Gazzas_Flute 11 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 If this is true hopefully Tennents will come out with something a bit more creative than a giant red T. The Old Firm stretch further afield than the SPL so may want to do something more noticeable to those out of Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamteuchter 1 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Tennents lager is all i drink,so this is good news.. No way!!! It smells like a junkies fart How do you know what junkies farts smell like? eau de Central Station Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianBacon 2,088 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Tennents is rank rotten to drink, the red T looks rank rotten on our strips. I'm all for the change to Adidas as our shirt manufacturers but Tennent as a sponsor, i'd rather not. I'd like to see us sponsored by a global brand. I'm sure Alastair Johnstone can have a word with one of his old buddies at IMG. They've got their fingers in a few global brans like Vodafone and MTV. We want something thats recognisable to people all over the world. I think Tennents would only be recognisable to Scottish people all over the world. Pretty much my sentiments exactly. The parochial thinking behind this move is stunning. "Oh, we're a Scottish club, we'd better go for a Scottish company name." Complete and utter pish! The world is full of global brand names that would love to be associated with a successful club like Rangers FC - holders of the title 'Most Championships Won'. We are undercutting ourselves here - we need to think large (as Ricki Fulton said in 'Local Hero') Bluster is great, sadly our board need to operate in the real world. What some call 'bluster' others call 'principals'. If we had any left we'd chase this beverage company down Edmiston Drive. For 'real world' read 'small world' - that's the thinking behind this small-minded venture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 It would be good to have a worldwide famous brand on our shirts, but these are tough times and the advertising budgets for most companies have been slashed, i would imagine they have all been sounded out and Tennents are offering the best deal. Falkirk Timber Products Would have been a decent shout but because theres too many letters the initials may cause some grief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

followfollow21 0 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Given that Tennents is owned by Magners, would it not make sense to have us with the Tennents on our tops, and the Scum to have Magners on theirs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true....hmmmm? Then maybe have both logos on Both teams tops, Home-Tennents, Away Magners etc.... And I'm sure they will just make a green or gold "T" for them.... oh well, we'll have to wait and see. Would be nice if we could get a big sponsor like JVC or Samsung...something worldwide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been sponsored by drink companies for the majority of the last twenty years i would imagine, is this a new objection on your front ? Drink and sport in Scotland, perversely go hand in hand. We don't have multi nationals beating down our door, especially in a year where every major player in the sponsiorship world have had their budgets slashed so tennants is probably the best deal we could do. It's a battle for survuval right now, it'snot the time for misplaced principals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I asked if you thought, with all the social problems that British society faces today, that a club of our standing should be advertising this muck on our jerseys? Personally I think its dirty money,and The Rangers are better than that, but then that's just my opinion. What you choose do to your liver is not my concern. Its all taxed anyway.
