From the club site showing there is a track record of using white shirts and al least they have some alternative colours in them and blue shorts. No total comparison with our country cousins: - SOME HISTORY: All at Cardiff City hope this white away shirt can emulate the team of 1960 and gain promotion to the top flight. The adoption of white shirts as our alternative away strip for the 2011/12 season is not new in the Club's history. In several seasons during the 1950s, when City were in the original First Division (1952-57), white was the colour when City had to change if the home side wore blue. Prior to the 1950s, the Bluebirds had worn red as their alternative colours as was again the case at the end of the 1950s. This time it will be white shirts with blue shorts - in the 1950s it was white shirts with black shorts, and older City fans who were following the Club in those years will recall the pre-season public-practice matches "Blues" against "Whites". A Bluebirds win at Chelsea? - it happened in November 1952, in January 1957, in September 1962, and in all three games we wore white shirts. In the 1959/60 season, we wore all-white as our alternative away strip in what was a promotion year. In fact we wore that strip for two home games - the promotion-clinching 1-0 win against Aston Villa on April 16th 1960 when Graham Moore scored the all-important goal, and in the following home match against Plymouth three days later. During the following two seasons the change strip was white shirts with blue shorts, as is the case in the coming season. And there were several occasions in the mid-to-late 1960s and in the early-70s when an all-white strip was the alternative norm. And there were times in the mid-to-late 1990s when we wore white shirts for away games. When we first joined the League in 1920, the rule was that in the event of a colour-clash, the younger club would change either home or away. Later on, it was the case of an alternative strip only if there were a colour clash with the home side. But for a number of years now, clubs can wear alternative away strips as long as they are registered.
I think the white away kit is a psychological masterstroke. Nobody expects a Welsh team wearing white to score against them so defenses will relax a little. View attachment 5351 I quite like it. Blue, yellow and white is all that matters imo
Leeds don't have blue shorts. I think it's okay and a change from the black, red and yellow of recent years.
Leeds United 70s, Tottenham double team sixties, Real Madrid most of the time, Pentre Athletic 4th side all great teams who have worn white. I can't think of anymore but please feel free to add any I may have overlooked
For those who have seen the Barcelona fan winning a white car on a spanish gameshow.....Blanco ...Blanco !!!!
Hey Sayer, my old Chemistry teacher was Ton Pentre through and through. Dr Tudor Edwards. Good Chemistry teacher but could bore the pants off you talking about Pentre.
