Sevco are set to miss out on a retail fortune as Turkish market traders cash in on demand for their new orange top.
After weeks of speculation Hummel finally granted supporters their wish last Wednesday when they released images of three kits at once.
The ‘mandarin orange’ one won’t be available until October according to the club but with Sports Direct gaining an injunction to prevent sales and distribution that date could turn out to be optimistic.
Hi @hummel1923 can you confirm if a stall within a Turkish Bazaar is the only retail outlet that the new @RangersFC home & away kit can currently be purchased at this moment in time? Thanks pic.twitter.com/qCrrbsGQhO

Filling the gap in the market are Turkish traders who started knocking out fake tops long before Hummel released images of the new kit range.
Holiday makers started bringing the fake tops home, now supporters heading to Turkish resorts are going with order lists from fellow fans!
With no sign of strips being in production from Hummel it looks like being a long and lucrative summer for Mehmet and friends as they meet the demand to associate the tribute act with the Orange Order that brings shame to the streets of Scotland every summer.
