SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Fly in the third kit with Bocanegra, Bedoya and Edu pre-printed on them.It's practically a US kit with a Rangers badge on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 83,317 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'll settle for a decent looking Rangers baseball cap, although the partying before games here is fun.Good luck finding one, we don't play baseball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Now now Sir Walter.I dont believe there is a market there apart from what is already there from NARSA. Signing American Nationals will have no impact on 99.99% of the population who quite frankly dont give a shit. Apart from selling a couple of hundred shirts we wont make much more.

.Williamson. 83,317 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I don't really like Yanks tbh. If they're willing to never actually come over to a game but instead just donate money and buy products, then it's ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstamomusa 3,811 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Good luck finding one, we don't play baseball.They do have them, and have done so for years. The one they have currently in the on-line store is white with pink, I would prefer a blue one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now it will be no one buying the shirt, they cant seem to get them over there, they can get the hoops top though, almost in any city you want.

disgruntled_bear 157 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 The thought has crossed my mind about the reasoning behind this mini American invasion at Rangers, no doubt we should be able to get some sponsors on board. Maybe even a new investor interested in buying some shares.If we could set up some kind of football/soccer academy in the States, that would be a great start to get our feet firmly into the U.S market.Some on here are shouting about switching to Nike or Adidas, one brand that is big in America is Reebok and it's one we should seriously consider.

funnyoverlord 0 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Charlie Blackmouth doesnt speak Spanish? Are you sure?Pretty sure. After international matches Bocanegra is never really targeted by the Spanish-speaking reporters the way Donovan is. And after Donovan I would expect them to go for Bocanegra but instead they go for other guys on the squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you the first of many new American fans?Yeah, I've had this account since I was trying to find updates on Edu's recovery from his serious knee injury back in 09. I'm more of a reader than a poster, unless I can contribute something useful like this. Because it can be insulting to the guys who have been fans of the club their entire life to see fairweather fans come in all of the sudden.American fans will definitely keep an eye out on their guys. If they started selling shirts in the states I would probably get one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
