I know it's Cardiff, but Malaysian Owners/Backers. So there IS a link between them and us.

How would we react to similar changes ?

On the plus side, they've (allegedly) been sniffing around our Tommy Schmidt for a while, so now we can sting them for some Taffy Pounds.

Would be furious with our owners if they changed from our blue and white hoops. The changes cardiff are going through just seems unreal, now from bluebirds to dragons? Imagine us changing from ''hoops'' to ''stripes'' etc??? All the other things they're planning to do seems only good for the club, like upgrading their facilities, expanding their stadium, strenghten the squad - but we know with some T&C experience that an owners promise is empty til it's accomplished.

Personally, if I was a Cardiff fan, I wouldn't be THAT upset at being rebranded a Dragon instead of a Bluebird. A Dragon is more aligned with being Welsh than a bird. And it probably wouldn't bother me THAT much if the Blue & White kit became the away kit and was replaced with a red/black version at home. But it could just as easy be the other way round.

However, as an 'R', the Hoops are part of our history and tradition (although light/dark blue halves was our original colours). Hyperthetically, I don't see changing them to 'stripes' being a similar comparison. But changing them from Blue/White to Red/White is more comparable. would that REALLY be so bad, bearing in mind we used Green/White for a while ?

As I say hyperthetically, but for me, Blue/White all day long (but wider and less of them than the current trend)

Many QPR fans already feel cheated by the introduction of the much thinner hoops.
I am not interested in buying and wearing a Reading shirt.

Why is thinner hoops a Reading thing? I don't associate them with thin hoops at all.

I associate them with horizontal stripes on the front of their shirts. If we did that, I'd think it was a Reading kit.

Where has this Reading thing come from? They've not had thinner hoops since the 70s and QPR also had more hoops in the 70s.

Personally,as long as Rangers existed,it wouldn't matter what colour we played in!

I would hate if our hoops were changed but as its cardiff.........couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of fans!

Imagine some of them are wondering what to do with their 'bluebirds' tattoos this afternoon......

Maybe now we see why we have the red strip for next season, TF knows what he's doing, think the furore over the red was over the top by some fans, when you see whats happening down there in Wales. Personally quite like our red alot better than the green & white hoops, or last seasons mango

[BUSHRANGER1982]

I do wish some of our fans would stop spouting shyte on other team's message boards.
Why do people feel the need to do that?
I don't like Cardiff City FC, or it's mongy fans, but I agree with the ones who told the QPR fan to fark off. It's patronising drivel at it's worst.

A dragon actually makes more sense for them.

Did Flavio want us to change to QPC?
