If it was horizontal rather that diagonal I think it would have worked better. I agree. As a club we need to rid ourselves of any suggestions of us being Rangers fans without the bus fare and having sash on a kit which is just like a sash worn by Orange orde….erm, well, it’s actually not like those ones at all….but Rangers like sashes! Fuckin Rangers! I’m very uncomfortable seeing this kit. 🤑 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can't revive a classic kit design in the 21st century because some small minded bigots can only associate a diagonal stripe with the Orange Order, then we'll never make any progress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 On a separate note, it just dawned on me that it has the look of a South American style kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. And on a serious note I think this is a braw kit and a lot nicer than our previous claret effort in 2018. If anyone takes a dislike to this purely because it has ‘a sash’ and somehow they associate it with Rangers and OO bigots then they need to take a good look at themselves, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Not a fan of the sash for obvious reasons but I thought it looked ok until a rangers supporting mate texts you to say how smart the kit is……: for this reason alone i hate it. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be crystal clear here. I don't associate a diagonal stripe with the orange order, rangers or anything remotely sectarian. For me it's simply that it looks like a sash with tassels mainly because the band is overly fussy. That's what I don't like about it. I could care less if someone thinks this strip design associates us with any group. Those people are beyond reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Amber and orange are totally different colors, so I scoff at any sectarian comparisons. However, we should wear it against Celtic anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers didn't invent " the sash" , if it works , it works Have we to stop designing new strips because of some link only people in west if Scotland will understand , just in case Celtic fans get offended? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Balls of Shire Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 If we had done the " sash" design for home strip, I think it would've worked better.... another point is why wear colours that are going to clash with the teams we need to change against, e.g Aberdeen, hearts? If it's just a top for wearing as a fashion thing ,fair dues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Does our home strip clash with aberdeen and hearts? If livi are still yellow they're the only club I can see us having to wear the away strip against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Some bonkers chat on social media re the new away kit We have had various home/away kits with a diagonal band/“sash”………unless I mistaken the sash worn by the Orange order is worn round the neck and meets around the midriff in a “V” and is orange and purple ………how does our new away kit resemble this ??? Confused from Motherwell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Pretty happy with both designs for our home and away kits this season. Macron seem to be continuing to do an excellent job in that regard. I would only add that the poster who suggested an all white kit with a claret sash, I think it may have been Ontheftinges, may be onto a winner. Despite the unfortunate events at Córdoba in 1978, I have always been a fan of the classic Peru strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused from Motherwell No need to be confused. What you describe is actually a “collarette”. A “sash” is worn over the shoulder. Ours is a diagonal band 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 Not a fan of this kit at all. Im not against a sash on our kit in general, I like South American styling, the same way I have loved the Italian styling of recent kits, but this one just hits all the wrong marks.
