No more mascot?

So are we the Texas Texas now?  Every other MLB team uses their mascot for their home jerseys and where they are from on their road jerseys.  For example, for the Houston Astros, their Home jerseys should say Astros and road Houston.  To have Texas for their home and road jersey's now make it look like the Texas MLB team is now the Texas Texas.   I don't mind the red alternates, but to not use the Rangers anywhere on their jerseys is a mistake.  We need to start the petition,  Rangers need to be on the home uniforms unless they are wanting to change the mascot.  We might as well not have a mascot if it isn't on the home jerseys.

Eh

The Red jerseys are not “home” jerseys so this rant is misguided.

Granted, I don’t like that the whites say “Texas” as well, but it’s not THAT big a deal.

None of the Yankees jerseys have "Yankees"

but you know they are the Yankees. Stupid point.

Pretty sure the Cubs

It's not a stupid point. Those teams you just mentioned have been around three times as long as the Rangers.

I suppose the point being is that I’ve always responded to this lovable loser of a franchise as the ‘Rangers’, not ‘Texas’… and to see this brand removed from the catalog in exchange for more solid jersey tops is rather disheartening.

but those jerseys don’t say “new york” or “chicago” or “cinncinatti” on the front either. it’s more of a logo. I don’t think it would be as bad if the had just the T on their chest like the old sleevless

It was just the road sleeveless that looked like scraps from the fabric shop.

Anger

The problem with putting RANGERS on the front of the jersey is that the letters curve around and what you see from the front is ANGER.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

That's a better team name anyways

The Angers.

That's why they call them business sox

Pretty sure from reading Uni watch a few weeks ago...

that the Rangers are the only team that’s done this. I think Baltimore might have done it as well this year.

by rangers85 on Apr 7, 2009 7:41 AM CDT reply actions  

The Orioles were one of the few that had one name over everything.

They switched it up this year though. The new road grays say ‘Baltimore’ and is a good-looking uni I must say.
