Beattie 0 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 The JJB Rangers shop was full of folk who knew what they were talking baout when I was in. Guess it's just your luck. The guy who did my name print was sound. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarty 1,935 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Since we are now producing tops without the name of out shirt sponsor, does this have any financial implications? If I were the Chairman of Carling who was paying millions to sponsor a football team I would be pretty miffed if the club in question were producing strips without their logo. At the end of the day, sponsorship is about brand visibility & promotion so having hundreds of thousands of people over the world wearing strips with your name on it(or not as the case may be) makes sense. Therefore why allow this to happen? ps. sorry if this point has already been raised. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree totally with you about the financial implications but look at the respect FC Barcalona get for not covering their top with an ugly motif.I say sod it, ditch all advertisments from the top..The only thing that should be on the top is our club crest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between us and Barca though mac is that Barca don't have a sponsor whereas we have a sponsor who SHOULD be pissed off at tops being manufactured without their names on it. Just think of all the money Barca have let slip through their bank accounts by not having a sponsor for over 100 years (admittedly sponsorship is a relatively new phenomenon). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mac attack Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Am I right in thinking that these strips where originally wanted by and supposed to be for the Rangers FC supporters in the muslim community who don't want to be advertising alcohol? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That's interesting, I never thought the shirt with no logo would be available. Maybe Carling are happy as it shows them being responsible in terms of kids not buying a top advertising a beer? Which is nonsense, but in these overly PC times, mightbe good publicity for them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I went to the megastore at Ibrox for my top today and the wee burd who served me was delicious. She wasn't wearing a name badge and I think her boss was next to her so I didn't say anything. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisabeer 409 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Am I right in thinking that these strips where originally wanted by and supposed to be for the Rangers FC supporters in the muslim community who don't want to be advertising alcohol? that is correct. There is also an objection to kids tops advertising alchohol aswell. Though it isnt law at the moment there is enough support growing for it to be banned so expect that in a season or two. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
