I doubt it would be a significant sum to go a little further and adopt the principle of keeping the shirt clean. You're right, sometimes having principles does cost money. It's not something I expect to happen, only a personal preference not to have our children running around advertising things they're not actually allowed to participate in because ... well it's obvious isn't it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I didn't realise that was still the case but I still don't think it's entirely fair to go around advertising things that have ruined the lives of many Rangers fans. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it completely ironic, that gambling within the sport is frowned upon, but many of the major sponsors/investors are gambling companies.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. You might even say it's reprehensible hypocrisy. I predict that in ten years time gambling will be in the sin bin alongside tobacco. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the point. I really don't think it would cost us much to not have a company's name on the shirt. Who knows? A principled stand might sell a lot more shirts. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
