a good go. Now you have a club whose owner wears a replica shirt over a suit and another who rebrands his club name because he finds it "dull".
Carl the Llama Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 Considering we're talking about the Cardiff change, badge and all, I'd rather be blue in the Ch'ship. If I wanted to follow a red-kitted team with a badge that bears no relation to anything to do with me, I'd be a bloody Utd glory fan. And for all the "foxes are red because that's what they're called" crowd: Have you honestly never heard ginger-tops being called red-heads? It's the same bloody thing,

I wonder if there was this uproar when Revie decided to make Leeds look more like Madrid. For the love of God I hope you were joking, Vincent Tan wouldn't be. I do think the owners have a reasonable understanding of our club culture, though the application of gold on our home kit this season was an unwelcome addition, so i just don't see them doing anything like that.We should remember as well that kit changes in the past have been for footballing or even practical reasons. Revie wanted his side to emulate Real Madrid on the field as they were far and away the greatest club side on the planet at the time. There was no commercial intent here, just a rather unconventional means of inspiring his team to play better and a statement of intent. Had they been shit, I'm sure they'd have gone back to the blue and yellow that now forms their trim. As TPH said earlier in the thread, kits were often decided by what colours were available or what dyes were in the area. Leicester Fosse wore blue and white stripes rather than solid royal blue during WWI and just after the event because they were skint and couldn't afford the rationed dye! We have, however, worn blue pretty much continuously since then (1972-1973 being the brief exception where we changed to all white, which was swiftly dropped) and any attempt to change would, hopefully. be met with opposition. What Tan has done isn't just hard nosed and business driven. He wants to turn Cardiff into Malaysia's number one team, but that's not going to happen until they're beating Manchester United and Manchester City on a regular basis, not just in games in August. The Malaysians aren't that stupid, and he knows it. It's an ego trip for him, changing the colours to something he prefers because he can. Essentially, over 100 years of history have been pissed away because of one man's ego.
Langley Posted 25 August 2013 Posted 25 August 2013 Blue. Forever. I can JUST remember when we changed our badge. Confused me at the time, I was 3 mind you. I wonder how I would react to a total changed badge. We re-vamped ours and it looks nice (better than before I daresay) but I think it would depend on what it looked like.
Vlad the Fox Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 Blue, never red. I don't own or have very rarely owned anything red my deep rooted hate of the forest as ensured my life is red free. I wont eat cakes with red icing, felt like a traiter whenever i got on a midland red bus as a kid, red tops are folded inwards and placed at the bottom. ****, I even hate having to stop at red traffic lights and sit there cursing the traffic interrupting bastards. My house is red free. Blue all the way.
peach0000 Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 If like with cardiff our owners invests heavily and gets us promoted then continues to invest millions in my opinion they can do whatever the **** they like with the kit. Also leicester city haven't always been blue.

Bayfox Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 Apart from most of your organs are some kind of red, and your blood is red... Shall i bite?
Loggy88 Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 I'd rather be blue in the blue square premier than red in the premier league.
Fox92 Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 Shall i bite? Nah, I'm only joking with him. You can do if you want, though.
theessexfox Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 we can play in pink for all i care, as long as we're in the prem!
bluesbrothers Posted 26 August 2013 Posted 26 August 2013 If we were the Leicester King Power Red Foxes, I'd go and watch Burton instead. No time for that nonsense.
