Red Mist Descends As Bluebirds Change Their Colours

Cardiff City have shocked fans by trading in their trademark blue kits for red ones and William Hill are offering 8/1 that in the first game of the season, the Bluebirds revert back to their traditional colours. They are also 11/2 to no longer be wearing the red kit for the final home game of the season.

“Fans of the Bluebirds are not happy and the best way in which they can protest is by refusing to buy or wear the new red kit,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Should they do that, the board will have to think long and hard about reverting to blue.”

Will Cardiff be wearing their red shirt at their first home game of the season: 1/20 yes; 8/1 no
Will Cardiff be wearing their red shirt at their final home game of the season: 1/10 yes; 11/2 no
