Rangers fans slam 'embarrassing' and 'lazy' new strip launch as fuming punters say 'concept kits are BETTER' - The Scottish Sun
MANY Rangers fans were left less than impressed this morning after the club unveiled their first new strip for next season. The Light Blues released an away kit they claim is inspired by Ibrox, but supporters have made it clear that the design falls well short of expectations. Some fuming fans have even labelled it the “worst kit ever”. According to the club, the off-white design incorporates details from the iconic Bill Struth Main Stand. The colour is supposedly a tribute to the stadium’s famous marble staircase, while a mosaic pattern on the cuffs and collar draws inspiration from the ‘Rangers FC’ frontage overlooking the stand. Fans are still waiting for the new home kit to drop, but it is fair to say the hierarchy may struggle to get supporters flocking to buy this away strip. read more rangers stories And anyone looking to get their hands on the shirt will need to dig deep into their pockets. Adult sizes are priced at £85, while kids‘ shirts cost £65. Meanwhile, Pro shirts are retailing at a hefty £115 and fans opting for a long-sleeved regular top will have to splash out £90. The dismay was instant when the shirt officially went on sale at 8am. ### Most read in Sport ### OUR BEST FREE BETS & SIGN-UP OFFERS Many fans were left underwhelmed by the “lazy” design, insisting they have seen far better concept kits created by amateurs online. Reacting on social media, one punter said: “Embarrassing. Compared to the concept kits that often get posted on here it just looks amateurish at best.” Another sarcastically commented: “How adventurous, this must’ve took months and months to come up with.” Someone else said: “A lot of thought has gone into the design of that shirt 🤦🏻 deary me.” Another added: “Correction…Uninspired!” Others believe the strip is right up there with the worst the club has produced in recent memory. One fuming fan hit out: “That’s got to be the worse top we have ever had.” Someone else agreed: “Horrendous kit. Absolutely horrendous.” A third said: “Could be one of the worst away tops we’ve produced.” It wasn’t just the design that got supporters riled up, either. Fans were even left stunned by the official social media announcement, which mistakenly claimed the kit would be available to buy in all “STORIES” rather than stores. The typo only added fuel to the fire as eagle-eyed fans flooded the replies. One said: “’In all stories’ admin. Amateur from top to bottom.” Another hit out: “In all stories? Tinpot stuff Rangers.” A third added: “Can’t even spell store correct either.” A fourth blasted: “In all stories. who’s supposed to run this account now? Total shambles.” Tuur Rommens, Thelo Aasgaard, and Djeidi Gassama were the three men‘s players tasked with modelling the new look for the launch. But none of the trio managed a smile during the photoshoot — a detail that didn’t go unnoticed by the Ibrox faithful. One punter laughed: “Literally no one wants to be in this picture. 😂” Another pointed out: “Kit is lazy and players’ body language is off the scale.” While a third added: “They all look SO happy in this pic – can’t wait for the season to start…. To finish 3rd in a two horse title race again.” Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
