Kit Manufacturer 2020/2021

[RobbieRFC]

Adidas might have a problem with that?

buying a template kit with there brand on and then selling it on for more money probably breaches copyright... I'm not sure

we would also have to pay someone to put the badges and sponsor on as well

The kit photo was more of a concept generic strip rather than Adidas. It could be any strip.
That’s the beauty of my idea, Rangers wouldn’t buy then sell the strip they would only sell the badge to be applied. You pop into Greaves, buy the generic strip then “oh I’d like a rangers badge for that as well please”. Sponsors logo I hadn’t considered but better minds then mine could figure a way round that.

 

[Syme]

This goes all the way back to that rat Green signing a one sided deal that gave fatty all the cards. Probably had a back hander in there somewhere to keep Green sweet

Was our current board who signed the new contract mate

 

[Enclosure Blue]

Macron aren’t in the same league as Adidas or Nike. You’re kidding yourself on if you think otherwise

1. I never suggested they were.
2. Given they managed to get a 3 year UEFA contract off of Adidas, would tell me they aren't as micky mouse as some people on here would believe.

 

[GummyBear]

The 98 Rangers adidas top is the nicest Rangers top ever made.
If they make our strips they would give us a fortune too, i think we have more problems than caring who make their shirts.

98? Adidas? You've got your years mixed up mate.

 

[londonbluenose]

Honestly mate, a kit brand is so far down my list of priorities. As long as the strip is the famous colours, I couldn't give a monkeys. Adidas or Nike wont win us a trophy.

Fair point.

 

[UpperCanadianLoyal]

I fear a return to Puma under a SD matching clause.

 

[GummyBear]

Celtic if they get the Adidas deals over the line will be doing template tops next season. It’s too late for mass production of bespoke styles.

Their deal with Adidas has been signed for a while now, just awaiting official announcement

 

[Poggers]

We will be lucky to get someone like Joma.

Adidas, NB, Nike, Umbro, these are all fantasy. Our brand is toxic to them.

Its beyond wishful thinking to imagine any of those would answer a come and bid plea from twitter

Are folk rushinh out to buy replica referee kits?

Rangers fans not happy as rumours of new kit deal emerge

Rangers fans on Twitter are not happy after rumours that Macron would make the club's next kit swept social media this afternoon.

"The rumour appears to have come out of nowhere – likely in response to reports Celtic are set to link up with Adidas – and the early response from Gers fans is far from positive".

or maybe from this thread???

Yeah, to coin (oops) an Andy Warhol phrase "social media will eat itself"

I heard it was Reebok...

lets see if that makes it on to twitter???

 

[Renfrew@UKGB&NI]

Let's be honest. Nike and Adidas have brought out some howlers. I seen one of man cities tops on tv last week and it was bordering on criminality.

people seem to complain about Nike and Adidas tops all the time

 

[Valley Bluenose]

Its beyond wishful thinking to imagine any of those would answer a come and bid plea from twitter

I saw that more as the Club getting it out there to fans that they were still trying to break the Fat C*nts stranglehold (given the Court injunctions stop them talking specifically about either the SDI deal or the Elite deal).

Bit naive of anyone to think the likes of Adidas and Nike are watching out for Twitter feeds from organisations trying to elicit bids. Sometimes you have to look a bit deeper than the obvious.

No idea, none the less, I'm sure it's not a contract Adidas were happy about losing.

I think the majority of Nike and Adidas kits are howling. Nike in particular.

Release a statement on the clubs website then

Don't invite bids on social media,its embarrassing

 

[Mosesmcneil]

SD have the right to match any Kit contract we enter into.

Does that mean that we could have granted both SD and Hummel distribution rights but they wouldn't be likely to share? Surely this agreement cant be seen to be in the interests of our club?

I agree, that was blatantly the club letting us know what's going on as best they could

 

[contiva]

Announce Bukta.

Gola??

Mate, why are you almost revelling in the fact that fans are unhappy with something all over this thread?

You might not care about it but almost everyone else does.

The Man City tops made by Puma?

 

[Kingdom Bear]

See if it’s the best deal, they are actually going to deal with club & look after us

Who gives a shit?

IF it’s true

Same was said of Hummel .... i just don't trust our board to get us a nice 'clean' deal when i comes to our kit....

oh cheer up ffs


im laughing because people are pissing themselves about a rumour started on here!

social media creating its own hysteria ffs

 

[StirlingBear]

Anyone else think the club already have something sorted? The statement they released last month seemed a bit 'over confident' It kind of gave off the vibe we have a fair idea whats going to happen next year already and the press release was a bit of a box ticking exercise.

James Bisgrove, our commercial guy, I guessing he was tasked with finding a new deal for next season. Can only hope he has some good contacts in the sportswear business.

I genuinely hope you are right.. but what would stop us announcing it now? everyone knows we are not with Hummel next season so it stands to reason that, if the club already had a deal, why would they keep quiet about it?

 

[applebear1976]

i know lol

shhh Necro will get upset...

Given his former role within the marketing arm of UEFA, it's almost a given.

 

[Renfrew@UKGB&NI]

I

The Man City tops made by Puma?

Thought it was nike. Still a criminal act in my opinion.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

In all seriousness I'd see us ending up with Kappa

At this moment in time I would bite your hand off for Kappa. Had the Italy kappa top years ago and it was quality.

 

[Cuparman]

Aberdeen, Hamilton and Kilmarnock don’t get supplies directly by Nike. It goes through a reseller of sorts. Rangers and Celtic deal with Nike and get a completely different deal.

Rangers shouldn’t be wearing Macron kits.

I agree, Simple things like kit manufacturer are important to the image of the club. Surely we want to be associated with quality brands, the likes of Macron reek of mediocrity.

 

[GummyBear]

Mate, why are you almost revelling in the fact that fans are unhappy with something all over this thread?

I think it's more of the fact that the fallacy of Macron started from this thread and twitter's having a riddy

Silver Shadow Loyal

The dad shoe to end all dad shoes. Drainpipe jeans and a lawnmower to complete the look.

 

[Strathblane Bear]

I had the man city tops as well and they were class

 

[Thor]

Sums up the club right now if we end up Marcon.
Red neck man!!

 

[Jimmy Mac]

What happens mid way through a deal can’t be anticipated otherwise no business would ever get done in all fairness!

Have we still not been paid by elite?

 

[Bouncebackability]

Overall, 30 different brands supply the 202 kits for teams in the top divisions of Europe’s five biggest footballing nations.

 

[Copeland road]

For me it’s down to profits
Not too bothered about brand

The macron rugby gear is top class
Glasgow warriors stuff is quality

 

[Diego Maradona]

It’s hugely inconsistent in terms of sizing. They’re poor.

 

[Belfastblue85]

Il not be buying much then!

 

[KL2]

If Kappa was possible, I'd absolutely love that.

Their Italy kits are some of the best ever made, they are a good brand and I still prefer being important to a brand as opposed to just another team.

 

[mcbeath1872]

I heard it was Reebok...

Due to their association with CrossFit (wildly popular these days, but not something I'd personally recommend), Reebok are cool again.

Ultimately, it's about the quality of the deal though.

 

[RFC_Champions]

Is there anything going well at our club right now?

As teams are throwing out teasers of their new kits - we’ve not even got a manufacturer!

Will be another year of kids getting Halloween costumes on their backs before they get our new kits on the backs!

One shambles after another!

 

[dougiem]

hope it's nike they made our best tops EVER IMO.

 

[bud_light]

I remember there was talk of us having to serve a 7 year notice period with SD.If we had went down that road does anyone know at what point we would be at now?

 

[Cutty/Young]

We'll be in a position next season where we will be wearing strips supplied by a company who are no longer our shirt sponsor. Even if someone came in now there wouldn't be enough time to design and get them on the shelves by new season time.

I have no idea who would be interested given all the shite with Ashley still being involved and knowing any new company showing their hand would just be going through all the same stuff we're going through with Ashley, any of the big two show interest and Ashley isn't matching anything.

Quite incredible to think a club of our size, our history,known worldwide and with a massive worldwide support, we have to revert to advertising for a new shirt sponsor when company's should be queuing up wanting to be involved, that's how toxic our brand is and all thanks to Ashley.
