the Samsung Sponsor on it looks smart and kind of saves it.

The only logo on the front of a shirt I can think of that doesn't make the club look like hoors is Barca's.

Paying money to buy a shirt in support of your team makes sense - you do know you can get the shirts free of the scabby carling logo, yes?

Yeah I always buy my beloved Rangers shirt but since it's had Carling splashed across the chest I've bought it without the Sponsor, however I do feel sorry for the 11 lads that need to put it on every match day. I miss the old CRSMITH and McEwan's Lager days when the shirt was nothing but the beautiful colours of red white and blue.

as far as i was aware when i worked for Original Shoe (owned by JJB) that Rangers will not be Umbro this year hence the lack of anything new being brought out. And thats also why they bootlegged anything Rangers at about 75% off around January !!!! When they launch the new brand, they need to get rid of all the old branded stuff as they wont advertise stuff that aint current against a totally new branded jersey and equipment.

when Umbro was on the verge of going out of the game, it ceased to re-new major contracts which were about to expire to safeguard during takeover negotiations. Umbro's contract was in its final year with Rangers while negotiations with Nike, JJB and Mike Ashley took place. All saw in favour of a Nike takeover and there you go, Umbro took it up and have new owners.

As far as Rangers were concerened, a new kit maker was sought and the rumours I heard from the boys at work was that Puma were heavily interested. Haven't heard anything concrete since.

Might not be correct but I'm not speculating, its company info. The Champion rumour is very disturbing though, as JJB is its European distributer and own the rights to brand it in the UK, we all know JJB owns Rangers merchandising so keeping costs in house would be very influencial to a struggling JJB sports retailer knowing how big the Rangers fan base is and how many tops it will sell and make almost 100% profit on.
