Glasgow Rangers Home Kit 2008/09

Posted on July 5th, 2008 in Glasgow Rangers by reddevilrooney

Scottish Premier League runners-up Rangers have unveiled their new strip for the 2008/09 campaign. They finished last season with 86 points from 38 matches, just three points less than league winner Celtic which got 89 points. Rangers still qualify for the second qualifying round of UEFA Champions League. Their new kit, which can be seen in the picture below, is manufactured by Umbro and sponsored by beer manufacturers Carling, which also sponsor the English League Cup (Carling Cup).

Rangers stand by their tradition and unveil a blue shirt for the coming campaign, being their traditional colour which earned them the nickname Light Blues. The Rangers emblem appears on the left side of the shirt when worn, surrounded by 5 red stars to commemorate their past league triumphs (51 times). The Umbro logo appears on the right shoulder in white. There are also details on white on the sides, around the shoulders, at the end of the sleeves and on the collar. Rangers hope that this new shirt will bring back success to Ibrox Stadium, with their last league triumph being back in 2005.

    its okay but i still think their home shirt from two seasons ago was the best one.

  2. jwheelieNUFC said,

    not enough red in it.

  3. martin rfc watp said,

    its awryt,a agree with the first 2 posters tho, i’ll still buy it probably

  4. Rob said,

    Not a bad shirt but the umbro logo being high & the sponsors logo being tilted makes the shirt look really uneven.

  5. Jen rfc x said,

  6. martin said,

  14. Beau said,

    It’s slick, definitely good looking. Why should there be red in it? Not my favourite shirt, but I do like it.

    I agree about the orange away shirt.

  15. oz said,

  16. peepshow said,

    I like it.

    Never mind bingoboy, there’s a new septic shirt out as well for you to spend your Giro on.

    Green and gold anyone?

  17. Callum-CelticFC said,

  25. ‘Mon the Hoops said,

    Those stars for league wins, at least Celtic has a real star for a European Championship

  26. bingoboy said,

    Charlie RFC and Peepshow: it is a bland and drab looking shirt.At least Celtic and Nike have at least spent time on ours and it shows, just like class.

  27. mon the gers said,

    how have nike spent time on the celtic top,they clearly havent its identical to australia and brazil

    bjk

  28. remember manchester? said,

    Cheap and nasty just like the team. Typical Rearrangers, second best as usual.

  29. newcastle utd Gavin McElroy said,

    celtic are the best team in scotland i have a soft spot for them because newcastle utd beat them in the pre - season friendly july the 26th last year the day our last away top came out it was also the day celtic’s away top came out oh and we won 4-1

  30. g-unit said,

  33. Teecey said,

    this is ryt kit look at rangersmegastore its a blue coller

  34. jamie6288 said,

    Past comment, i dont think this is the real shirt as the shirt on rangers megastore is different shade of blue and has not got white on the collar. Also there is a scotland flag on the back of the shirt at the top!

  35. Feenie said,

    Worst top release all summer its plain simple and ugly think the hun badge makes it look cheap.

    Fly the flag

    7 to go

  36. Billy, King said,

    Doesn’t matter if ANY septic fan thinks it’s rubbish, it’s ALWAYS going to be better than your sh*** shirt.
    W.A.T.P

  37. Niall said,

  47. wee jimmy said,

    Its better than celtic coppying brazil

  48. PrettyBoy1690 said,

    Thats not the real shirt folks.

  49. RFC-STU-RFC said,

    thats fake it was on rangers loyal.com the daily record took it and claimed it was that

  50. RFCp2p said,

    Why can’t people just comment on the tops without the hysterically awful and pathetic attempts at getting one up on each other? So, so sad…

    Anyway, it’s a nice top. It’s plain and simple, but that’s not a bad thing. Still not seen the back of it, so I’m not sure if the Scotland flag is there. Hope it is. That looked pretty smart.

    Good top unlike celtics shitey hoops EVERY year shitey tradition
    *****

    And tradition is what keeps the fans happy, considering we’re the ones going out spending our hard-earned cash!
    Celtic will never ditch the Hoops (FY Umbro!!!)
    At least Nike give a bit of thought in our kits.
    To be fair to this top, even as a Bhoy, it’s smarter than last years home, but still, it’s gonna be a Runners-Up shirt, AGAIN!
    And with regards the Celtic away, traditionally, Celtic’s 3 primary colours are green, white and you’d never guess. . . GOLD! So we’re sticking to our traditional colours, hear that? TRADITIONAL!

    4IAR, Hail! Hail!

  52. PEDRFC said,

    its a lot better lookin than celtic new away top wit looks like the colour of bile, mon the rangers

  53. CHRISSY :P said,

    WHEN DOES IT COME OUT ON SALE……..???????

  54. Craig said,

    The top is class, surely the extremely poor and under educated Celtic fans can see that..

  55. Robinson said,

    A love it :-)
    Definetley buyin it think it comes out on the 15th ;-)
    No surrender !

  56. Ned Stevens said,

    The shirt looks great, wont matter to Septic fan`s anyway because your player`s will only be seeing the back of it when chasing the Rangers about the park. The 5 start logo is one star for every 10 championships won. This idea originated in Italy until it was hijacked by any club who had won a major honour. I mean fur fux ache Aberdeen have got 2 on thier`s.

  57. Wardy 1690 said,

    i am a rangers fan and a go to every home game but to be honnest the top is a bit **** but av pre ordered it eny way i thought it was going to be better than that aw well a hink we need a better top designer infact a dini even ken wit am moanin aboot a would have bought it eny way
