Merch Rangers fans record breaking response to kit launch and Ibrox store opening - 100,000 shirts already sold

[Gers1]

Well done everyone. 100,000 sold.......so far!

 

[Dave570]

I'm sure the castore guys said there will be an orange top not sure if that's the training top though

I will be honest and admit i have not bought a top for years but if we have a good orange strip I will be buying it. Well if they have large sizes.. Nothing to do with any Orange order but my links to Holland. Hopefully I will get a few Dutch buying it.

 

[Let’s Gio]

Any idea what the epl clubs sell?

imagine only Man U, City, Liverpool and poss Chelsea and Arsenal would be above that?

 

[bearspakora]

Who can recall some of those figures?

If I remember correctly, only Man United in the UK were slightly ahead of our shirt sales. It was Man United, us, then Liverpool.

 

[Border City Bear]

My only criticism, and I wont be moved on it, is the exorbitant price. Its not just us.... it football shirts all over. Drop them to say £40 and I reckon we'd sell many more. Bring it within the price range of more families. Plenty profit remaining.

i think the fact that so much stuff has been shifted already and is just the tip of the iceberg would suggest that the pricing is fine by most if not everyone , i work as a leisurewear technologist and trust me if the quality is as per the feedback on here then it is most def not overpriced

 

[Laudrup is God]

Just remember that supporting the club eg season ticket doesn't give anyone the right to hurl abuse at the team on the pitch. More and more posters are claiming we have several nutters who continually berate certain players.

The support through tickets and merchandising sales has been fantastic through all the dark years.
No one can argue with that.

We all have opinions but I can honestly say majority support the team we just all love a moan.

 

[buffaloskinners]

Have not bought the kits but spent over £230 on training gear .

Just checked out some websites and the numbers all seem made up and vary by millions.
One has Man U at 3.2 million, and another has them at 1.7million.
One has Man City at 1.2 million, which definitely is bollocks.
One has Arsenal at over a million as well, which I also think is bollocks.
I found Chelsea figures from 170,000 to 800,000, so seems like none of the websites know anything for sure, all just made up, probably to fit certain agendas for marketing purposes etc.

 

[GallowgateBlue]

thinking of taking Mrs B C B to the store tomorrow to give the bank card a wee workout........ is it ticket only or is it simply a case of turning up and waiting in the queue ?? im sure i seen a pic of an Orange training top - has it been released yet?

It's just turn up and wait your turn. I was in on Thursday, my younger brother bought the orange training top. It's really nice to be fair. Going by what's been said on the forum since then you might struggle to get a hold of one now. I wish I would have picked one up too.

 

[MearnsUnionist]

We actually used to be the biggest shirt seller in the UK.

Nowadays, with marketing of the EPL, it will be difficult to outsell Liverpool and Man Utd, but everyone else is definitely fair game.

 

[Graemelins]

Wow! I haven’t bought a shirt for years, but reckon I’ll pick up one of these. Feels like a ‘future classic’

The only reason I seem to remember Man United as slightly ahead of us in shirt sales was it being in the tabloids at the time, either the Rhebel or the Scottish Scum. They thought it was a GIRUY to us, even back then. As for today, the more shops that take our shirt, the more we will sell. We underestimate just how big our club is.

In the US you see Real, Barca, MU, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Chelsea all over the place. Rarely see ours or the yahoos as we are not on TV.

Cheers mate much obliged, still gonna have a run up anyways and see what I can buy. Going to Argyle House beginning of Sept with the other half so hopefully the orange training top will be restocked by then if I can't get one tomorrow

 

[top_cat]

100k shirts is fantastic. Considering how much the market has shifted to EPL etc.

 

[Leeonell Tidy]

Who’s up for camping out tonight ??

Can you insert the "Kenneth Williams" gif

 

[EssexRangers]

I spend about 4 months a year in the states and have never seen a Chelsea or Arsenal strip in 20 years there.
The bulk of the tops I see are South American, plenty of Spanish club tops and the occasional EPL top.
I saw loads of our tops on my last trip to Canada and 2 years ago on another trip to Vegas. Will see hundreds again next year on my next trip to Canada.

When I was in the Store on Thursday afternoon, that orange training top was the best seller, the staff had no time to put them on hangers so they just gave them out straight from the box.
The amount that was going through the tills when I was in was unreal, me and my lad spent the guts of £300 and that wasn’t found the £180 I paid for 3 tops in pre order.

Getting rid of that fat parasite really was a game changer

thanks to their sales in Asia.

 

[gersfanal]

What's the feedback on quality please ?

 

[gersfanal]

Double post sorry !

 

[Eighteen Seventy Two]

What's the feedback on quality please ?

The quality is outstanding.

 

[Clubdeckg]

Phenomenal effort

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

There's me away to declare bankruptcy cheers Rangers!

 

[Shamrock hand and crown]

In one week is absolutely unbelievable.

 

[Juanito2]

Everton sold 80k in a season so 100k very quickly is pretty unreal.

 

[blueismycolour]

Post came at 20.45 tonight. My son and I are very happy to be part of this equation.

 

[Originalmacc]

Managed to get a home top ordered tonight,only had long sleeve left but I don’t mind them so much.hopefully won’t take too long to arrive.got the parcel force option with tracking ability as Hermes ain’t so dependable in the highlands

In 41 years here I have seen huge numbers. Chelsea is a very popular jersey. You won't see too many Liverpool for some reason. The EPL is on TV here all the time and that is what sells their shirts.

Maybe just the same Chelsea guy in Reno that you see all the time !!

All over Los Angeles and San Francisco and not just tourists. Yet for some reason Liverpool are not popular. MU shirts are everywhere.

 

[Renoranger]

Forgot to mention Reno has a local O'Broon family that show up for indoor fives all kitted out. My son is friendly with them and always wear his orange Gers shirt there. They can't stand it

Worldwide theres probably at least 10 English clubs selling way more.
Modern fitba mate.

 

[Blu_ultra]

What's the feedback on quality please ?

The home top Is absolutely top class. I worked in the outdoor industry years ago and learned a bit about textile quality etc. They are using the best raw Materials. Our expert told me that Nike and Adidas were pretty poor and the best was Umbro. Apparently the wicking performance was 10x better than Nike.

 

[kdy_bear]

Who can recall some of those figures?

I can distinctly recall that we sold more merchandise in total than Newcastle and Aston Villa combined one season, in the eighties or nineties.

 

[Danger Zone]

It’s incredible. I honestly commend everyone who’s put their hand in their pocket, especially during difficult times. Well done to all and well done to everyone who showed up on opening day to make it a grand opening to remember.

 

[Ped78]

What a wonderful support we are.

 

[Diego Maradona]

Of interest, anyone know how many West Indies cricket jerseys they sell?

 

[Ped78]

Absolutely incredible numbers. The Castore lads will be walking around with constant hard ons right now.

And constant bags of money.

 

[Ped78]

Imagine the gear next season? 150 year old! If they nail an iconic and historic all white top with original star logo next season then you can triple that phenomenonal number

That would be utter beautiful.
Make it happen Castore

 

[Ped78]

3rd kit? I've no even received the 1st kit yet from pre-sale

 

[JeffreySpauIding]

Not bad for the first week.

We would be one of the best sellers in the UK based on that week alone and we still have another kit to bring out and plenty of people still to get to the shop. 500k is an ambitious target but if we get anywhere near it then it would be excellent.

 

[ZanderK81]

The numbers are skewed now forthe top premiership clubs in terms of the sales they have in the Asian Market. Be interesting to see the like for like sales in Britain only and certainly in terms of training gear sold. Might be biased but can't think of any team who sells more of training wear than us.
No wonder Castore have produced about 6 different variations of it.

Both Man Utd and Liverpool sell huge numbers of shirts in the Far East that’s why they regularly play pre season matches out there every summer

 

[stevie221]

In Motherwell it was great to see - man and boy today. I normally don't even wear the kit to games but when mine comes the moobs will be out with pride!

 

[Baba Booey]

Due to my disability ive piled on the weight over the last few years but due to changing diet and a caring wife ive managed to lost 9 stone in the last year. Aiming to lose about 5 more and i will be able to fit into a new Rangers top. What an incentive and its spurring me on big style. WATP!

Good for you, mate. Best of luck!

 

[steve__72]

I hope Fat Mike is devastated. The difference when we have a good setup to buy Rangers kit.

 

[Korova Milk Bar]

Going next weekend, hopefully there's been a delivery in by then. Might get a training top zipper and a t-shirt or something.

I really think Castore could make a fortune by selling just t-shirts with Rangers on them or like a picture of Ibrox. Maybe another company could do that but I definitely think these would be high selling especially for younger supporters.
