They may have Rangers in the name but it turns out that London outfit Queen‘s Park Rangers used to play in Celtic-style green and white Hoops.
A full century has passed since QPR last wore green and white hoops, so what better time to dust it down for their newly released third kit.
They wrote: “The R’s will enter the season in style with the return of the green and white hoops – an alternative look rooted in tradition but refreshed for the present day.
“A shirt that connects our rich past with our ambitions for the future.”
Club historian Chris Guy said: “This design marks an important milestone in celebrating our club’s history.
“The period between 1892 and 1926, during which these colours were worn, was an important chapter in our proud heritage.”
QPR boss Julian Stephan has a squad which boasts the likes of former Celtic star Karamoko Dembele and Liam Morrison.
They recently beat Rangers to the signature of Kwame Poku while Moroccan star Ilias Chair is another key man.
Asked why he chose the Loftus Road side over Russell Martin’s men, Poku said: “I think speaking to the manager, and speaking to everyone here, the project they are building here excites me and I want to be part of taking QPR to the next level.
“When I was speaking to Julien Stephan he was talking about where he sees me fitting in and where he thinks I can influence the game.
“That’s what really attracted me.
“Being 23 turning 24, I’m not quite young anymore so I want to come in and make my mark from the jump.”
