White Jerseys

Now this is the change I’d most like to see. I love these uniforms despite the fact that I’m not old enough to actually remember watching the Rangers wear these. Obviously the font could be updated to the current text but I am adamant that the Rangers should bring back the white unis with red piping and lettering. These are classic Texas Rangers and evoke the old western style that  represents the namesake of the club. Now you may want to add a bit more blue to the accents so you can continue to use blue helmets.

As an alternate to the late 90’s version, Texas could also use this white jersey as inspiration. This would probably be a bit more versatile in terms of using both blue and red helmets slash hats. Also shoutout to my favorite player of all-time, Hank Blalock.
