Fans' View - New kit sponsor and manufacturer

[bears fan 259]

voted yes to both.

new sponsorship and new kit for the start of the new division on our way back to where we belong.

[bazman 19]

This is the fans work and well done, because sponsors are looking at the club and the the record crowds we are bringing in, the media attention good and bad ,they are waking up to the massive potential. they are also looking across the city and seeing the empty seats, i only hope liewell remains in charge and continues to feed the scum what they want to hear for the winds of change are sweeping through our nation, come on juve humiliate them.

I think they will be

Puma designs are pretty nice and the sponsor is ascetically designed so if they don't over complicate the design then we should be fine

Blue with small splash of white and red, job done.

As long as they don't make it one of they skin tight numbers.....

I'm not overly impressed by the announcement that puma will be our new kit sponsor. I would have preferred Adidas or even Nike by a mile and I had thought that Adidas was nearly a done deal. Not to worry though its been a good week (apart from the score so far). We need an out to out goal scorer.

I voted yes to both. Puma are a world wide brand & their kits look good. Not too bothered about Blackthorn as the sponsor, as long as it's the best deal for the club.

[Non_Sucumbi 876]

Puma had some of the best kit on display at the 2010 world cup so pretty happy there

Blackthorn --- change of name but same company C&C owns both B'thorn and Tennents.

[Ace 3,556]

Yes to Puma (not pronounced Pooma btw !!), they are a large manufacturer, have a huge market base across Europe & America, not so big in UK, possibly viewed as cheap due to association with Sports Direct.

Yes to Blackthorn too, the deal is only for a year so as we move through bathe leagues we can maximise our brand power to increase value.

Blackthorn is not the most prestigious sponsor but it will be good money and also it gives us an alternative Cider (if you wanted one).

Charles Green has kept every single promise and should have a statue erected if he maintains this. In Charles we trust.

Are you happy with Puma being the new kit manufacturer? Why / why not?

1. If Puma was good enough for Pele and Maradona it's fine and dandy with me.

2. I'd rather we renamed the stadium and had no sponsors pish on the shirts. However, it's there now, but I'd still rather we weren't promoting bevvy.

Fuck that shit, Either we are Rangers or we are not...Fuck have anything to do with child abusers. Dirty tim bassa's

[Gman36 3,456]

Yes! I love puma gear its great. For me puma is the trendiest of all the sports brands. Also as well they do ferrari and red bull f1 gear so all in all puts us in with some high value brands! Much better than diadora or in fact umbro. They have trendy high street stores which will hopefully carry some of our gear.

Was annoying me that selliks got their own stores AND had prominent displays in the nike store on buchanan st. Would be nice if the puma store on buchanan.st had something similar for us.

blackthorn im less bothered about, we could be sponsored by pretty much any company as long as they're the highest bidder.

[RANGERST1LLADIE 33]

I like the brand puma, don't drink blackthorn right enough but the sponsor looks good on the top.

Wee bit of Blackthorn history

The year was 1972 and a crack team of West Country master cider makers were tasked with making a new West Country cider to beat all others. After months of blending, Blackthorn® cider was born. The West Country know their cider, and The West Country liked it.

Word quickly spread and Blackthorn® rapidly grew to become one of Britain's most popular ciders and one that remains true to its West County roots.

Obviously inspired by Rangers victorious triumph of Europe they decided tae make britians best cider!!

Puma kit is stylish IMO. It's a good choice.

[BlueGuitar 37]

[mick1271 521]

puma are a quality brand , i would have prefered nike or adidas but i am happy with puma .undecided about blackthorn (being a strongbow drinker ) but its only a 1 year deal ,so no big problem with them really .
