As noted in a recent review on the Welsh American Bookstore ( 'From The Ashes' read here ):-

Following Cardiff City's historic promotion to the Premier league it is only to be expected that the team will attract more international attention and publicity. Indeed. this season both Cardiff City and their local arch rivals, Swansea City ( promoted in 2011), will be enjoying a bonanza of promotion courtesy of NBC who are broadcasting 380 live matches after securing Premier League broadcasting rights from ESPN and Fox Sports. Premier league sides have been allocated areas in New York and NY Taxis are sporting the teams colors and logos in a bid to increase viewing figures. Cardiff City got Brooklyn and The Swans got the Upper West Side. For more details of the area allocations see this pic:-

I know why they changed, but they could have just brought money. I'm not buying into the fact that we got promoted because we have red kits now. I do like the Welsh dragon, but they are/were Bluebirds. I'm still happy to see all the blue tops in the stadium when we play at home.

The new owners are Malaysian. They changed the badge and shirt color.

08/29/13 05:10:02AM @ceri-shaw:

Agreed! But where do the Malaysians come in....I'm confused

08/29/13 05:01:08AM @kenneth-b-lacey-jr:

damned Malaysians!!! but they did build us into the EPL, so I'm not sure if I'm still pissed about the shirt change. They really don't get it when it comes to team loyalty.

08/29/13 04:54:40AM @ceri-shaw:

buggered if I know...wish this shirt thing would get sorted

08/29/13 04:53:08AM @kenneth-b-lacey-jr:

or we wear blue shirts and are called the red dragons. dunno which is worse

08/29/13 12:47:20AM @ceri-shaw:

Aye well...till then lets hope we can all support both teams efforts to hammer the sais. Come Derby day we can all thump each other

08/28/13 11:24:39PM @ceri-shaw:

Good to see things getting off to a spirited and good-natured start

08/28/13 10:10:35PM @kenneth-b-lacey-jr:

what's to pick, Cardiff is the better side!
