Bluebirds Confirm Kit Rebrand
Cardiff City, nicknamed the Bluebirds, have announced they intend to go ahead with a planned rebrand of the club that will see the club’s home kit change from blue to red, and introducing a new badge.
The Championship club also released a statement confirming that investors Tan Sri Vincent Tan and Dato Chan Tien Ghee have pledged their commitment to the club.
The changes are part of a major investment pledge from the Malaysian owners, who revealed last month that they believe a change of colour would expand the club’s appeal in international markets.
As well as wearing red rather than blue home shirts from next season – for the first time since 1910 – the Championship club will also look into expanding Cardiff City Stadium and upgrading the club’s training facilities.
The investment plan hopes to clear the historical debt to the Langston Corporation, which is represented by former Cardiff owner Sam Hammam.
Negotiations have opened with Hammam and a reported fair and reasonable offer had been made to the former City chairman in a bid to clear the debts, thought to be around £30m.
