Few teams in baseball have a lineup of uniforms as vibrant as the Texas Rangers.

The many variations of red, white, and blue (uncoincidentally, the state’s flag colors) are a symbol of the Rangers’ Texas roots.

In 2020, the Rangers updated their uniforms, introducing a line of jerseys with a script “Rangers” written across the chest and a new powder blue.

So out of the newest collection of uniforms, which are our favorites? Let’s rank them.

Ranking Texas Rangers uniforms: #4- The road grays

These aren’t special.

Every team seemingly has a road gray uniform, and this variation, along with the blue and red ones with block “TEXAS” lettering are essentially holdovers from pre-2020.

It’s just a plain baseball uniform. Really not much to say or like about it.

Ranking Texas Rangers uniforms: #3- Red Fridays at home

Much like the road grays, the red uniforms with block lettering are holdovers from pre-2020, except for one main difference: the “TX” and state background on the caps.

The hats are really what give this uniform an extra touch of personality, but I personally am a fan of the color red. There’s more character to this uniform than the road grays, which puts it in third place. But again, not much has changed with this uniform concept since before the overhaul in 2020.

And who doesn’t like a Friday night spent at the ballpark? These uniforms are only worn at Friday home games, which make them rarer as well. This keeps the look fresh and exciting. But these aren’t the cream of the crop as far as I’m concerned.

Ranking Texas Rangers uniforms: #2- Primary home

You can’t go wrong with the primary home uniforms. White is always a clean look and matches well with both the red “T” cap and the blue “T” cap, making it versatile like Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the field. The script “Rangers” logo also looks clean in blue with a red outline, and don’t sleep on the blue and red stripes going down the pant leg and across the end of the sleeves.

Personally, I prefer the script style to the blocky “TEXAS”, though I do understand the significance of wearing the state name on your chest.

Texas wears this color combination most often during the season, so it does lack in that “rarity” element that the Red Fridays have, but the Rangers have always had a white home uniform, so keeping up with tradition is weighed heavily in these rankings.

But there’s one uniform that stands above the rest.

Ranking Texas Rangers uniforms: #1- Powder blues

Nothing tops the powder blues.

These are by far my favorite of the 2020 uniform updates. Powder blue is a great color for a baseball uniform, and quite historic (the Phillies and Cardinals have great powder blues, for example).

They’re only worn on Sunday home games, which gives them the rarity factor of the Red Fridays, but also incorporate the script “Rangers” across the front. Powder blue pants go perfectly with a powder blue top. Oh and the powder blue “T” cap? That’s the icing on the cake.

Texas doesn’t call these their “Sunday Best” for nothing, after all!

Sunday is a great day to spend at Globe Life Field, and now that the Rangers have an air-conditioned stadium, afternoon games aren’t the heat slog they once were.
