Puma sales of new Rangers strips halts as questions raised over rights

PUMA have stopped offering brand new Rangers strips for sale as questions arose over whether the sportswear manufacturer has the rights to trade the merchandise.

Last month, Rangers withdrew exclusive rights to use the club's trademarks given to its merchandising joint venture with Sports Direct, set up under the previous Ibrox management.

It was a move that put pressure on Sports Direct supremo Mike Ashley to dismantle the Rangers Retail joint venture for selling the club's merchandise.

It is understood that new Rangers strips could not be sold because of Rangers' move to terminate the merchandising contracts and was expected to provoke a so-far unforthcoming legal challenge.

It was expected that supporters would effectively be denied the chance to buy the brand new replica Puma-designed kit that Rangers will wear in action in the coming months from the Ibrox Megastore.

But it emerged that Puma had the 2016/17 strips had become available for sale on its website, while unavailable through Sports Direct or through the Megastore.

But yesterday afternoon the strips became unavailable for sale on the Puma website. And a few hours later the new Rangers kit sales page had been removed completely.

When some fans inquired what had happened they were told by sales representatives that they might be available soon.

One fan was told: "The shirt is unavailable at this time....

"Unfortunately we are unable to provide a specific date when the item will become available, but we are hoping that this will be in the not too distant future."

Both Puma and Rangers declined to comment on the situation.

It is understood that the strips became unavailable after the questions over rights to sell the new strips were directed at the company yesterday by some fans.

Puma became the "official supplier and licensee of replica merchandise for the club" in a five-year kit deal announced by Rangers in February, 2013.

In a statement produced at the time, when Charles Green was chief executive Rangers said: "The agreement which will commence at the start of season 2013/14 will see Rangers wearing the Puma brand on all of the club’s team kit, replica kit, training wear and equipment.

"The partnership with PUMA complements the club’s joint venture with retail giants Sports Direct."
