Only thing I've said was bollocks is the story about Ashley being a shareholder in Puma. I've no idea about any connection with SD/Hummel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite 15-million upfront, or even 4-million a year but still decent money - for us, where we are at, brand awareness, toxicity, success on the pitch - all the factors. Regarding the distributer question, call me stupid, but don't we need one? how can we do it ourselves? we don't have trucks, warehouses, logistics teams, transport offices? is it worth spending several millions setting all that up (and in an unworkable timeframe) just to save maybe 15% of kit sales (at a guess?)

It's a least worth a try, If only to find out why they started following Rangers on Twitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeeseeks 374 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I know a lot of folk aren't too happy with the possibility of the team being kitted out by Hummel but I could honestly see them churning out at least a couple of instant classics for us. At least on par with what Umbro produced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,890 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 No Orange tap next season due us having a Catholic manager but bring it out the season after as he’ll have been sacked. makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the entire supply network if you can get production sorted. It's a bit tacky but they have far greater footfall than high street sports retail and have all made big pushes into online recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude 20,026 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Call me a cynic...BUT an orange kit won't happen. Definitely sounds like a nice wee positive line to put out there after getting slaughtered from everybody for a couple of days. But nah...couldn't be.

Exactly and the best part is, everyone uses a supermarket at least once a week, sometimes most days depending on how busy you are and what your upto - so you've got 100% of the population captive on a weekly basis - whereas I can't remember the last time I was actually in a sports shop, if I was it was for a nosey to kill time or (and I know this sounds mental) to maybe see what I could buy online - I know that sounds fucked up.

It's common as fuck. Folk like seeing shit before they buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
