MJD7 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I agree with @TBGKon in thinking that monochrome generally looks best with the darkest & lightest colors, vibrant middle shades are usually a bit much, Cleveland’s red & Baltimore’s orange being prime examples. Of the monochrome uniforms MLB has had recently, specifically within the City Connect program, I think Arizona, Colorado, Houston, and both Chicago teams work because they’re either really dark or really light. The Dodgers, on the other hand, seem to be a bit much because their shade is more in the middle ground. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Couple questions here. When did the Rangers switched from light blue to royal blue on their alt jersey trim? Also, do we know if they dropped their awful light blue alts considering Nike new rule? Edit: They dropped the red jerseys and kept the light blues. Terrible choice... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2023/02/24/out-with-red-in-with-new-a-quick-history-of-rangers-uniforms-and-the-next-era/%3foutputType=amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their 2020 makeover, it looked like the Rangers were trying to embrace light blue as a team color in a sense. Now with it absent from the striping, you would think the team is trying to erase the color from their scheme overall. But if the light blue alts are still in rotation, the choice to eliminate the light blue striping becomes questionable. Is it a team color or not? Texas needs to make up its mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're saying light blue is not a primary team color. And, like the other teams that have recently added powder blue uniforms, save for the Rays and Royals, it was more as it's prior use in the 70s and 80s as a base uniform color like white and gray. Purely for throwback reasons, even if used with current branding. I'm also of the belief that the dropping of the red jersey hints that the future City Connect uniform will possibly be predominantly red-based, and so they decided to keep the previous color allotment intact (white, gray, royal, red, powder blue), just with a different red one. 3 https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's high time to retire the '83s and make these the new Sunday throwbacks: For my money, one of the best uniforms in baseball history, and the team actually won a championship wearing them. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget watching you guys sweep Boston on the Diamondvision at the Stadium... before watching Randy Johnson and a relief spot by Al Leiter cough Game 2 up to the Angels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
