In defense to the Cardiff City owner, he didn't just change the team colors to red because "it is his favorite color". It's also because, in his culture, the color red and the dragon symbolize good fortune/prosperous future. That said, horrible choice.

Now many may not know about this one since it’s outside of Europe, but if anyone wants to take a look at the New England Revolution’s horrible rebrand, it’s worth it. Sure their old logo didn’t suit the simplistic style used in Europe, but it was perfect for the MLS.
Leeds gotta be the worst. Thought Juves would be bad though aging ok. And remember Cardiffs though never really noticed so was pretty clean though to change from blue to red 😅
Wimbledon created a new club but mk dons took all the trophy's and Wimbledon said we won all those trophy's give them back ... All the trophys was returned to merton council who loaned them to Wimbledon in 2007 Wimbledon initially ignored the overtures of Winkelman, who also approached Luton and Charlton Athletic about fulfilling his dream of building a Football League stadium in Milton Keynes.
God I remember being so excited about us (Leeds) rebranding our badge, we have had some great badges in the past so I was super hyper. And then they showed us that monstrosity....
for the Leeds one, we actually changed it a month or two later! it changed to the 100 year one and if you saw the celebrations most had the 100 year badge
I'm a Leeds fan and the proposed new badge was awful but saying that I don't even like the current badge, I prefer the previous one, which was much classier.
I think no matter how good a rebrand is, you shouldn't do it, because fans are already in love with the original. 90% of the time when a club gets a new logo or makes a very different kit, it looks better than the original, but still, the fans won't like it because the original represents the history of the club.
.....apart from the fact that prepared hasn't appeared on our shirts since then. Sentence makes no sense they spent 80k to remove it and didn't even use it, they removed it so it can't be used duhhh
Actually Cardiff City didn't change colours because that was the owner's favourite but instead because they wanted to reach a global projection, identifying Cardiff City as the First Welsh Football Team. Indeed Red is the colour of the Welsh National Team. Infact they also made the Welsh Dragon very prominent
The Dons bit makes no sense though. The dons bit of the name comes from their previous location WimbleDON. Now they're in Milton Keynes it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Now Milton Keynes is a city I'd like to see them change their name to MK City.
Cardiff City didn't get their colour changed bcoz red was the new owners favourite colour. It was bcoz the owner is South Korean, and in Korea, red is seen as a lucky colour
Former Barca board wanted to change the club’s logo as well in 2018 and even made merch for the new proposed one but since Barca is a 100% fan owned club the owning fans voted against it and it was scrapped
Columbus Crew is another one that could be on here. They changed their badge - which was superior to their current one - and tried to change the name to "Columbus FC". Fans were so angry they didn't change the name.
How u gonna change a teams colours because you like it more😭
As a man United fan I'm not surprised 😅
Owners are shite
Yeah like wtf💀
Think it was because Malaysian owners chose it as red denotes success and good luck, not because "my favourite colour"
Red is a lucky colour in Chinese culture. That's why Chinese Malaysian millionaire, Vincent Tan changed it when he bought Cardiff.
I think it was more about engaging the Oriental market
Still cant believe they changed that amazing swansea badge for a swan
fr now it just looks a bit worse
As a Swansea fan, I'm so happy they've listened to the fans and changed it back this year
Agree

They should call them "rot stier" as technically that's not the name of redbull as it's trademark is the English spelling.

Didn't they play each other a dozen times already in League One and FA Cup?
We were the league above them at some point
Hear hear!!
There’s only one correct answer AFC WIMBLEDONNNNN
MK dons just beat them 3-1...
Aston Villa Made a HUGE change from the badge
*Just removed a word*
They've changed their badge again. Now they have a new one which iooks similar to Chelsea's badge!

Aston villa used it that season but I think it might be going through a rebrand as well because it is used up until the 2022-23 season
Yeah we're having a "new" logo cuz it's one of our old ones
With Cardiff the owner also threatened to exterminate the gk contract because he scored no goals
Did he actually? I'm a cardiff fan and I didn't know that 😂😂😂

Athletico-PR from Brazil also made a controversial change in 2018. Many people did not like their new badge.

Been a few in MLS. The Chicago fire one was horrendous
@@Ccccc-mi3tr That one too, totally forgot about that one.
Imagine if that guy who was in charge of Cardiff City went to Man City or Chelsea instead, we would get Man United 2.0 or Red Chelsea.
Not even a leeds fan but that badge horrified me so much that i signed the petition
Juventus made the most terrible redesign
Thank you. Was looking for this comment
I'm gonna be honest, I like the new Juventus badge. The old one is definitely better, but the new one looks really nice on kits
I was expecting this to be in the video. Honestly, they should change it to something similar to the old ones.
Hull city tigers has got to be on here. Look how much the attendances dropped and the relegations that came after.
Leeds gotta be the worst. Thought Juves would be bad though aging ok. And remember Cardiffs though never really noticed so was pretty clean though to change from blue to red 😅
Leeds United potential logo looked liked a logo that you get when you search football logos for free
psg also changed their badge removing the cradle of st Germain for the fleur de lis that was pretty controversial
All I heard was..."If I have to come up those stairs one more time"
Cardiff city new badge actually looked damn good
Wimbledon/MK Dons and Markrandstadt/RB Leipzig should definitely be ahead of Cardiff. And Aston Villa 2016 shouldn't even be in this list
Cardiff are better than them all.
Leipzig shouldn't be there at all because it's not a rebrand.

My baseball nerd self trying to understand why Yankee Stadium is in the background:
Its about heritage even if it doesn't look good
Fun fact: the RB in RB Leipzig actually doesn't stand for Red Bull, rather it stands for RasenBallsport
No, it stands for red bull. The Rasenball nonsense is just to pretend not to break the rules. Nobody actually uses it.
I remember the Cardiff Red I thought it was cool at the time but I was 11-14 for it's duration 😂

Didn't included Juventus changing their logo into a J.
Villa are changing again this year to the 1980s one
The Everton rebrand of 2013 was a huge disaster
"Aston Villa made a HUGE change" POV the change: get rid of the word "prepared"
I remember the Cardiff City rebrand when it happened, watching it happen as a Swansea City fan it was HILARIOUS
Im pretty sure the Cardiff badge was changed to appeal to people in and around the new owners home country, and not for personal preference
.....apart from the fact that prepared hasn't appeared on our shirts since then. Sentence makes no sense they spent 80k to remove it and didn't even use it, they removed it so it can't be used duhhh
Cardiff old badge was elite
Aston Villa rebrand wasn't that bad TBH
The most disastrous rebrand has to be Cercle Brugge
The 2020 Chicago Fire rebrand needs to be discussed.
Aston Villa new badge is just the Chelsea badge
Actually Cardiff City didn't change colours because that was the owner's favourite but instead because they wanted to reach a global projection, identifying Cardiff City as the First Welsh Football Team.

Gotta admit MK Dons is a pretty cool name
The Dons bit makes no sense though. The dons bit of the name comes from their previous location WimbleDON. Now they're in Milton Keynes it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Now Milton Keynes is a city I'd like to see them change their name to MK City.
@@mr8I7 it's MK Dons because MK is their new location and Don is their old location.
That's my local club
It is cool that they still kept a little dragon on the Cardiff badge
The moment I saw you talking about Wimbledon I was watching a video about it long before and it shocked me. 😂😂
Im a cardiff fan, bro there was even protests about it, still have that kit somewhere
These were tamed compared to the Vancouver Canucks Flying V logo in 1979.
I’d say Barca and Madrid had the biggest Glo Ups on their crest 🔥
Iirc Everton also removed the "Nil Satis Nisi Optimum" from their logo some years ago and the fans hated it so they returned it shortly afterwards.
Cardiff City didn't get their colour changed bcoz red was the new owners favourite colour. It was bcoz the owner is South Korean, and in Korea, red is seen as a lucky colour
He’s not Korean he’s Chinese Malaysian and in Asia Red is considered good fortune
Juventes was crazy 😧
Atlético Madrid's fans made the club change to the old one after a few years
Markranstädt was 5th tier
Gamba Osaka should be on the list
The Cardiff one always confused me
That Leeds badge idea was an absolute disgrace
Bayern Munich to Bavaria will still never get onto me
Best part about the fc Wimbledon one was the fans left and founded their own club which has now gotten into the same division as mk dons😮
We were prepared (for the drop)
Aston villa did use their new badge💀
Should check out the Columbus Crew rebrand, when they left out the name Crew...
Leeds concept looks like what EA FC would replace a team they don't have the licence to
The Wimbledon one should be number one
I actually liked the Leeds salute badge back then
I’m not a Wimbledon fan but even I got pissy when MK was created.
Hull City AFC attempted rebrand was the worse
Yo bro I actually live in Milton Keynes 😂
I'm still not over losing my home team to Milton Keynes...
The dragon is still there 😂
As someone from Milton Keynes I can confirm that everyone hates MK Dons
It's actually impressive to come up with something more ugly than the old Leeds badge
Top 5 clubs in England with controversy
The Red Bull thing. It’s because you can’t have the name of a company in German football. So they had to change it to RB.
Honorable mention to Columbus SC
Leeds out here paying £££ for a badge that looks like a unlicensed FM team 😂😂
The worst rebranding ever was Juventus. The classic Juventus badge was elite and this new was with the Jj is disastrous.
Markranstadt was a 5th tier german club ;)
We just going to ignore Leeds paid a fortune for that rebrand and it turned out it was an internet stock photo
Fun Fact: The Leeds logo lasted around a few hours
Old Villa logo was decent, the new one just looks the same as loads of other new ones! A boring circle in the style of man city

The Cardiff one at least looked good. Definitely shouldn't have changed to red, but looked nice. The Leeds one just looked American and rubbish.
QPR fan here … amazed we didn’t make this list 😂
Here's an idea: want to redesign? Simply keep it in the same vision of what the badge already is. Just make it look better.
I rebrand Dulwich Hamlet into Real London in my FM save using create a club, empty all of their roster and start from scratch
