No Orange shirt

[legalbeagle 3,734]

Was it not the Stuttgart chairman that couldnt understand why Rangers are frowned upon for celebrating their Protestant history? As they do it in Germany without any problems.

We are the majority in this country yet treated like a minority.

Firstly, religious denominational majority is debatable, the churches are hardly packed out. Secondly, Protestant does not equal orange.

Anyone remember the Orange top we had with that Chinese club?

Yes quality. I still have it.

[thegummy 4,472]

None of the frowned upon songs are actually about God or Jesus.

[4everGers 82]

Sadly no Orange shirt even black & orange would have been good

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

The away top and black top wont reach half the amount of sales orange top would

[tbblue 167]

Good. We want history and tradition to be maintained and respected so why would we have an Orange top?

so we should have a hoops top as a kit then?

[FernandoR20 2,133]

Should we be outraged? It's a shame they didnt do it.

The money we could have made on a 3rd top Orange over Black is unreal. Kit would have sold out!

Dunno whether to laugh or cry at that.

I like the orange top but it certainly isn't anything to be 'outraged' over.

With no football we are scraping the barrel of things to be outraged at.

Here it shows times are moving on the clubs still going so we can moan again about small things

Buy an orange top from primark and wash it with the white top.....hey presto new orange top

We should all make a point of doing this

That's an outragous statment!!!

Umbro could have gave us this with purple instead of black:

Can't be fucked with an orange top. I'd rather see something red or white, one of our three actual colours

Black for 3rd change will usually rock my boat, sucker for black strips

[The Dude 20,026]

No. Why would we? We wore a hooped shirt for a handful of seasons 120 years ago or so. I'm talking about maintaining traditions the club have continued with few interruptions over 141 years of history.

[thegummy 4,472]

Tradition is a silly reason to do anything. Almost everyone who believes in doing something for tradition picks an arbitrary point in history to start from and ignores what happened before that.

The red bits on the black top could have been orange.

Tradition is a good reason to do some things. It gives a sense of belonging and togetherness.

However, the idea that something 'is traditional' is used to justify things that shouldn't be done any more. The word is abused.

Whale hunting and female genital mutilation being justified as traditional are examples outside of football.

I understand your point, and it is a good point, but it's basically self-delusion.

[Inigo 32,534]

I understand your point, and it is a good point, but it's basically self-delusion.

I think saying it's self delusion denies what we are. Humans are tribal, it's ingrained in us that to survive we need to band together. Tradition helps this. It isn't delusion so much as a social glue. A good thing, most of the time in my opinion.

[thegummy 4,472]

Aye we all have an instinct to belong to a group and this is the main reason behind a lot of our behaviours. We probably even have instincts to specifically follow traditions and a long time ago that was beneficial as it was the only way to pass on knowledge beneficial to survival.

But these days we have a lot better ways to learn about survival. The desire to follow traditions might still be there but the desire to belong to a group can be met in more productive ways than by following traditions that we know aren't genuinely beneficial or logical. It is basically tricking your mind into being satisfied. I think that, even though doing this might make you happy, the same desires could be met by doing things for more practical reasons.

I agree, bin the bad traditions keep the good ones.

But it's not tricking the mind. It's working with it. Traditions do satisfy, but I don't see anything wrong with that.

It's like Sexual desire. We are what we are. We must take that, marry it with human logic and keep the good traditions whilst recognising them as that, and only that. They are not, as you suggest, fundamental to our existence any more. They are just nice things to have.

The tangerine/orange top was an excellent tribute to the Dutch players we had in our squad and DA as manager. A number of people took offence and implied that it as stood for something else, that said more about them than it did about Rangers. The sad thing is that there's an element of our support who have made the same mistake.

SDM was not the sort of character to push the orange angle and from memory I don't think there were any more orange rally's held within Ibrox after his arrival at the club. Having said that these may have stopped before his arrival.

Personally I always thought the tangerine/orange top looked cheap.

Never get away with Wearing them.

You would get arrested for offending the eternally offended.
