New Rangers Kit Revealed!



BACK IN BLACK!

The new alternate FC77 Rangers kit was revealed today. One word: Sexy! Two words: Sexy awesome!

The Yellow and Black and can now also be known as the Black and Yellow...and White. In contrast to their dynamic yellow kits, 'Gers now have an away adidas Tabella II Climalite short sleeve black shirt, trimmed with a royal white collar and sleeves. Similar white strips along the shoulders and sides give the shirt a dynamic and modern look. The new FC77 Rangers crest is proudly emblazoned on the chest and yellow numbers adorn the back. Plus, the black color will make them really easy to wash and keep lemony fresh for many campaigns to come.

In addition, a new keeper jersey was also included. The adidas Tiro three-quarter goalie kit is gray with a navy chest blaze and a gray and blue sleeve. The asymmetrical design is numbered "00" ("Double zero, you're my hero!") and features 3/4 padded sleeves...Marcus Hahnemann would approve. The Tiro will provide an updated alternate to the swirly purple shirt 'Gers has had since...1994?...for any reserve netminders or for Silverman if he wants.

Junior Rangers were also included in the order as two matching youth field jerseys arrived with the shipment. They are also emblazoned with the new Rangers logo on the front.

Thanks to Chase at Tursi's Soccer for providing the uniforms and to Brian Bauman for brokering this fantastic deal.

See below for exciting photos from the exclusive FC77Rangers.blogspot.com photo shoot! (i.e., my backyard).

"Blue Steel"...or is it "Magnum"?
(You knew this picture was coming, didn't you?)

Rangers had hoped to wear them for the Blue Monk Derby tomorrow, but Wolfhounds FC only has one color uniform now and it is...you guessed it, black. As the home side we are obliged to wear an alternate color. Since tomorrow will be 75 degrees, maybe that isn't a totally bad thing.
