Texas Rangers: Grading the new Nike uniforms for 2020

Powder Blues are Back, Baby!

We’ll start where your eyes probably took you first which is the re-introduction of the powder blue uniforms reminiscent of the ones worn in the 1970’s by the club. This was the biggest change by far because it was the introduction of a whole new uniform that wasn’t a part of the rotation for a long time. My instant reaction was a ton of excitement. I love the powder blue look and its popularity is rising across the baseball landscape. It’s a classic look that Texas did a good job modernizing with their new script font that they also introduced yesterday.

My love for the powder blues aside, I would change one or two things about the classic look. Texas opted for a two-tone look with the hat going for powder blue and the classic Rangers blue. The hat, with the jersey and the pants is a little much for me. The hat that used to be paired with this look was a two-tone royal blue hat with a red bill. It added some contrast that I think this look could use. If not the hat then at least opt for the white pants with the powder blue top. I love that they brought it back but it all is just a little much. I’d rather have this than nothing at all though. The powder blues will strictly be worn at home on Sunday games as I’m sure Texas tries to maintain a feel of something special around the return of a fan favorite.
