Can't believe I'm actually in favor of more navy, but in both cases, it would work out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia gets me too...but not here. The late 80s were a better look for the Rangers, IMO. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

WavePunter Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I wouldn't call that a blue team with red trim.. That's about as even as it gets.. Striping - equal parts red/blue, cap - blue crown with red brim (70% blue/30% red), jersey wordmark - red with blue trim (70% red/30% blue).. It's pretty even.. Perhaps the stirrups give a slight edge to blue, but there's no way that's a clearly blue team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 That word mark is great. Like I said, slap that and the modern cap logo onto that 70s-era uniform that was posted, and it's great. And would give the AL West a blue team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Yeah, the giant striping has to go, but I'm in favor of a royal/red balance for the Rangers, edge to royal blue. No more black. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 They should put a big "TEXAS!" Wordmark on they pants a la the Browns.

SFGiants58 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I just want to see this logo make a comeback in some way:Whether or not the team is red-dominant or blue-dominant doesn't matter, just as long as they don't mix the blue wordmarks/numbers/NOB with red caps/undershirts/socks (the inverse is OK, but not ideal). While we're at it, the team should also entertain the idea of dropping black belts.

TheOldRoman Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Yeah, the giant striping has to go, but I'm in favor of a royal/red balance for the Rangers, edge to royal blue. No more black.The Rangers finally removed the black last season. They kept the same wordmarks and numbers, just eliminating the drop shadows. But I agree on the hat. The Cubs looked bad in the old road caps, and would look even worse if they did that with their new lighter blue. The Rangers should bring back red-billed caps for home and road, put RANGERS on the home jerseys, and remove the center white outline from all jerseys. That would allow them to keep wearing the blue and red jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltjets21 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The Astros uniforms are way too boring...they should have just re-colored the old uniforms in navu and orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The old uniforms were bad. The font was bad, the wordmarks were bad. They weren't worth recoloring.The Astros booted this rebrand, but the logos are great and at least they're wearing the right colors. They could keep the current wordmarks, just use a standard block for the NOB, go to a traditional different number font, lose the road cap, and throw a shooting star over the wordmarks. Those few changes alone would take their set from "meh" to one of the best in baseball, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRicSlick Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 What the Astros should really do is make orange the primary color and demote navy to secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 In no way is the current MS Word clip art star the Astros use better than the last two cap logos they had. I absolutely hated the switch back to navy and orange at first but I'm beginning to warm up to it a bit. The logo, though? Nope. That thing still sucks. In fact, with all the bevels, it's even worse now. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

It could be used for any team name. It would be fine for little league or for a company softball team. Whereas the one in the picture above evokes an Old West imagery. It particularly fits a team called "Texas Rangers". It's a beautiful and memorable Major League mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H is nice and I think it's a nice update of the logo the franchise used for about 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
