• Malaysian investors may end 104 years of history
• Cardiff rugby side to return to Arms Park next season

Cardiff City's Malaysian investors are giving serious consideration to changing the team's colours as part of a highly controversial rebranding exercise that would see the Welsh club play in red from the start of next season and bring to an end 104 years of wearing a blue strip.

Cardiff's nickname of "the Bluebirds" would seemingly be redundant if the changes come into effect, and there is speculation that a red dragon will become the new emblem.

Money would appear to be the motivation behind a radical overhaul that the club's Malaysian owner, Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun, is prepared to oversee, with red said to be viewed as a more dynamic colour in Asia when it comes to marketing merchandise.

One theory is that fresh investment would come in on the back of the rebranding, giving Cardiff another shot at reaching the Premier League after suffering defeat in the play-offs in each of the last three seasons. Whether Cardiff fans buy into that trade‑off remains to be seen.

In another development in the Welsh capital on Tuesday, the football club have released Cardiff Blues from their long‑term lease at the stadium, meaning the rugby union side will return to the Arms Park from next season.

Alan Whiteley, the Cardiff City chief executive, said: "Satisfactory financial terms have been reached with the Cardiff Blues to allow their exit, which, coupled with the Premier League aspirations of this football club and a need therefore to be in sole control of our stadium, makes this a good solution for both sides."
