Gazzas_Flute 11 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Was there not something a while back saying that Nike had bought over Umbro. It may not have been Nike, but I'm sure it was a big name company, just not sure who. BTW the JJB contract has still got years to run. I'm sure i was for 10 years at the start. WATP Yes Nike own Umbro. The Umbro brand will remain though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue11 13 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 guys dont want to put a dampener on things but i have herd from a jjb manager that the new shirt is to be made by Champion the same as Wigan, and the new N.I top will be the same. Apparently this is a compant closly associated with Dave Whelan Dave Whelan doesnt own JJB anymore though does he? But it is Umbro, got told in work the other day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaffabear 0 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I could see us having a very similar away strip to this I have a look at that website from time to time and thought that aswell. Was trying to find some of the new umbro kits, seeing as our top was relativley similar to the rest of the teams who wear umbro. Everton etc..

OrangeBurn 57 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Just wondered if anyone's seen the new Rangers strip. It's normally leaked out by now as they usually wear it at the S.C. final. Any pics?? WATP Has anyone heard if we are getting umbro kits next season, im sure at some point someone had said we were at the end of our agreement with them and they were looking for a new manufacture, doesnt bother me anyway, i would still buy all the rangers kits even if they were made by bloody goala haha. I would love to see us getting a big company like adidas back or something to increase our overseas exposure, the JJB/ Umbro setup angers me, other than JJB its very difficult to get a rangers home shirt let alone the strip/ other gear, this is an area that celtic are very good at which annoys me greatly as I would love our gear to be sold world over to try and premote our club abit better. You know what its like if your buying a footie top of a overseas team for kicking about in, firstly you dont buy anything thats a conflict to being a rangers supporter but secondly its unlikley that you would buy a Umbro kit, far more likley nike, adidas etc. Add that to the fact that you simply dont get Rangers gear anymore unless you go to the megastore or JJB even then the JJB at Silverburn has more Celtic junk than Rangers stuff! whats that all about, arent they suppost to be our offical retail partner, would it be too much to expect them to perhaps get a corner of there scottish stores as a Rangers Concession? Rangers Fixtures perhaps, our badge above the gear? Just something to reconise the fact that they actually are our retail outlets? Come on JJB get it together, even Debinhams had a full Celtic thing going on a while back with a Celtic kinda Stand with the gear on it, there logo all down it! Come on we all support rangers and are loyal to them but we canny attract enough new fans, celtic have been doing it for years and look how many tim tops you see when they are doing well, granted they aint real fans but its still great to walk down the street and see loadsa folk wear your team latest shirt! Perhaps a company like adidas could put presure on JJB to actually start selling our merchandise through other channels than themselves and perhaps actually make it look like your in rangers retailing partners store instead of being confronted with the latest tic gear and a few supersize unsold rangers tops hanging on the end of a rail. I never read all of that, but it is 100% Still Umbro. I contacted them. they wouldnt tell a random person who contacted them if they have lost the contract to someone else. Who did you speak to? The receptionist?? They haven't lost their contract! They have been bought over, but the Umbro badge remains. I posted the email last week sometime. Go look for it.

fiddyp 15 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Highly unlikely to be canterbury as the uk distributors have just gone into administration meaning problems for the hundreds of amatuer and professional clubs who are provided by canterbury of new zealand. The Nike rumour fits in nicely along with the rumour of the fly emirates sponsorship deal as all 4 teams (Arsenal, PSG, Atletico Madrid and Rangers) would be rumoured to have nike and fly emirates on the shirts come the tournament....Arsenal and PSG already have both and Atletico Madrid who already have nike as supplier are rumoured to be sponsored by fly emirates next season...one for the conspiracy theorists!!!!

Aye the puma ones nice, I think Rangers should bring out a top voted the best rangers top ever by us the fans. and revamp it. what u think. what you mean, like ask the fans to vote for their favourite and produce it for next season or as a 3rd strip? maybe, yeah, i would go with that. youve showed me that puma one and i cant stop thinking about seeing Rangers in Puma, that would be class. Adidas is the best but Puma is top drawer too really nice apparell. my favourite top was the orange and blue adidas stripey one, that was a belter. or the purple adidas top, european strip. favourite home/blue one was the hateley adidas one with adidas on the neck and 3 rings on the sleeves. Adidas and Rangers........ah, those were the days, when we were a class team and we looked class too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose 4,332 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If Rangers want to make a lot of money this season they should bring back the orange kit, it was one of the best selling tops ever, another idea i'm quite fond of is drawing up three different kits and allowing the fans to vote for which one they'd like to see next season. Probally too late for that however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigRFC 1 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The only problem I've got with Adidas at the moment is that the Adidas logo is in the middle. Think it looks pish. Same when we had the Umbro logo away up in the corner. I think strips look better when the logo is on line with the emblem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
