AndoBien 105 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 With the current brand you would find the shirt with some difficulty here, but now with the new manufacturer it would be impossible, i think i haven't seen anything hummel overhere, i could be wrong though.

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,867 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 16 hours ago, With Heart and Hand said: aye, regardless of the mentality behind it or who gets offended, its a colour we are the only club in history to be criticised over the colour of our tops. We should just go for it, it would sell, and with all the talk of lack of funds etc then its almost at the point that whoever makes this decision should be taken to task for not doing it and maximising our profits just because some pathetic scum are offended at part of the colour spectrum There's obviously an intrinsic link between the majority of our supporters and Orangism, but that doesn't mean the club has that same link. Wearing a Rangers scarf should say nothing about you other than the team you support. I find it bizarre that on the one hand you and others are arguing that it's just a colour and it's the "pathetic scum's" problem if they're offended by "part of the colour spectrum" when the sole reason you want an orange kit is not because it's a meaningless colour but because of everything it represents and so you can get it right up them. If it takes an orange top for any of our fans to make the decision to buy a top when they wouldn't ordinarily then there's something seriously wrong there.

Couldn't really care less, not when money is involved. Sure, it's a little sad and kinda pathetic that an orange strip would sell better than our traditional blue but wouldn't an initial boost in finances from shirt sales be a good thing? I'd love them to offer a limited edition (or similar) white kit with the blue star, I doubt many would buy it in the same numbers as an orange kit though.

I've not bought a top since the Umbro 3rd division one but if we done an orange one I'd be first in line regardless. An Orange Rangers top is iconic and you get the added pleasure that it fears a Catholic up like nothing else when they see one. Glorious. I hate fenians though, like I despise their existence.

Jakes Pal 5,574 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 As long as the kit is of a high standard of design and manufacture, I do not care why the company is. Give the Bears a quality product and we will buy. The Club needs to get the revenue back we lost to Fat Mike ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said on here before I’d love an away kit like this. You’re right that it probably wouldn’t sell as well as an orange top though. Sad indictment of our support at the moment that a kit designed to annoy the smellies would sell better than one celebrating our founders. I actually think the majority wouldn’t even get the significance of the white kit/blue star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
