Question troops. With the amount of merchandise sold. castore have obvoisly made a big bag of cash. gers are a big enough club if it was viable then surely hers would make more pounds going it alone and making there own strips to take all the profit. obvoisly castore pay gers and get percentage if sales but sponsors wouldn't be doing this unless they make money. If gers were to produce there own strip with shirt only sponsor surely there's far more profit in this for gers?

{Ed002's Note - Rangers do not have a manufacturing facility, thry don't have the logiistics, they don't have the outlets or distribution network....}

We have a 5 year contract with castroe. Castroe are coining it in from rangers fans.

I was just going to post the same, Ed. On paper it does sound lucrative however the setting up and maintenance of the process would be prohibitive.

Ed has it spot on Davie, to start up as a kit manufacturer the expense would eat up any extra profits .

If it was a viable option Rangers would have done it.

Same goes for other clubs Davie.

No football club has the time or expertise to do it mate.

I agree Ed002 every vendor would want a pound of flesh and would reduce the products worth drastically. But why not buy into the successful current business, owners willing.

{Ed002's Note - There would be no point, Rangers is a football club.}

Ed I did think of that but castore were a small outlet prior to this also. I'm sure with some logistics by gers they could combat this to provide tops. Castore also don't have the distribution network as they don't have shops. with the way the worlds going could gers keep the mega store and go online only. Would any1 know the benifet of doing this in hard cash as in sales profits etc.

{Ed002's Note - There would be no benefit given the investment required.}

Also does any team have this practice in the world.

{Ed002's Note - No, the vast majority have a shirt deal where the kit manufacturers sponsor the club through providing shirts and sponsorship money. A few additionally take a small percentage of sales or a larger percentage of profits. Two clubs work in partnership with the manufactures.}

Ed 002 they can set these things up at a cost in the long run would turn out to be good investment because wee would get all the profit fromour shirt sales.

{Ed002's Note - Maybe get a market stall to sell them from as well.}

Ffs if this was the case then every club would be doing it not just rangers.

Kja9 again without fail you can't comment like the rest with a civalisided comment. After seeing how castore have handled gers with no shops etc I'm sure it's more than viable but also sure as ed said infrastructure to get there short term would be a lot if time, money and hassle tho. as some1 said. long term gain would be profitable. if your gona comment on my posts starting with a . then don't bother commenting at all eh. I'll await tt12s comments. cheers for most for being civil and like proper fellow fans tho.

What about the burgers and pies - maybe we should buy a farm to stop the profits going down the food chain!

DD I am stating facts just because you don’t like the answer doesn’t mean it’s not civilised.

Here is my comment for it not being civilised since you want it.

It’s one of the biggest crackpot ideas I have ever heard to be honest up there with someone wanting to loan fredo to an epl team to get his value up 👍.
