Editing Cardiff Rugby (section)

==Colours==
The traditional Cardiff colours of blue and black were modelled on the colours used by [[Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.cai.cam.ac.uk/news/caius-and-cardiff-extend-connection | title=Caius and Cardiff extend connection | date=30 September 2021 }}</ref> and remained in use by the team until 2006.

At that time, Cardiff Blues changed their playing strip in a decision widely interpreted as a move away from the old Cardiff RFC identity, as for the first time black was not included alongside the blue.

A variety of alternative colour designs have been used as change strips and for jerseys used in European rugby. A blue and gold jersey modelled on one worn by [[Aberdare RFC]] and created to raise money for the seriously injured Aberdare born Cardiff player [[Owen Williams (rugby union, born 1991)|Owen Williams]]<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.planetrugby.com/blues-new-kit-to-support-owen-williams-3/ | title=Blues' new kit to support Owen Williams | date=12 August 2015 }}</ref> proved popular and was worn in the 2018 [[European Challenge Cup]] final win in Bilbao.

Cardiff Rugby have now returned to their traditional colours of Cambridge blue and black, as of 2021.
