Change of colours with money investment...

[Norfolk N Chance]

As per Cardiff...

Foreign investor comes along with pure intention of getting us into the premier and waving upto £100 million to get the best of the players available...

But you have to change colour of kit and thus to certain degree compromise history and identity

Would you embrace this?

I for one would for the bigger picture!

[mushRTID]

No

No f*****g chance!

[Chris Black come back]

This is an absolute scandal. Who on earth thinks this is going to be a success?

[drfcsteve]

Norfolk still thinks our "experiment" went well so no surprises he's behind this too.

[nightporter]

NO!! We've always played in hoops.  Apart from when we played in all Red. Or when we played in all White.   For £100 million we'd play in a tutu.

[Norfolk N Chance]

People just dont like change !

The bigger picture is the landscape is changing for ever, so move with it!

If you are investing £100m of course you want the club moulding into what you want!

[Spud]

Wonder what price Norfolk would put on his mum...

[Donnybax]

Not a chance.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

It's a colour, I couldn't care less, I'd watch us in pink if someone paid 100M for it.

[donnyroversfc]

I'd walk away and never come back.

Bollox to all this "it's 100 million, i dont care what colour we play in, GIVE US THE MONEY".

We'd be some rich little tarts play thing and they'd piss off leaving us up shit creek, with no paddle. You lot can all love it though if you want, i'd justg laugh at you all crying when it went horribly wrong.

so you'd be laughing at your own club too, nice..

I don't honestly believe JR would ever let that happen to us. I'd find it unacceptable too.

It wouldn't be MY club, i'd have walked away from it the second it happened.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Changing colours is one thing, but blue to red is taking it a bit far. Not to mention they have played in blue constantly for over a hundred years.

Anyway, there's three things here beyond my personal opinion:

• Its a total "Feck you, we're the daddies!" from the new owners to the fans.
• Its all about money, branding, of the moment and nothing about history, culture and loyalty. Its worse than american.
• If the owners are like this at the start, whats going to happen further down the line? Move the club to Malaysia?

Back to my opinion, its scary times for Cardiff fans.

[Wild Rover]

How many colour changes have DRFC had ( in my lifetime i remember Three), i dont mean change of style .

Why not get paid for it.

Since 1885 we've always had red in our home kit. 13 seasons its been with more white. Its often had a bit of black, sometimes green and occasionally a touch of blue.

For Cardiff, the blue has been absolutely dominant every single season. They were more blue than we were red. They are swapping sides on the table football - its drastic. Next season they'll be "Cardiff Dragons", you watch.

Try telling that to Wimbledon F.C. (ex MK Dons) fans.

[andysly]

Yes without even blinking. We don't have colour/design history of other clubs.
If I were an Arsenal fan for example it'd be a no to changing from their famous kit.

[Mr1Croft]

The thing is it has killed Cardiff fans to see Swansea in the Prem and they are now ready to sell their soul for £100 Million to try and become the more dominant Welsh team. I don't their doing it for the money, but for sucess; most of the fans see it as a fair exchange IF it works and that is what is wrong with Football in this country; clubs are willing to take away their identity for sucess.

[pubteam]

Not if it was in the same circumstances as Cardiff, with someone with no connection to the club doing it. Simply because that sets a dangerous precedent for things to be altered. Where are they going to stop? Will the club be renamed? Will it even be moved away from Cardiff?

If it was somebody like JR changing the colours and badge to 'rebrand' the club, I don't think I'd object to it, because he's unlikely to do anything stupid. But when it's a Malaysian investor or something doing it who doesn't know the first thing about the traditions and values of football, it's a dangerous game.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Although I love the red and white hoops and I wouldn't want to change them, when it gets right down to brass tacks I don't care what colour the team play in as long as they're Doncaster Rovers.

[Chris]

This is only going to end in tears for Cardiff!

He already has done, in the Conference we changed from red to all white then back to red again, and he also changed the club badge to that shite Thundercats thing when he fell out with the Supporter's Club over the copyright to the Viking badge.

[Jimmydee]

Red is the colours of the national team of their country, the dragon on the new badge also represents their nation and also the Chinese link, the Bluebird is still on the badge. I would be happy to watch us play in polka dots if it meant major investment, but I wouldn't buy the replica shirt.

[southwestexile]

i quite like the idea of polka dots

we could have a half-time game of twister

[Chris]

If they want to invest £100m then why not just make the investment? I don't understand why the club needs to go through a period of significant re-branding.

[Alan_Rovers]

I'm glad somebody else has pointed out that we have already changed colours in JR's chairmanship. Now that we have colours and a hooped design that is synonymous with it being Doncaster Rovers, I only hope we never change colours again. I think it is a bad idea.

[glosterred]

Yes for me - I'd embrace the change, the could change the strip from Red and White hoops to White and Red hoops! But seriously, if someone came in with a lot of money to invest, and invest for the right reasons - then they could change the colours to any they liked as far as I am concerned.

COYR, or green, or blue or whatever colour!

[Simple]

Yes I'd agree to the change. 

It's a bigger change for Cardiff than Rovers, as other people have posted red and white hoops has only been introduced back to the rovers home shirt for the last few seasons, before that during my time we've had several different designs and colours.

It was only a few years that we changed the colour of the shorts....if we got some money for it, then bonus!
