Shane 338 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Shane from the Greater Smoky Mountain RSC here. I'm the man behind Rags for Rangers, a graphic designer and print/apparel broker by trade and lifelong Rangers supporter.I was originally attempting to launch RforR as an initiative with the RSTs support, but there were reservations about our location and, of course, the very successful Red&Black campaign for them to consider. There were also reservations on our end in regards to a partnership, and, ultimately, with the advent of the RFFF we were more than happy to drop that pursuit in favor of the latter. So I've stuck it out on my own, a few days later than I hoped but it is live and running.The ordering system embedded in the site only allows for individual orders at the moment, but we're working on that. If you're outside the US and are interested, here are some details about international shipping and ordering options.Rags for Rangers is generating over $8.50 a shirt for the RFFF and RCF. We're also on the brink of announcing an exclusive partnership with an MLS supporters' group where funds will be split between the two, allowing us to latch into a new group of football fans that the existing initiatives would not have access to. You can probably venture a guess based off the shirts available who that club might be.We'll be bringing more items in as we go along, and we plan on continuing this program well after we're back on our collective feet. So go take a look, you might find something you like.Best,Shane Nicholson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane 338 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Pretty sure i see an MLS team with Green and Yellow colours alluded to on the website there!!Aye, managed by John Spencer and with a supporters' group with strong ties to Rangers. I'll quote the same email from the thread that got a little out of hand earlier, from a Timbers Army/107ist director:The Timbers Army was originally named "Cascade Rangers" but changed the name to avoid picking sides between Celtic and Rangers (especially since early on we had some years where the kit was green hoops!). So the SG name was changed to Timbers Army, but there's a nod to the old Cascade Rangers name in the Timbers Army crest, where you can still see a small "CR" for Cascade Rangers.Colors aren't everything, especially if it can help both parties.*That said, I don't wear anything green under any circumstances.

Shane 338 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Well in, have to admit my knowledge of the MLS is low I'm sure most MLS fans knowledge of MLS is fairly low , but these Timbers Army folks are pretty solid people. I'm glad we're getting the opportunity to work together for some good causes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
