I suggest we didn't have one because in reality Rockin would have been the winner - instead the dragon was steamrolled through under the heading of 'rebranding'.

I agree about not wasting too much club time and essentially money on making changes - but, tongue in cheek whilst we are happy to celebrate our heritage and discovery that we were formed in 1864 we were far to quick to distance ourselves from our traditional nickname 'The Robins'.

Cardiff are still the Bluebirds, Swansea the Swans - they for some reason didn't rush off to rebrand themselves using a dragon so why did we ?
It was changed after a fans vote in the Leader
