Season Review

"I'll be there"

Cardiff City released a new initiative for the 2010–11 season, as their "I'll be there" campaign. The nickname comes from one of the earliest songs sung by City fans, since the early 1920s. Cardiff's new board has renamed the Level Four area of Cardiff City Stadium the "Centenary Suite". The season tickets and tickets will be printed with the popular white and yellow strips of the 70s.

Kits

Puma carry on into a second year of manufacturing City's kits, while SBOBET continue into their last year of their contract as shirt sponsors. Cardiff adopt one of the Puma's new templates with wing shapes joining the torso and sleeves, whilst also continuing with the blue shirt and white short and socks. For their away kit, Cardiff adopted a black and yellow shirt. They also kept their 2009-10 yellow and blue away shirt and change it to their third kit.
