Capital Blu 615 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 The Herald has now reported on the adverts being removed. http://m.heraldscotland.com/news/14694442.Rangers__remove__Puma_and_Sports_Direct_logos_from_website_in_wake_of_kit_sales_row/ Quote Rangers 'remove' Puma and Sports Direct logos from website in wake of kit sales row RANGERS appear to have removed Puma and Sports Direct logos from their list of Rangers partnerships in the wake of the row over the trading of the club's merchandise. Rangers' official website now just lists their commercial partners as online casino company 32Red.com, the club's official club sponsor and Coca Cola and Powerade, the official soft drinks. Previously Puma were listed as the official kit manufacturer and SportsDirect.com were mentioned as the official retail partner. And there have been changes too to the sponsor advertising boards for Mark Warburton's weekly press conference with Puma logos disappearing and the introduction of Club 1872 the amalgamation of several supporters organisations – including the Rangers Supporters Trust and Rangers First. It comes after sports kit firms defied Rangers by offering brand new for sale earlier this month at the start of the new football season. Rangers in May said it had withdrawn the exclusive licensing rights given to the Mike Ashley-controlled merchandising arm Rangers Retail to use the club's trademarks and it was believed that meant kit which contains the protected logos could not be sold. Rangers has previously threatened to ditch the controversial Puma strip released without their consent and replace it with a new kit midway through the season. Puma, who insist they have a legal right to sell and market the kit under the terms of their five-year kit deal with the club joined the likes of Mike Ashley's Sports Direct, JD Sports and Intersport to start selling the kit. Puma even distributed adverts for the sales featuring Rangers stars Martyn Waghorn, Wes Foderingham, Lee Wallace and Barrie McKay wearing the new kit to promote the sales. When the kit deal was announced in February, 2013, Rangers said it made the sportswear giant "the official supplier and licensee of replica merchandise for the club" in a deal that complimented Rangers Retail, which was set up under a previous Ibrox management. Fans group Sons of Struth again urged fans to boycott buying replica kit having long been concerned that the merchandise deal is said to make the club just 4p in every pound. But Puma said that after taking legal advice it was happy to sell, market and distribute the new kit. It distributed it's Forever Ready promotional material two weeks ago featuring Rangers stars to plug the release of the new club kit and some now appear on sales websites, including Sports Direct. It said it was releasing the kits into the market in "full compliance" with the sponsorship and licensing agreement it has with Rangers Retail. Rangers said Puma had manufactured some replica kit after receiving purchase orders directly from Sports Direct and "without the prior knowledge or agreement" of the club and its directors on the Rangers Retail board, Paul Murray and David King. The club added: "We are surprised and disappointed by the lack of consultation with the club and/or supporters groups prior to the launch." Rangers Retail was unveiled in 2012 as a joint venture between Rangers FC and Mike Ashley's Sports Direct by then chief executive Charles Green. Its aim was to enable Rangers "to once again control its retail operation and give supporters the chance to buy direct from the club and in doing so, continue to invest in its future". But the Ibrox board has voiced its displeasure about its return from the deal with Rangers Retail which held an exclusive licence to exploit the club's name and trademarks. The club has already triggered a seven-year notice period to terminate the contract. Rangers declined to comment. Puma and Sports Direct were approached for comment but did not respond.

pcbear 10,932 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Big story, is this a first or have any other clubs been involved in such a drama? If the figures quoted the other day about the revenue the club gets after all the slugs have taken their chunk the board need backed all the way.

Juniorsparkie 493 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 It really is amazing that these business people can torch an asset like Rangers with no comeback from shareholders. I presume the idea of both these companies is to make money ? Sports Direct has been turned into a vehicle to do this man's petty bidding and maybe Puma are innocent parties but AGMs are due questions should be asked.
