Darthter 542 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 [Tin hat on...] Why the Union flag...when Rangers are a Scottish club, in the Scottish league, playing under the Scottish Association....IF any flag should appear on our strip it should be a Scotland flag. There is no UK football association to represent - We play abroad under a Scottish banner. Safest bet is no flag at all....The RFC crest is heavy enough for the players!!!

An Orange third strip would be fantastic as I love the colour. Only those who see bigotry everywhere would have an issue (usually bigots themselves). One way or another we have a huge historical Dutch connection. We should celebrate it! A huge historical Dutch connection? Have we? We had a Dutch manager for 3 years and group of Dutch players over 5/6 year period many moons ago. We've not had a Dutch player in years. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...think I'll keep the tin hat on for now...;) ] I have no problem with a simple colour (orange) but I don't think any flag (Union flag or Saltire) should be so prominent within a strip design but that's just me and I don't buy strips anyway. Asthetically, it looks good and commercially it'd be successful so it does make sense in that regard. Edited May 25, 2018 by buster. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Some people may not like some of the strips. Fine. You're never going to keep all the people happy all of the time. If there's a demand for an orange strip then go for it. Likewise, if there's a demand for one with a UJ then go for it. Why not also have one with the saltire and give fans the choice? Just because you or I may not like something doesn't mean that the club shouldn't go for it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only "symbol" I would love to see is the 6 pointed star from our original strip incorporated into an away strip. Oh wait, does that mean we are pro-Israel? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,679 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Is there anything else we can do to make sure that we don't offend anyone? Ditch the flags above the stadium? Ditch the flags on the pitch pre-match? Ditch the dressing room picture? Ditch the loving cup ceremony? Snowflake generation right enough....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can have an opinion. That doesn't mean anything should be, has to be or will be ditched.
