Cardiff City manager Russell Slade has said he believes the club's imminent return to their traditional blue kit "could be the spark to get us in the play-off places."
Club owner Vincent Tan called a meeting between officials and supporters on Thursday to discuss the controversial rebranding exercise he introduced in 2012, with fans also invited to air their views.
Thank you to over fifteen hundred #CardiffCity supporters who have written to us with honest & passionate views today, with more coming in.

The Malaysian businessman's move came on the back of a record low Cardiff City Stadium crowd of just over 4,000 for the FA Cup third round win over with Colchester.
His rebranding saw the club move to playing in red shirts with a dragon on the badge rather than their traditional blue kit with a bluebird badge.
The switch back to blue will have to be ratified by Tan, via video link, at a board meeting later on Friday -- but if he gives the go-ahead the Welsh club could be back in their old colours at home to Fulham on Saturday.
Slade, who attended Thursday's meeting, said: "It [the proposed switch away from red] was received very well from everyone at the football club, and I thought it was a giant step.
"If ever there was a big step that was it, and it would be nice if we were in blue on Saturday.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to build a new platform and put the bricks in place to rebuild and start again."
Cardiff, relegated from the Premier League last season, are 12th in the Championship after five matches without a win, but Slade, appointed as manager earlier this season, said he believed that could soon change.
"If you're going to be successful in any business, any football club, you need everyone pulling together as a unit," he explained.
"The owner and I have talked about the shirt and he was aware of the issue. He was not closing his eyes to it.
"If we can play in blue on Saturday, I would expect it to be the best atmosphere I would have experienced here, and probably for some of the players it would be the best they have experienced for a long time.
"We are always looking for momentum and this could be the spark to get us in the play-off places -- but it is down to the players as well as the fans."
