English Championship: Cardiff City FC adopt a new logo, return to their traditional blue colours

The Welsh club Cardiff City FC (Championship, English second division) have introduced their new logo in which the predominant colour is now blue, a change from red adopted in 2012 at the behest of the club's Malaysian owner Vincent Tan, and will play in the blue kit as of the 2015-16 season, announced the club on 09/03/2015.

This colour change follows the club's decision to revert to a traditional blue home kit from the 2015-16 season, following pressure by fans, which was announced on 09/01/2015.

The new logo contains two essential elements of the club's historic logos: the bluebird, which has appeared on the shirts of the club since 1959, and the shape of the shield, which was incorporated in 1927.

• "Our primary focus throughout the design and testing process was for the crest to demonstrate strong, historic links, while the modern and focused design is also seen as a strong visual step forward for Cardiff City," said the club on 09/03/2015.
• Cardiff City FC is currently 15^th (out of 24 teams) in the Championship.
