EPL Talk: Spot The Difference: New Rangers Away Shirt vs 1980-83 England Home Shirt

  • John · 1 year ago
    You guys seriously don't know what you are talking about do you?

    If anything more Rangers fans would buy it BECAUSE it looked like an England strip.

    Rangers fans are criticised in Scotland because they don't see England as the enemy, and because they regularly sing Rule Brittania and God Save The Queen.

    Read a book.

    In fact, surveys have found that more fans of Rangers follow the Scotland national team than from any other club. But I doubt if anyone will be bothered about an England strip from 20-odd years ago. It looks like a Russia jersey - but I doubt if anybody will be bothered about that either. There are only so many things you can do with three colours on a football top.

    @John - I don't think Rangers fans would buy or not buy it based on how similar to an England strip it is. Sure some Rangers fans are very pro-England but I don't think that would sway their views on a strip.

    ''It makes you wonder if some Rangers fans will refuse to buy the shirt because of its similarity to England’s shirt.''

    What a stupid thing to say.

    I am a rangers fan and know that these similarities to england will probably make them buy the top more to annoy the many nationalists in scotland who dont believe in the union, as many of us(Rangers fans) do.

    what john says is correct, go to Ibrox on match day and you'll see the odd England shirt on gers fans.

    iam sure many rangers fans dont remember that england strip and would not have considered the similarities when and if they purchase it even though they support the union

    vaguely similar,but what does it matter.
    I like it and I`m sure most bears will. it`s a relatively simple design but nice all the same.

    Long live the Blues Brothers!

    and it was the 0-0 draw with West Germany ,thanks to Keegan and Brooking ,that knocked England out of Espana '82.

    Rule Brittania!!!!!!!
  • Joj · 1 year ago
    I follow both Rangers and Scotland passionately, but its similarity to the England shirt wouldn't make any difference to my decision to buy it.

    I think it will look lovely with my shiny brown brogues.

  • Banni · 1 year ago
    Thats a load of nonsense, as said earlier that many, many Rangers fan's are supporters of the union.

    Also this new away kit is almost identical to one we wore in the 80's, coincidently made by Umbro aswell.

    Some un-necessary comments from mindless idiots I see.

    Is there a point to this article? if there is im missing it.
  • AlbionPeej · 1 year ago
    They're similar like Celtics is similar cause Umbro make their kits too, and they have white in them.

    Nonsense article.

    You just can't talk about your own stinking, bigoted, skint, corrupt club without mentioning the first British team to win the Big Cup, can you? What is it with you all? Jealousy? Bigotry?? Hatred??? Who knows? Who cares? Here's to 4 in a row! Oh, and say bye-bye to Betty.

    I am English&a life long Ger. I will specifically buy this top because it is the quintessential away shirt combining Rangers&England. Love it. We are the people.
