Perfect Zero Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 THAT'S THE HELMET???? WHAT THE HELL???? Why on Earth would they do this? What is this, minor league baseball??You know what TrueYankee 26? Go ahead and laugh at them with me. This is a sad, sad look for a team that was promising.

VandyDelphia Mike Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (cliché) Wow, Texas really screwed the pooch on these!

BBTV Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm surprised nobody mentioned the black belts / shoes. That's probably the second worst part of this change IMO (the first being the batting helmet.)

The_Admiral Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 The black belts and shoes don't bother me as much as other aspects of this. I figure black cleats go with anything. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I could live with their color scheme being Royal, Red, White, and Black. On some elements there is no Black and lots of Gray, on other elements there is no Gray and lots of Black. It doesn't make sense. It all seems pretty much slapped together.I agree...something about this color palette doesn't work for me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they do here.

wman Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I love how the red hat has returned. Probably because they had so many unsold in the team store. When I was at a game in Arlington in '07 they literally had tons of the 'old' red hats sitting around for sale as throwbacks. The best part was that as they were considered 'vintage' they jacked the price of them to a ridiculous $35. Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Danimal Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The Rangers should have changed their name to the Lone Star State Stars and featured a hat with one large star and a jersey with nothing but a number and one large star.Then we could talk about how classy that would look.

CZzyzx41 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 You know how some people take pre-existing logos, fonts and colors and they take about 10 minutes just shifting things around and they call that a concept? That's what someone just did to the Rangers uniforms. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

CubsFanBudMan Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I don't mind the return of the red cap or the simplicity of the red and blue alts (even with identical wordmarks), but I'm not a fan of using all "Texas," the crazy combo helmet, the black drop shadows (especially on the names), the new font or the black belts/shoes (although I understand a lot of it comes with the red/blue indecision).All that said, it's the Rangers, so I guess the risk-taking doesn't bother me as much as it would with a team with more tradition (Pirates now-dead red). Still, it seems like this could have been easily fixed/done better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk2512 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 i just watched the video....the helmets are discusting looking. yes the mets have two tone but it looks a thousand times better then that. having texas on every jersey looks retarded too. the names are too big/long on the back. the red actually looks better then the blue jerseys imo. i think they should add a blue with red birm hat for the road.

ferrousoxide66 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Still standing by my belief that "Dallas Chaparrals" would've been a cooler name than "Texas Rangers," but that train has left the station (since the ship can't sail; it's Dallas), unless someone wants to go to great lengths to purge George W. Bush's ownership and all of the mediocrity before/during/after that.Agreement on the Chaparrals name, but that's water under the bridge now.As far as the new uni set, I think it's fine - considering what they've got to work with... I do like the "Texas" on both home and road.My only beef remains the ridiculously tame "T on ball" primary logo that they've stuck with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrousoxide66 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Some photos and what have you.Truthfully, I thought it was a modest, if somewhat incomplete upgrade (with the return to red), until I fully saw the batting helmets in the video.http://www.wfaa.com/video/sports-index.html?nvid=324720Yikes.Forget the helmet, what's really got me irked are those fuggin' PANTS in a relaxed fit.

BBM Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Why did they need a red alt? Couldn't they have gone with a red themed either home or road jersey (ala Cardinals or Nationals), and still had the red cap and blue cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewPF Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I like the red jerseys, I almost made a red concept once...That never got off the ground.(and the CCSLC breathes a collective sigh of relief.) http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do?
