As well as the Bluebirds here are some other controversial kits from history.
Barcelona sponsorship
Having previously said their kit was too pristine Barca eased fans in initially by having UNICEF on their shirts for a year, before quickly changing to a lucrative deal with the Qatar Foundation.
Boca Juniors purple kit
The macho fans of the Argentine club were not impressed with this affair and were even less so when they failed to win a single game whilst wearing it.
Cameroon sleeveless
At the Africa Cup of Nations in 2002 the Cameroonians donned vests, for them then to be told they could not wear it at the World Cup that summer in Japan and South Korea and black sleeves were added as a result.
Cardiff colour change
As previously outlined the ever eccentric and increasingly unpopular owner Tan decided to change 114 years of history and make the kits red because it was ‘lucky.’
Celtic broken hoops
May not seem like such a big issue in light of more modern offerings, but when Umbro decided to put panels on the side of the shirt and therefore break the hoops there was discontent among the fans.
Manchester United grey kit
A now infamous story, then manager Sir Alex Ferguson blamed the fact his United team were 3-0 down to Southampton at half-time on the colour of the kits and banned them from then on.
Rangers orange kit
Back in the 2002/03 season the Glasgow club were accused of cashing in on their political supporters in Ireland by using an orange shirt. It lasted until October of that campaign before being pulled.
St Johnstone
For understandable reasons in 1990/91 fans weren’t so keen to wear a shirt emblazoned with the carpet fitters that were now sponsoring them.
Voukefalas FC
Perhaps the most controversial of the lot was Greek lower division side Voukefalas, who decided to have the local brothel sponsor them – which was later banned.
And finally… more Barcelona
Not happy with annoying the fans once, this is the proposed Barca kit for next season – which is now messing with their traditional design.
