Just want to share with all bears on here what i've heard today. Has anyone else heard that rangers, sports direct and both puma and umbro are all in talks over a possible new rangers kit deal, which will start from next season? What i've heard is sports direct will become our retail partners AGAIN, but the deal will be superb for our club and also that both puma and umbro are vying to take over as our kit manufacturers from hummel, after this season. Only passing info on fellow bears, I obviously don't know how much truth is in it.

Read the post properly Tryanikian!
The hint in my post is the word "vying" mate.

Not convinced with that coop. How much would we be due Hummell?

Commonsense, i'm only passing on what someone told me mate. Personally i would hope something could be worked out, to stay with hummel!

Remember guys, some sports manufacturer will have to make our kits for next season because it won't be hummel by the law of the court.

Are we not contracted to Hummel for 10 years?

No not Umbro or Puma again!
This stinks of us still not being free of cashley and sweat shop direct which is worrying.
It’s was always just a 2 year deal with Hummel so was expecting a new manufacturer but are we really so unattractive to Adidas or someone that makes kits with decent material.

no, but a renegotiated contract with sd can include hummel. just not stand alone without offer first going to sd.

Absolute bull, we will never work with sports direct again fans wouldn't buy the tops they will get there compo n that's there whack.

Ashley will decide who makes our strips😭🇬🇧.

It was a 3 year deal rangers signed with hummel, Davy_blue83.Its getting cut short by a year because of this legal fight with mike ashley and sports direct. Don't entirely agree with you Brogie 1982,when you say we won't work with sports direct again.
Because if the club are given a very good financial deal with sports direct in the financial side of selling our kits the fans will purchase them, as long as the club are getting the majority of the money! That's the crux of it mate. I think it could be puma, because like yately1 says, ashley will have a big say on who manufacturers our kits and as we all know he has massive shares in puma and would undoubtedly push for them to get the contract with us!

Do umbro still exist? I thought they went out of business, I've not seen any of there gear around for ages.

Where have you been Davie Robertson?
Umbro are very big again, in the shirt manufacturing business mate.
Just have a look at the football clubs from both england and scotland that umbro are now kit manufacturers for.

I like both Hummell kits (far better than the puma ones) and it'll be a shame to have to cut ties a yr early cause of SD. And because of this carry on with SD, I believe we will always remain a bad bet for the likes of Nike, Adidas etc.

Like you SirStruth, i would love us to somehow find a way through all this sports direct wrangle and sign a long-term deal with hummel, as our kit manufacturers. I've been impressed with the designs and quality of our kits, these 2 years so far. Even the terrific range of training gear available has been superb. The designs of all our hummel training gear so far, has been superb. Hummel have also shown a terrific appetite to learn and etch the magnificent history of our football club, into their designs!
They really WANT to be associated with us and that also means everything!

Watch this space, a judge cannot prevent a company from a tendering process.

John25,rangers have already agreed to adhere to the demands the judge has instructed. We've also removed the hummel name and logo from our website, matchday programme, post match press conference board etc. We can't/ won't be designing with hummel next season's kits or wearing hummel kits next season, that's fact mate.

Still won't buy from Ashley regardless.

SGL I’m well aware of that, Hummel can challenge court findings, based on restrictions of trade.

Would love to see us go back to Adidas like in the 90s as some of their kits are cracking. Would even love Nike as well although they’re a bit more generic.

Mike and Adidas won’t get involved with us because of Ashley and that’s why we will have to deal with relatively smaller company’s who pay less money like Hummell😡.
