Your preferred Rangers blue?

[Vallance]

3 or 8 for me.

 

[stein and johnston]

I like all of them but opted for no.7

 

[Colinstein69]

7 for me. Plus the Souness CR Smith one.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

I agree. I also like the kit when we change it at away games to blue shorts and socks. A full blue kit stands out and looks good. I think we should mix it up , as long as blue is the main colour

Oh yes, love our all blue kits.

 

[Aragorn]

I think our present top is one of the smartest in any league.

Love the sixties top so plumped for 8

 

[Jack Burton]

I like this seasons best, it’s a very vivid shade of blue.

Just not a fan of the kit maker but that’s another point for another thread.

 

[club175]

Then every kit looks the same. Lose sales. As long as it's blue that's the main thing.

the design should change but the colour shouldnt. Imo we should have an identified blue rather than the wildly different colours we see between years

 

[Forth Bear]

7 for me.

 

[Allan McRitchie]

7 for me

 

[BruceyBalboa]

Oh yes, love our all blue kits.

I like it as well, but just for European matches. Gives it a bit more prestige rather than using it for pish like Livingston away

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Sorry to flip the question a bit, but are there any home tops over the years you've looked at and just thought: "That's not right, entirely the wrong shade of blue"

For me, our first kit back in the Premiership and our 2004 Diadora one.

 

[RoyalBlue]

7 is the one for me.

However, I love every Rangers top I’ve ever worn

 

[Loyal72]

Why? Literally no club does this. Would severely limits ourselves.

 

[BruceyBalboa]

Controversial opinion maybe, but I always felt the 94-96 home Adidas shirt was too dark a blue. Love the shirt and the memories of Gazzas hat trick against Aberdeen etc. But that one always stood out for being too dark a blue. Probably to do with all the different RFC logos thru it that were a dark colour anyway.

Thought that too, but if you look at it, it's actually quite comparable to our earlier tops, 1,2,3 and 4.

 

[Ubik]

6

 

[tumsheeheed]

7 cup winners cup final one although it looks a lot lighter in that photo think you’ll find it was closer in colour to # 8 if memory serves

 

[Bob Belcher]

I've always been a fan of this one.

 

[Portrushbear]

I never liked the cotton fabric umbro top we wore 2010/2011

Was like a Rugby top

 

[Loyal72]

Lovely shade of blue though!

 

[Coop1872]

Should the club not decide on a shade, possible poll via STs and MyGers, and register it as Rangers Blue on the Pantone scale then future kits etc will be the same colour?

I thought the club had already decided on a "Rangers blue" a couple of years ago. Assumed this would also apply to the kit.

Rangers Kick Off Digital Transformation

Following a lengthy consultation period with Rangers’ domestic and international supporters, partners and staff, the club is launching as part of this new initiative:

A new interactive website and app

A refreshed READY crest

A new brand identity, to include the ‘Rangers blue’ and a club typography

 

[Sticky Fingers]

7 for me. Proper Rangers blue, the iconic colour on an iconic top for an iconic club.

Another vote for one that wasn’t on the list and that’s the ‘86 top from Souness era.

 

[Boabinho]

The Diadora top was an abomination.

I'd like to see what the "Rangers blue" looks like if anyone can help if possible.

My thoughts on the poll, I'm slightly surprised our current top got 30 votes. I'm just not overly keen at all on the shade of blue. Last years was a much better colour.

Pretty shocked 8 people voted the Diadora one. It's the same colour as our sun bleached seats at Ibrox

72 people agree with my choice (number 3) What a kit and what a team that wore that. Lovely colour.

No surprise that fans view our European Cup shirt as their favourite Rangers blue though. Will be interesting to know if it was mainly older bears that voted for it or if anyone under 30 did.

 

[Henry2510]

6 for me only because you didn’t put the cr smith 86/87 season top on it

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Good shout, excellent top and the blue is lovely.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

See post above mate. I really like that one.

 

[Henry2510]

Aye but not original vote that’s when I was allowed to start travelling down by my own to Ibrox

 

[Henry2510]

Another fav of mine is the blue with white pin stripes from my first cup final in 84 and also my old man’s cousin even though not a popular player on FF played in that strip Jim bett played in it

 

[gersandproud]

8 is what I grew up with
& I suppose being younger at the time - my memory might be playing tricks -

But it seems as if we had the blue in 8 (although the photo shows a later toff version) for longer than any other version since

Consequently it's like any version after that - no matter how similar - isn't the 'original' - & therefore seems not as authentic

For some reason - there doesn't seem to be a 'Standard' royal blue
Anyway they're all good

 

[Bluenose68]

Wow it really is a cracker. Would love to see it without the cheap Tennants logo.

Edit: here it is

I had this 1 unsponsored (was my favourite too of my 53 year life) till my daft new bird tried to iron it.

Very nice! I wasn't born then so missed out but I'm glad good quality photos are available.

 

[Captain Cutlass]

Being a nostalgic auld bassa, it's #8 for me!

I think these are the colour codes of the blue they came up with.

Hex #0033A0
RAL 5002
Pantone 286C

 

[Gary]

You could probably title this thread "how old are you?"

I picked 3.

 

[a_weir]

It was about getting the logo in view when players were being interviewed, I think.

The Nike Total 90 kit templates of around the same time did it as well.

https://twitter.com/x/status/845696804788187136

I always remind others of these kids when we get the 'it's just a template and Nike or Adidas would do us a bespoke kit'

Um, no they bloody well would not.

 

[Faure there’s not a team]

7

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Excellent info, appreciated!

 

[Johnny.mcb]

Has to be 3 or 8

 

[Jon Jones]

I prefer 1 and 7 which are very similar.

 

[D4RN-L]

Wow it really is a cracker. Would love to see it without the cheap Tennants logo.

Edit: here it is

Wasn’t this just a training top at the time and the only thing we had enough of to allow Jimmy Bell to get numbers onto them for the first game?

 

[Bearsden Bear]

The Rangers blue from the 92/93 adidas top was just beautiful.

 

[Alfie shhh!]

Agreed, it is stunning.

Not sure mate but there was a launch tease before the full reveal.

My favourite ever top. I have two of the above (one unopened).

 

[Loyal72]

No. If you look it has 1972 stitched into the inside of the collar, it's a retro nod to the 1972 European Cup Winners cup kit.

 

[Amity75]

That's an interesting take. Our current kit looks quite a similar shade to that. We also had a Saltire on the shoulder of our 2006/07 kit. This one reminds me of Barry Ferguson, Kris Boyd and unfortunately Paul LeGuen!

The Umbro logo was bizarrely way too high on the kits from this era.

I always thought they put it that high up because they were expecting squad numbers to be added to the front of shirts and the numbers would be beneath the umbro badge.

 

[KirkieRanger]

You could probably title this thread "how old are you?"

I picked 3.

I agree with you there mate, and I picked 8

W.A.T.P.

 

[TheFrenchTank]

The 1999-2001 home kit was perfection.

 

[9inaBo]

Chose 6 but could be because I like the strip.

Was a thread on here a while back about Rangers blue paint code. Anyone know it? Front door needs done and it’s a similar colour already but would be nice to get the exact one.
