Anchorman 85 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 These days when people are behind a common cause it gives them a lift to see other people behind that cause as they go about their daily life. Obviously a lot of people can't wear a Save Our Rangers badge in their work etc. But what about a little mettalic blue 6 star badge i.e our Club's very first badge, at say a fiver a pop going towards the club? Obviously it would need done properly so that people would be happy that the cash was going to the right place, but as a concept do you think it would catch on? I'm thick skinned so if you think it's shite then happy to hear any feedback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchorman 85 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I quite like it...even without the fundraising aspect.I agree about the fundraisng comment. Whether we end up 'New Co' or not I think this is the most defining moment in our Club's history and I think we should have a lasting discreet and sober emblem that future generations (and us, because we will never forget this time!) can look back on that proved the words of Mr Struth below were not just empty words:"Never fear, inevitably we shall have our years of failure, and when they arrive, we must reveal tolerance and sanity. No matter the days of anxiety that come our way, we shall emerge stronger because of the trials to be overcome. That has been the philosophy of the Rangers since the days of the gallant pioneers" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aye ready 1 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Once again great ideas like this from fellow bears that will only help our cause.I think like most of us that once we see the true picture of what is going on at our club and where we are heading, then ideas like this and other fundraising events will really kick in.I have no doubts that once we know where our intended heart earned donations will be best used then the funds will start flowing in and quickly put an end to this sorry mess and put us back where we belong ...ChampionsKeep believing ....In Ally we trust...........there's not a team like the Glasgow Rangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky_ 893 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 im all for it, love the badge.its at times liek these we need to look back at our original values as a club - and the blue star is symbolic of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchorman 85 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I see one vote in to say the idea is crap, which is fine, but a wee bit of constructive criticism would be welcome if you think that. Would it be too much to ask that if you disagree you say what is wrong with the idea in your mind and it may help to find an idea that we all are agreed on?

Ibrox_Nights 429 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Brilliant idea, think many would buy one and wear it with pride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxembourGer 3 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Being exiled to central Europe, I would be right up for something like this. Something that would let like-minded folk recognise each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer 124 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I like the idea, it would be good to get it pinned at the top of the page and to have a real go at it. Perhaps contact Rangers/the administrators and ask them how we can go about doing this in a way that Rangers will be able to use the money and avoid job cuts.

McBoyd 355 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Im no buying it unless I can get the long johns tooNah in all seriousness, i'd wear it on my coatWith prideAbsolutely, I would too. It may be a key part of the history of Rangers, or little more than the players wearing rowing tops for the 1877 photograph - but the significance of it now is special I believe.

pcbear 10,924 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Or maybe Umbro can rush out a special edition replica top,it would sell in many 1000s, job done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
offminorthreat 1,467 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have in the last few weeks added one of the round logo pins to a leather compendium i use for work meetings - i normally try to avoid any Rangers related things in a work setting (mainly because down under no one has any idea what it is all about) but have felt that in the last few weeks i needed to have a symbol of the club with me in public during the day. An enamel version of the blue star badge would be a perfect addition to this. Great idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac 1,405 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I like it. The Star has a sort of religious aspect to it,"The chosen ones". The tims will hate it. Two good reasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Mustard 380 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 jojo1975 and Johngreigsbaws don't like the idea.They should step forth and give their opinions on the matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BawdeepLoyal 94 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have contacted a supplier in China. I will let you know the costs for 5000 as a starter.Just the plain star or do we want it to look an embroidered badge, or with writing. it could be an official RM initiative.CheersBD Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then our designer can draw the artwork and make sample for you. We can give you accurate price as well according to your design and requirements".Once I have this I will ping it to another few in the same area and when my guys are there in the next few weeks they can spin by and see what the scoop is.Comments?
