Cardiff City fans celebrated victory yesterday after club owner Vincent Tan reversed the controversial decision he made in 2012 and changed the team’s shirt colours back to blue.
The change will be immediate with Cardiff set to be in blue for today’s clash with Fulham.
Tan decided to make the kits red as it was seen as a lucky colour, with the team promoted to the Premiership the following season.
