Given they’ve gone from a few teams to 10+ across Europe, not to mention other sports such as F1, cricket and rugby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Have raised with Mark Douglas to try and get the pressure cranked on the club around this. Simply not good enough when Fat Mike’s tat shops are happily selling the shirts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) There were the publicised issues with Rangers previously, but have Wolves and Villa fans raised any concerns yet? The shambles might get more coverage if it’s right across the board. Edited July 15, 2022 by WarrenBartonCentrePartin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgowToon Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 It's something Castore as a large organisation should have planned for regarding demand. With Rangers alone they should have known they'll need to expand operations quickly following last season but they're in the same situation as Newcastle too. Both sets of kits are made distributed by Castore, and the customer service is non existent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMcEl Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) New home Jersey came today, have to admit I really like it, love the embroidered badge, far better than the stick on one we've been getting since 2010 when puma took over Mine didn't come with the noon sponsor on the sleeve, which I have to admit I'm happy about, nothing wrong with it, just feel it looks cleaner without a big yellow square on the sleeve although I appreciate why some peole want it (personal preference) In terms of sizing, I got last seasons home after the take over, I remember hearing from rangers fans on FB and various forums etc about the sizing so I went one up from my usual size went for an XL normally always a L (with plenty of room especially in the puma jerseys) However especially after a few washes etc I felt the XL being a bit tight so went for a XXL this time round, and although it's better fit, Think even a XXXL might be better 🙈🙈 have to admit I know they get a lot of stick but this is the 2nd Castore item I've bought and have to admit prefer everything over the puma efforts over the years... Might ask Santa for the pre match jersey 😂 Edited July 15, 2022 by GavMcEl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Would it be too much to ask for blue numbers om the back of shirts instead of red? Find it very annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black, White and all primary colours should be allowed so as to provide the best contrast on kits (especially striped ones). Red is notoriously difficult to spot at a distance especially when colourblind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we wouldn’t be able to use the fun88 blue and two types of blue would look shit imo. didn’t we have gold at one point?

I think the Rafa Championship season was gold perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not to do with being able to read the numbers against stripes? Maybe red is the best option without needing a patch/panel on the back to make the numbers clearer? Maybe Blue wouldn't readable against the stripes? Though I guess some could argue the red isn't always that clear either? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Gonna DHGate the Saudi kit. Noticed a few sellers seem to have two versions, one of which has a white circle when you click on it. I'm assuming that just going to be badges? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
