Home Whites get a Needed Update

For awhile now the Rangers have essentially had four different colors of the same jersey. All of them said ‘TEXAS’ across the front in the club’s proprietary font and while they evoked a consistent feel, they were a little bit boring. Additionally, none of the jerseys featured the team name which was frustrating to fans, myself included. That changed Wednesday when Texas debuted their update home white unis that saw a return to the ‘Rangers’ in script font.

The script font is updated slightly from the script they used in the past and while I like it, something about the colors seem a bit off. I think it’s the blue lettering with the red hat and red belt that throws me off. Luckily, the home whites can be worn with blue or red hats/belts and I think I’ll like it much more with the blue. Just a bit more continuity than the red accents.

Grade: B
