The Specky Forum Organiser 64,530 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 'With our appointed brand protection partners and in close cooperation with Castore, Rangers will apply a zero-tolerance approach to breaches of our IP and take all necessary legal measures, including removing club privileges and tickets where required.' Think that's a bit worrying tbh. Every RSC in the country will have merchandise with Rangers IP on it. That's not done to rip Rangers off in any way. Same with custom made 55 flags etc. By all means go after the guys outside Ibrox and fake Turkey tops. Also a bit shite if they go after EOS and Copland Streetwear. There's a demand for that sort of thing amongst the support and Rangers don't produce that sort of thing for fans to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see why the club is doing this and I’m all for protecting our brand when it comes to fake Chinese versions of the current kits etc but they do risk taking it too far and going after the wrong people as you said With people like Copland Streetwear I can’t any reason see why the club can’t make a deal with them to take a cut if it isn’t something the club want to be selling themselves as like you said there’s a market for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not actually sure that Lion Brand shit would fall under it. Its aimed at Rangers fans obviously, but did they not have their own logo and didnt really use any Rangers IP if I remember correctly. Is it even still going after we got shot of Ashley? No doubt some cunt would want to make some cash off the blue pound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd get out of it saying it doesn't use official badges and logos but come on to fuck, it's clearly associated to the club and its history. There are companies making fire pits with the badge on them, are the club going to issue cease and desist orders to them but let lion brand keep taking the piss?

I agree with you, but IP shit is messy. It should be cut and shut, but they have been sly enough to not actually reference anything directly related to Rangers.

ElBufalo20 7,890 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I get the fake strips and Castore stuff the club should be clamping down on that. However other people that use our badge make some nice stuff. People buy it not to deny the club money but because they’ve seen a product they like. Surely it’s a good thing exposing the club badge then people might be tempted to go on the official site to buy stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,522 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Brand protection should also involve not devaluing it yourself. Like, you know, not putting cheap transfers on a £5 school jumper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 if they want real brand protection they should maybe look at some of the people they've brought into the club. Particularly those with the initials CH or GM. hiring a blazer chaser who runs around with a rat mask on and acts the cunt to a wee teenage lassie just trying to do her job in a sports shop for some paparazzi pics is more detrimental to the brand than some cunt in turkey selling a shite top that only a clown would buy.

"Along with the general dissatisfaction we felt when meeting with the SLO, we now have the situation where his father in recent days, has been posting on the Louden Bar Facebook page requesting members for a new supporters club he has set up, he outlined his idea that if he could get around 2000 people signed up to the CCS, even if they had no intention of attending away games this would allow him to get access to cat +a ticket allocations, as a sweetener for signing up he would also give preferential access to events being held in the bar."

Does this mean you buy their shite and they buy scratchcards and play lotto to try and win more money for themselves? or do they donate it directly to Rangers Youth? they should have worded this better.
