Dickie 12,905 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Don’t have a problem with Hummel. We are no longer a major draw for these companies i.e. Nike,Adidas ect. We have not won a top trophy for years and have been out of champions league for longer than I can remember so big sportswear companies are not going to be kicking our door down. We are also now competing with a successful Northern Ireland team who are selling replica tops in huge numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Words can barely describe the level of excitement at our Head Office this morning when we announced this fantastic new partnership to our International staff.” “At Hummel we pride ourselves in doing things a little differently by adding that extra twist and a bit of character to all that we do. Over the next 3 years we will endeavor to provide the players, staff and most importantly the supporters of this great club with an exceptional range of products both on and off the field and we look forward to joining you on your journey back to the top of the league.” Only 5 years old and one of the oldest clubs in the world?

We are also now competing with a successful Northern Ireland team who are selling replica tops in huge numbers. But we should be a major draw for companies . Surely the potential of sales would be the most significant issue ? I'm not sure of the figures , but I'm sure it was only a few years ago we were one of the top sellers of tops . That's how we should be 'selling' it to these companies , as all they're interested in is sales and profits . Call it the old cynic in me but I suspect we just couldn't be arsed and accepted the first offer to come along . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hummel it is then. The arrows could become a bit unfortunate if the strip design starts to create the impression of being some sort of US prison-like wear. I don't really like Hummels designs but hey ho I can only assume they put in the best bid and we'll have to live with whatever designs they come up with. Hummel is German for bumblebee I think. Kind of suits Murty's current sides........floats like a bumblebee but stings like a butterfly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jintybear 8,535 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Bears r us said: I have no problem with Hummel making our top and kit as long as it is the best deal and it will maybe be a little different which could be a nice change. I do wonder why we had the first leaks saying it was £10M over three years and now this 2 to 3 time what the last Puma deal was, it is a little confusing, maybe it was done like that to confuse us mere fans. I assume the superstore at Ibrox comes back to Rangers at the end of the season after the SD deal ends ? Will Rangers staff it and run it ourselves once that happens or will we do a deal with another company to run it ? Also I wonder what other outlets will stock our tops ? Totally agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Blue 9,282 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Rangers Managing Director, Stewart Robertson commented: “We are delighted to announce that our new kit supplier from next season will be Hummel and we are sure the fans will love the design of the new shirts featuring the famous Hummel chevrons for the first time. Given how completely out of touch with fans, and in reality in general, the board actually are....fuck knows what we're going to end up with. What a laugh this shit show is....NOT!

Ross-Gazza genius 1,890 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 All that matters is the money on the table and we as a support will buy it to help the club. If you're honestly saying you won't buy coz hummel is the sponsor then please fuck off coz you can't support our mighty fine club. Stop being so self-absorbed and think of the club, you support a footballing giant with the best supporters in the world not the best dressed!!
