Just announced in the sat half hour Rangers have been in talks with Puma and got nowhere. They just found out on Friday this was going to happen as Phma had made more tops out with sports direct numbers. It would appear that this does not have the backing of the Rangers Board.

Club has made a formal statement, go to rangers. co. uk to see it
It is absolutely clear that any sale of new kits does not have the backing of the Club.
There are a number of contracts in place, some of which are being challenged. It is highly likely the Club cannot explicitly say don't buy the kit for reasons which could potentially compromise the contract/ legal arguments. The message not to buy is clear.
Buying kits impacts the Club's leverage to change the relationships and change the pitiful amount he club gets from purchases. It puts money into Puma and SD and makes the situation less likely to change. Starve them of cash.

Puma sending strips out to sports shops to sell as of say without rangers say so. rangers keeping an eye on process as they have not agreed to it. sports direct also gona start selling them. rangers own the crest and have say so with who sells them so i would imagine a court case with rangers puma and sports direct gona happen.

this could be the start of the end as i would imagine that they are doing so outeith agreed contract so hopefully rangers will be able to terminate it. rangers keeping cards close to there chest so i'd imagine announcement will be made as soon as sport shops start selling them.

Bongo i was just reading the same story mate, but i won't be buying anything from any new tops from any sports outlets until the club tell us otherwise, i would hope more of our support will abandon these new tops as it only profits one very fat greedy slave driver, we get pennies from this deals, unlike the poor people working working in these sweat shops, they get paid enough to keep them alive,

Looks like puma will be on the boycott list as well.

Bongo, we can be sure on one thing mate, puma will be ditched quite rightly by our club and won't be making our kits after this year even though the deal with puma has another season to run after this one, they have badly betrayed rangers and sided with sports direct and we must all back our club and stick together, don't buy these new kits!

You hurt glasgow rangers then you hurt each and everyone of us! I did post weeks ago that we were negotiating with under armour in the event of something like this happening, my preference would be nike to become our new kit makers again although I wouldn't mind adidas or the big japanese sports makers uniqlo, what's all our thoughts fellow bears?

I agree with you Ian and hope nobody is buying any kit before we gain ground against Ashley.

It's either a brave or daft man that walks in to Ibrox wearing this new strip!

The contract with this guy is like a disease and we are in seven years of remission.

Sports direct went behind the clubs back. Do not buy the strips guys. If you pay £50 for a top rangers only get £2.

Very disappointed in puma in their stance by siding with sports direct, big mistake by a worldwide renowned sportswear manufacturer imo, I now hope to god we ditch them take our chances in court with both sports direct and puma and find a new sportswear brand to become our new kit manufacturers starting from next season, would love either nike, adidas and the monster japanese company uniqlo, let's take our chances in court and club and supporters alike, stick together as ONE on this!

Fat Ashley has shares in puma hence why Rangers went there and also why Newcastle are there.
