Rangers Football
Shirts
Glasgow Rangers are Scotland’s
most successful club and have won more Championships and trebles than any other
club side in the world. The club play at Ibrox Park and won the European Cup
Winners Cup in 1972. The club have a fierce rivalry with Glasgow Celtic and the
Old Firm derby is one of the most passionate and bitter rivalries in the world
of football.
After a period of financial
difficulty, Rangers were liquidated at the end of the 2011-12 season. The club
were reformed, but were demoted to the Third Division, the bottom tier of
Scottish football and did not regain their top flight status until 2016.
Despite playing in the lower leagues, the clubs supporters did not waiver and
Rangers continued to average one of the highest attendances in European
football.
Rangers have been graced with a
number of top players over the years, including Paul Gascoigne, Ally McCoist,
Trevor Steven, Artur Numan, Gennaro Gattuso, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Tugay
and Brian Laudrup, who was voted the club’s best player. Such is the loyalty
and passion of the support that Rangers football shirts are one of the best
sellers on a consistent basis.
Rangers Home Shirt
A fiercely unionist club, the
Rangers home shirt is royal blue, white and red to reflect the colours of the
Union Jack. However, for the best part of the first 50 years of Rangers
history, the club played in a lighter blue jersey and even at one point wore a
hooped kit – a design now synonymous with city rivals Glasgow Celtic. The shirt
is worn with white shorts and black socks with red detailing.
Rangers Shirt History
The first Rangers replica shirts
released for sale to the public were manufactured by Umbro in 1978. In 1992,
the club signed a deal with Adidas and were sponsored by McEwans Lager. During
this period, Rangers began their dominance of Scottish football as rivals
Celtic suffered major financial troubles and were on the brink of extinction,
while the threat of Aberdeen faded.
In 1997, Rangers partnered with
Nike and the following year appointed Dick Advocaat as manager. The club
embarked on lavish spending on a number of big name players and while this led
to a period of success, it also was the start of the financial troubles that
would plague the club in recent years.
During this period, the club were
sponsored by telecoms firm NTL, however they had their own financial problems
and were replaced by Carling. Diadora took over the contract in 2002 and were
replaced by Umbro in 2005. Carling remained sponsors until 2010 when Tennents
took over.
Following the re-birth of
Rangers, the club signed a merchandising agreement with Puma and a sponsorship
deal with 32Red.
