That’s such a tired old line. It’s like the pedantry of insisting ‘it’s only a Union Jack when it’s flown at sea”. Everyone knows our name is Rangers, even people who occasionally say Glasgow Rangers.

Good idea. Weed out the SNP voters and anyone not singing TBB

I'd be very surprised if there aren't a good few Gersnet members who still read the Record daily.

Eh?

I so want to read a statement from Rangers, explaining how sporting integrity prevents them from offering support.

Yes. The 5 stars should have featured only for the season after winning title #50. I’ve never liked the weakness of having to parade our success

The 5 stars will always symbolise the Murray era and should have no place in our future. We’ve put those days behind us now.

The 5 stars are unnecessary. I would lose them right away

The new crest is excellent. That’s how it should be done, refresh the best of the old. More radical changes almost never work but this does. We seem to have started doing things properly again. Things might be coming together at last.

Actually I’ve never understood why you can’t take a player off and then bring him back on.

It clearly favours the biggest clubs with the deepest playing squads, so it's almost certain to be a permanent change.

Kent v Celtic for me.

Shit happens. Someone's misfortune is someone else's opportunity. We move on.

From the point of view of a vendor, a presale is essentially to provide a tangible indication of demand and to generate a order book against which a higher level of supply can be justified. In many cases it also provides forward funding support for manufacturing, reduced borrowing or can be used to negotiate better supply/payment terms with third party manufacturers. Of course it’s also a way of publicising a new product and stimulating interest but the idea this was nothing but a marketing move by Castore is to be blind to how businesses actually work behind the facade of public relations. To me, this is a good business strategy that benefits all parties. It certainly has nothing to do with shortages or failure to supply, both of which are just figments of anxious minds.

Perhaps the message to the doom merchants is to wait until there actually is a shortage before complaining about a shortage

It takes a strange and perverse logic to criticise Castore for not supplying a product that we already know has a planned release date a month down the line? The pre-sale volume of 50,000 shirts has nothing to do with availability. It is a notional quantity that can be pre-ordered, nothing more. No one has been or will be left empty handed. Where the hell does this level of negativity come from? Are some of us so damaged by previous disappointments that we can no longer see straight. I'd think it was time to pack it all in if it had that sort of effect on me.

It does seem unnecessarily harsh to be criticising Castore on the second day of presale in the middle of a global pandemic. I’m actually quite impressed they’ve achieved what they have and suggest it confirms the good decision made when Castore was chosen as a partner.

You would think that, just once, these people would look at the world around them and ask themselves why everyone else is heading in a different direction. Every other country in these parts started playing football in June but Scotland has to wait a further 4 months. It's beyond belief.

Does anyone know if Scotland is the only European country that isn't playing top division league football at the moment? Or is there another country somewhere that's as fucked up as ours? If ever conformation was needed of the imbecile nature of football authorities in this shithole .....

Wonder how many shirts were sold on day one?

As long as they’re tinkers with money and I don’t have rub socially distanced shoulders with them, who cares. Everyone’s money is the same.

That’s exactly right. If SD sell more Rangers shirts than anyone else then more power to them because Rangers and Castore will be the beneficiaries. It’s in our interests that a major retail outlet like SD is fully engaged in selling Rangers merchandise. Times change.

Every July. Evaporates in January.

It's quite remarkable. You might almost think there's a collective premonition in the air.

Thanks @rbr I looked for kids shirts but couldn't find them.
