Military Range

[jacksdad]

In fairness he didn’t only just ask a question, he also expressed a very strong opinion stating that he thought it was “disgusting”. Clearly he’s entitled to his opinion however, that will prompt others to express their opinions and views in response to the original question…what’s the issue?

My opinion is it’s a brown hoodie with Oxen and Shrewsbury Town on it not battle fatigues, so let’s keep things in perspective.

Not sure about the 'Shrewsbury' written across the back. But I'll probably get the hoodie. Does look ace

[horse01]

Until the OP associated it to anything other than an item of clothing, that’s all I thought of it as - an item of clothing. And to be fair I still do.

In my opinion, this has absolutely no connection to, nor is it symbolic of anything other than STFC.

I understand you are entitled to your opinion, however, I find this opinion rather bizarre?! Sorry.

We currently have a strong link to RAF Shawbury. Oxen provide official merch to Lincoln city, also providing a military range to a club that has strong links to the RAF. I like it, and don't see any issue. You can buy it or just ignore it, it's a choice.

The shrill overreactions to someone mildly asking a question is typically irrational and pretty funny.

Jesus, some on here are so precious.

Is it just me, or do other people find it quite tasteless that Oxen is selling military style Shrewsbury clothing when there’s so much conflict, ie Ukraine, Gaza, Lebanon, going on in the world and US people have just re-elected Trump. Personally, I think it’s disgusting. Do any other teams, excluding American teams, sell this sort of stuff?

having only just looked to see what the fuss was about ,  im not sure why its called the military range ?   is it the colour or style,  I honestly dont know but I actually think this item is fabulous

I agree, military range seems an odd name. Not my style but looks quite well made, as far as you can tell from a photo.

Unfortunately, it’s not just you who are so pathetically sensitive…. I suggest you check your muesli for your undoubted nut allergy before you pour your vegan milk over it!!

Jesus of Nazareth I have seen some posts in my time but this certainly takes the rain bowed coloured biscuit

One of those humorous posts there …..

But “rain bowed”? 

[Bob Rickerton]

I'm not offended by it, but I think they're pretty naff and a bit cringe.

They're certainly not on the level of that poppy t-shirt from a few years back, which was one of the most embarrassing things produced in the history of fashion.

I like the idea and I'm pretty sure every NFL side have a Military Range, Commanders

However the proceeds go to a veterans charity, Salute to Service, is the Oxen range?

What disappoints me this year is the club not doing the dual Poppy/team logo badge.

[davycrockett]

Seems it’s a Shrewsbury thing rather than Elite Pro Sports, we seem to be their only ‘partner’ with it so presume we asked for it.

It doesn’t even look military if they’d called it The Country Range or County Range it would have been popular with a different demographic.

I do like it.

just the job if you are trying to hide in the desert, very 8th armoury. Old Monty would be proud.

[ThrobsBlackHat]

It looks like any normal fishing gear, so it's a fusion of two of my greatest loves.

[kenwood]

Perhaps Oxen should have called it their Relegation Range . 😳

If anyone is really into ex Army clothing there’s a very good shop in Bishops Castle selling loads of the stuff .

Mind you some of it is quite expensive if it is made using GoreTex.

Despite my opening line I still think we will escape relegation 👍

[albionshrew]

I quite like that orange/brown hoodie! Can’t really see a military connection.
Talking of red poppies, I am the only person in Brighton wearing one - and I’m woke!

I went shopping for some camouflage trousers for my Grandson. Couldn't find them.

I didn't realise about that bit , it does spoil
It for me

[capitalsalopian]

I've got the t-shirt for going to the gym. Really nice weight/quality to it. Also have the military chiefs jersey (nfl) so maybe it's just my kind of thing.

Which was not, of course, the case with the OP's expressed opinions was it....perish the thought!
