Absolutely not. I detest der hun but the story about the socks representing being up to their knees in fenian blood is just an urban myth that somehow gained traction.

I've no fucking idea who Bob Steele is, other than he's a sevconian but here's what he says about it 

Interesting fact of the day: - The famous royal blue shirt with white shorts is synonymous with Rangers. So why the long tradition of black and red socks? Black and Red are the colours of the Burgh of Govan, so the black and red socks indicate that Rangers are Govan's local team.

As I said above the Billy Boys were around about 60 years after OLDCO Huns were formed

Fuck all to do with fenian blood representing the red tops of their socks.

You think there would be photos of this red and black Burgh flag somewhere.

Clearly you don't believe me

Will you believe the Scotsman newspaper?

And what does that prove?

You seemed to be doubting that red & black were the colours of the borough of Govan. 
This states that they are

Remember when they made up some shite ‘historical link’ as to why they came out with the orange strip that had nothing to do with their King Billy bigotry & got all ‘their’ media pals to back it up. They even had some saying it was because they had so many Dutch players to add to their BS reasoning ?

When did Rangers start wearing black and red socks?

 

Success in the league was not so long in coming, with championships in 1911, 1912, 1913, and 1918. Since 1904, Rangers have usually worn black and red socks, the colours of the Burgh of Govan where the club has always been based.

You’re the clown believing some statement in the Daily Record from a ‘Rangers Trust’ that as far as I can see has no historic evidence to back it up. 

Exactly. Westhill being a bit naive there

Seen some mad shit on here over the years but folk arguing about the origin of rangers sock colours is something else.

Quick google search is inconclusive on yir theory. You seen the flag?

Moot point anyway seeing as the west coast catholic community have been led to believe it symbolises the famous line in the song since the huns started started wearing those socks. Whatever has been thrown out there since as an explanation doesnt make much odds. 
 

FTR, i give zero fucks about socks, i just fucking loathe huns and everything they stand for. The hate between the prods and tims historically, was one-sided and pure racism against the irish immigrants. The huns are the bad guys and have been since day one. 

 

Top posting.

Well it’ll have fuck all to do with fenian blood theory. 
The Billy Boys weren’t around until the 1930’s.

OLDCO we’re formed about 60 years before they came about

 

Genuine question, did they have those socks as part of the kit from day 1?

TC makes a decent case for it not being about fenian blood but that could just as easily be the fig leaf the club came up with to cover the real reason.
Like having an "orange" cup final in celebration of all their Dutch players.

Even if it started as a genuine recognition of being a Govan team it now has this connotation that's widely repeated so the club might be better considering changing them if they want to remove bigotry from the mindset of their core support.

Same with the orange third kits.

The red tops on the sock started in 1904.

So the original intention was nothing to do with fenian blood or Billy boys.

Still, what does it represent to your average hun fan these days?

That is the bit that matters, although I think a lot of them don't properly understand the bigotry they engage themselves in anyway. Just an excuse to let their general cuntish traits out

In the interests of historical accuracy their “media pals” included soon to be SFA chief executive Gordon Smith.  Found the link quite amusing as I recall.

I’n such a fucking nerd I probably will. Btw for the avoidance of doubt all I’m saying is that so far I can’t find this fabled flag/coat of arms online at all. It may well exist but I have no reason to believe it does. 

The coat of arms from the old Govan town hall is closest to red and black that I can find...

[Simply Red]

^thats all i could find

[Tommy]

Another theory is that the red and black represents funnels on ships built at Govan ship yard.

At the end of the day, it matters not as it doesn’t alter the fact, they, like the original club are absolute spawns of Satan.

[aberdeen1970]

The red represents the creditors that the old club fucked over. And the black represents the shame they cause Scotland every time they try and make friends on their 'journey'

[pocrawred]

So the huns want to press charges against the Utd supporters disrupting the minutes silence!! Fuckin morons....

And they deny any bottles were thrown at the Utd support!! 'I was sat close and never heard any glass smashing'   Aye right....

That’s the problem, kids growing up to hun families will see these just as songs that go with the club and not the bigoted bile they really are. Every single child made to wear a hun top should be a child protection case straight away.

You’re not wrong.

The same conversations will be had in 100 years time.

A bit like @zeroisgod76 and his posting really.
