[Archived] Would you be in favour of dropping the Blue & White Halves?

[Sparky Marky]

In light of the Cardiff promotion. Have they not just sold their souls to the devil?

[Sandiway Blue]

Not a chance! No Nay Never!!

Indeed they did in my opinion.

[cn174]

Could get worse for them, the fella wants to change their name to Cardiff Dragons

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Please dont take the p!ss!

As football progresses this is a topic (amongst others) that could well emerge. More and more owners with little or no knowledge of a club whatsoever can now it would seem, glide in and start making changes Willy-Nilly.

Making obvious reference to Cardiff's kit, but also including the 'Sports Direct Arena' (insert other examples), changes of historical aspects of clubs could well become the norm in Football. - also reference to 5:30pm KO of the FA Cup. All down to Budweiser chasing the largest TV audience possible.

Money talks guys. We might not like it, but unless you're all willing to stump up the many many millions it takes to run a club, then unfortunately we might not have a say in the matter.

Football drifts further away from the fans with every passing season - sooner we realise that the better.

NO!

[DE.]

Absolutely not. The kit is a huge part of Rovers identity and any owner with business sense would use the unique colour combo (very few others clubs look like us) as a promotion tool rather than trying to alter it.

[AJW]

No our strip is Historic , Iconic and one of a kind

[McClarky]

If they can be called Cardiff Dragons and play in a different strip why not move them to somewhere else entirely. Cardiff are now a joke club.

[Mr Maureen]

I personally dropped the "Blue and White Halves 2 years ago.

That kind of thing seems to happen a lot in the USA.

Oops - double jeopardy!

[1864roverite]

You may as well as suggested we change to claret and poo colours ! Get rid of the blue and white, NOT EVEN WANKYS could do that

[yoda]

blasphemy even having a thread on the subject,

The originator should be hung drawn and quartered ASAP

[steverovers]

Not a chance I'd ever support such lunacy!

[Amo]

Most fans would begrudgingly accept it if the club was doing well. and by accept it I mean continue to support the club vocally and financially.

[gumboots]

Was the discussion on Talksport this evening and just about the only time I've ever agreed with Durham. The blue and white halves are Blackburn rovers and, at least venkys, whatever else they have done, have recognised that and left the kit largely as it was (yes I do know it's now halves, not opposite on front and back, but from front it still looks the same)

[Salgado Is A Hero]

I'd begrudgingly accept them renaming Ewood Park for guaranteed promotion because I'd continue to call it Ewood anyway but there's no chance I'd want us to change our kit.

[Aberdeen Blue]

Yeah, we could change to chicken shyte brown to match Venky's "management".......

Seriously, absolutely no chance. The famous kit is sacrosanct.

I think that's why Cardiff have for the most part got away with it. Imagine if they'd come in changed their kit and they'd got relegated or something, wouldn't have been 'accepted' nearly as well.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Not a chance, the blue and white halves are part of our DNA.

[ABBEY]

I'd change to bronco orange !!

[Steve Moss]

The blue and white halves are part of the Rovers branding which have been in place for more than 100 years. It would be insanity to change the home kit. It would be the equivalent of McDonalds giving up the Golden Arches or the Marine's giving up dress blues.

[T4E]

If it ended up like Cardiff then yes.

What does heritage do for anyone on a daily basis? Absolutely nothing, it's just a good excuse for not bothering to move forward.

[Ianrally]

I think the wan keys would keep the halves no problem, but I could just see Agnew creeping up to Madame and suggesting the colours of the Indian flag. A lovely combination of orange and green halves with white trim. Yummy

[Guest Norbert]

No, nay, never. It is distinctive and I like the halves.
