New Rangers top sold to fans with defunct 'Sportemon Go' sponsorship on back of shirt

New Rangers top sold to fans with defunct 'Sportemon Go' sponsorship on back of shirt

RANGERS have today released their new Castore third shirt for the 2022/23 season and fans will have to buy the jersey with the now defunct Sportemon Go logo on the back.

The NFT company went bust last week after their branding had already been printed on thousands of Gers shirts.

The Ibrox club received criticism from some fans for their partnership with Sportemon Go when it was first announced and supporters will be frustrated with the branding on their new shirts.

Rangers have confirmed that they will offer free cover-ups when a replacement back of shirt sponsorship deal is announced.

They said in a club statement: "The back of the shirt displays Sportemon Go and the Rangers Store will offer supporters the complimentary option to have new branding applied to this area, when we announce our new 22/23 season back of shirt partner within the coming weeks."

The new Castore design features a striking orange design with white and navy trims.

The strip features a modern v-neck collar and a return to the classic Rangers scroll crest.

Rangers say the shirt features "lightweight and breathable fabric" making it the perfect purchase ahead of the Europa League final in sunny Seville later this month.

Supporters have also been urged to place their online order by 12pm this Thursday to ensure they receive their new top in time for the UEFA Europa League and Scottish Cup Finals.
