amms 0 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Awful! Can you see Shaw, Woodburn, Davis and Shearer in that? Actually there is a pretty good chance that both Willie Woodburn and Tiger Shaw did wear a pink strip. The Scotland 'away' strip from 1947 to 1951 was pink and yellow, the racing colours of the Earl of Rosebury the first honorary president of the SFA. Woodburn definitely played in the 1951 match against France where it was last worn, I can't be sure if Shaw ever wore it though. Pink only became a feminine colour in the 1950s. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,002 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks, amms. I'd forgotten about Lord Roseberry's colours but it was Plastic Whistle style hoops with a neat white collar and the pink was a deep manly pink not the current jessie pastel shade. White shorts and navy socks with red tops, typical of the old sectarian Scotland. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cail Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If this brings money in to aid in the fight against breast cancer then i'm all for it and is the morally right thing to do. In N. America all the Major Sports this season have their players wearing all kinds of pink in their respective Club outfits and it has really taken off and has helped raise thousands of $s for a worthy cause. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1872 4 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Foundation Is In The Pink! Written by Neil Smith RANGERS Football Club and Sportsdirect.com have launched a limited edition pink shirt in support of the Rangers Charity Foundation. The striking pink shirts replicate the design of the Rangers replica shirt design for this season and are available in a variety of adult sizes for men and women. There are only 5,000 shirts available and £15 from the sale of each shirt will be donated to the Rangers Charity Foundation in support of its fantastic work in Glasgow, across Scotland and throughout the world. The initiative has the potential to raise £75,000 in support of the Rangers Charity Foundation and comes thanks to a generous agreement between the Club and Sportsdirect.com to back the work of the Foundation in this way. The shirt launch is a great cash boost for the Foundation as it celebrates a decade of charitable giving and it is hoped that the shirt will be a big hit with fans who can wear them with pride. The limited edition shirts are an exciting first for the Foundation and they are guaranteed to make you stand out in a crowd! During the last 10 years over £2.5 million in both cash and in-kind support has been donated making dozens of inspirational projects a reality, from health centres in some of Togo’s poorest communities and specialist facilities in Glasgow for teenagers with cancer to Braille books for Scotland’s blind children and life-improving nebulisers for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. One of the projects benefitting from the sale of the limited edition shirts will be The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice after the Foundation recently announced a landmark partnership with the Hospice to raise £100,000 towards a new palliative care facility which will be built on a proposed site within Bellahouston Park. Rangers Chief Executive, Charles Green has been delighted to give this new fundraising activity his full support and said, “I know that this initiative has been a year in the planning, and, although it has been a difficult year for everyone connected with Rangers Football Club there is absolutely no doubt that the spirit of our supporters, including their charitable spirit, has been incredible. The Rangers Charity Foundation is a vital and cherished part of the Club’s spirit and activity and this initiative demonstrates the Club’s continuing appreciation of the wonderful work that the Foundation does.” The Club would also like to express their thanks to Tennents’ for agreeing to remove their branding from the shirts in favour of the Rangers Charity Foundation. The limited edition shirts in a variety of men’s and women’s sizes are priced at £39.99 and are available to buy from the Rangers Megastore from 9am tomorrow (Friday 19 October) and online at sportsdirect.com. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
