Imagine the uproar if the flag was the Union JackThat'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.

If we’re going Pantone, then it’s Royal Blue for me (the official shade of the Union Flag) which is Pantone 280. I think Jersey No. 8 is closest to that, which was always my favourite anyway.That's an interesting take. Our current kit looks quite a similar shade to that.

My own fave, Bro.
I loved them all at the time, but childhood images rule the heart. For me anyway.

I've been waiting for someone to post about the Diadora blue being their favourite shade of blue.
I'm just curious mate, what makes that the best shade for you? For me it was an anomaly, just couldn't understand why it looked so odd and bright for a Rangers shirt.
You're not alone though cause 15 people voted for it

There is only one blue and thats the 1960's version. Any blue that came after that was different was simply a mistake on the part of the manufacturer. Shame on them.
I liked the first Hummel blue too with the darker shade at the sides.
Brilliant colour and strip.
Nostalgia I suppose plus my 14 year old granddaughter commented that there’s no badge on it. I told her that’s why we’re the Famous Rangers. We didn’t need a badge to be recognised.I've been waiting for someone to post about the Diadora blue being their favourite shade of blue.

Edit: Sorry I misread what you wrote. I loved that shade of blue in the Diadora shirt. Comparing them all that was the one I found most striking.

I would have always said Royal Blue - but seem that even that is variable. Anyway I prefer the colur of my first Rangers strip early sixties with white v neck

Full blue kit has essentially become our European kit of choice
For some reason we always mix it up against Hibs away but we always wear our home top. Either Blue shorts and red socks or more recently playing in all blue.

Agreed, I really liked the blue shade of our 55 winning top. This season's is a completely different shade and inferior to last years in my opinion!

Having jerseys with two tones of blue - NTL one - is just greedy :shh:I've been waiting for someone to post about the Diadora blue being their favourite shade of blue.

That was my first strip, I loved it and also loved the red change strip,We wore it before I was born so I've not seen it much. Definitely a nice kit and shade of blue.
voted for number 7 colour but like the number 8 strip
Agreed, it is stunning.
I’m old enough to have owned one or two previous strips (Number 6 Square pattern McEwans was my first) but THIS is the Rangers strip for me. I was so proud to own this one. I hung it up next to my bed every night for weeks. If it got washed, I’d wear it wet. Love this strip

All the darker ones.
Rangers' historical blue is royal blue, as it's clearly shown in the 'historical kits' sketch, I don't like light blue and the kits Rangers put out ever since the 2000s on.
I voted 8, the classic Rangers shirt. I liked them all until year 2002. Cr Smith was marvellous, the striped one in 1982 was marvellous, the Adidas ones were marvellous.
I just can't recognise Rangers playing with these pale blue shirts.

I'm the same. Last seasons was the wrong colour for me. Resembled our Sun bleached seats too much.
Nice bump, this was before I knew we'd sign Ramsey and barely play then miss a decisive Euro final penalty!

3 for me,loved that top Very close to our 60's v neck (number 8) as a Rangers top should be.

Still one of my all time favourite tops. My brother bought it for me when it first came out. Think that I must have been one of the first where I stayed in Easterhouse to have one. Wore it with pride….
I liked the first Hummel blue too with the darker shade at the sides.
This for me is the best colour by far and the best strip we've had in decades. Easily the best.

It really was a cracker. Only downside (correct me if I'm wrong) was the RFC crest was rubber and not stitched. I loved the rich blue, I still go and watch old games on YouTube to see it again, looks lovely in the night time Europa games.

PMS 300 was chosen by the nats when they got in power. The true colour of the saltire is a navy blue- as depicted in the union flag.It is a great question and very difficult in my opinion to choose. I voted for number 7. However, I would love to see us bring out a jersey that is the identical shade to the official Saltire of Scotland which is 'Pantone 300' and also the same shade as the NHS logo. I would love to see this for various reasons:
- Embrace Scotland and Scottishness whenever we can. The Founding Fathers choose blue for our jersey for a reason.
- Start to take back our identity even if it is just a very small part which has been hijacked from the Republican and Independant crackpots and hypocrites.
- To represent Scotland's Premier Football Club in our country.
- To get it right up the lot of them and have them spewing at the sight of a Saltire shade of Blue on the team they despise for being Scottish AND British.
I dont think the colour most of us would describe as rangers blue has an exact code, but sitting looking at a pantone book just now, i would say somewhere along the lines of 2935.

It all depends on the material of the jersey. The umbro one above with the rugby style collar is a flat material, so would better match an uncoated pantone, where as the cr smith top for instance has a sheen so you would go with the C colours.I think these are the colour codes of the blue they came up with.

That strip was an absolute cracker - like you say, it is unfortunate that it will always be associated with a bad time for the club.I actually really really liked this shirt, it's just a shame that the majority of players that wore it, you'd rather forget about.
Special mentions to Waldo, McCulloch and this man.
Beautiful top but.
Simplistic and a cracking shade of blue.

3 is the correct answer.
This top and this colour of blue for me all day long.For me, this top is the exception to that. My favourite top, never had it off as a kid. Lovely deep blue too.
I bought the original when it first came out and last year gave it to my daughter cos she loves it too....then I demanded it back to wear in Seville

The perfect shade of blue on a perfect Rangers shirt. The quality blows anything from 2022 out the water aswell. Don't think that one will ever be beaten tbh.
