So there is talk of Cardiff City FC changing their strip from blue to red for commercial reasons and possibly being nicknamed the Red Dragons instead of the Bluebirds, after the Welsh Dragon that King George trampled over. Would it be a wise move for Rangers FC to switch their colour from blue to orange? The colour ties in quite well with the club. In the United States and Canada, orange regalia is associated with the field of engineering. Orange is the colour of a subway line in Boston. Orange is the national colour of the Netherlands The Orange in the flag of India signifies courage, sacrifice and the spirit of renunciation The US Department of Homeland Security's code orange on its terror threat scale represents a high risk, second highest to severe. Prisoners incarcerated in many American jails and prisons are made to wear orange jumpsuits so they will be easy to see if they try to escape Orange was used as a rallying colour by Israelis (such as Jewish settlers) who opposed Israel's unilateral disengagement plan in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in 2005. (No one likes us, we don't care) Orange is the most sacred colour of Hinduism. Orange represents the sin of gluttony. Due to its brightness, orange is used in the construction industry on road signs and safety jackets to warn passers-by of the pending dangers ahead.
As green is the colour of money, shouldn't Rangers play in that, to signify how much of the stuff they've spent? Say a green shirt, with white shorts to signify a fresh start, and orange socks for the reasons you've already given.

Green!?! Yuck. The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, "to grow". Sometimes it can also describe someone who is inexperienced, jealous, or sick e.g "green around the gills", a phrase used to describe a person who looks ill. Animals such as frogs, lizards, and other reptiles and amphibians, fish, insects, and birds, appear green because of a mixture of layers of blue and green coloring on their skin. Many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, it is associated with death, sickness, envy, or the devil, or both The Chinese term for cuckold is "to wear a green hat" this is because in ancient China sex worker's husband wears Green Headscarf. Green is also known to have signified witchcraft, devilry and evil for its association with faeries and spirits of early English folklore. It also had an association with decay and toxicity Many flags of the Islamic world are green, as the color is considered sacred in Islam
I think I've been on the Glasgow subway once, maybe twice. I was aware it was orange but I thought Boston, USA was a more appropriate City to use.
Another 'fun' orange fact: The Dutch have different words for the colour orange 'oranje' and the fruit 'sinaasappel' (literally 'Chinese apple') Another one of these tomorrow.
No we'll not. We'll still be Rangers, we'll still have our history. How many people do you know who support a company? Come on Company Number 00109065!!! Get tore into Company Number SC005364
