The Glasgow Rangers 2020-21 jerseys have been created by Emre Gultekin, a Turkish Graphic/Product Designer and Creative Director currently based in London.
The drawings feature the same style as Nike Netherlands concepts by Emre Gultekin
What makes us sure that Emre created the Glasgow Rangers 2020-2021 jerseys is that they feature the same style and format as other work from Emre Gultekin such as Nike Netherlands concepts.
Emre Gultekin has been working the past ten years for different sports brands and companies. He started his professional work in the sportswear industry for Turkish brand Lescon Spor, while he is currently employed by Fanatics. Fanatics is the world's biggest sports retailer.
Emre Gultekin already created many popular kits for English clubs
Emre Gultekin already created many famous and fans' favorite kits for brands as freelancer, including the Kappa Aston Villa 19-20 third kit and the Hummel Charlton Athletic 2017-18 kit.
Rangers 20-21 Kits: Leak Authenticity: 50%
While we are sure that the Rangers kits have been created by Emre Gultekin, it is not certain that they are the actually jerseys. They could also be design proposals for Castore.
The leak surfaced very shortly after the first Castore Rangers rumors
In fact, the many product pics of the Castore Rangers collection surfaced very, very shortly after the first Castore Rangers rumors and the announcement, which makes it almost impossible that Emre created them after the deal was announced.
All in all, we think that there are only two chances of what they are: the actual kits or design proposals.
