Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has revealed that his mother helped him realise that the club should return to their traditional blue kit.
The 62-year-old changed the blue strip to red when he took over the Welsh club in 2012 in a bid to appeal to international markets.
However, following a meeting today, it was confirmed that the shirts will be blue from now on and the club's crest will revert back to a bluebird as opposed to a red dragon.
A statement from Tan via the club's official website read: "The Christmas and New Year period has given me time to reflect on the events of the last year. Spending time with my family had a profound effect upon me. My mother Madam Low Siew Beng, a devout Buddhist, who attended Cardiff City Football Club to watch them play, spoke to me on the importance of togetherness, unity and happiness.
"Cardiff City Football Club is important to me and I wish to see it united and happy. With the guidance, blessing and influence of my mother, I asked my chairman Mehmet Dalman and chief executive Ken Choo for their advice and to consult with a good cross-section of the fan base.
"This meeting took place last night, when some seventy representatives of our supporters were present. My thanks and gratitude to those who gave up their evening and time to be there.
"I am informed that this was a very productive and frank exchange of views, but all with the same objective to strengthen our club. These views were also added to by a large number of emails that were sent to the club over the last 24 hours from our wider supporter base. To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, 'Let us never compromise out of fear, but let us never fear to compromise.'"
Cardiff will wear blue at home to Fulham when they go head to head in the Championship on Saturday.
