Road Grays See a Couple of Minor Tweaks

The road grays have actually been my favorite jersey for the Rangers over the past few seasons. The blue letters outlined in white and red looked really good to me and I’m partial to the neutral colors of gray and white more often than not, powder blue aside. This uniform didn’t need much changed and Texas kept it relatively the same with some minor adjustments.

The road grays got the same piping and accent updates all jerseys did with red, white and blue piping down the pants and around the sleeves. This is an old-school looking feature that adds some color to the road grays while keeping a classic look classic. The name and number on the back got the same update that all the jerseys did which opts for a single color outline with the third color as almost a shadow rather than the standard double outline we saw in the old jerseys. They’ll only be worn with blue hats as normal but will all uniforms, Texas has done away with black belts in favor of ones that match the hat. That adds a little color to the whole look.

Grade: B+
