"April 21 is a vital date in the history of Texas baseball."

 

There are like a dozen follow-ups possible to that.

 

What?

Why?

Is any date a vital date?

What history of Texas baseball?

Is there a single person that hears April 21 and it triggers some 'oh yeah, that's the day [something something texas baseball]'

THE DAY TEXAS GAINED INDEPENDENCE AND IS COMMEMORATED EVERY YEAR AS SAN JACINTO DAY.

APRIL 21, 1868

Word, yo. Are the Rangers marketing to the Crips or Bloods with these unis? /noracist

 

Good googly moogly. The demographics they are targeting in that ad are beyond me, I wonder if the data and analytics are saying that those demos (cholas and neck tattoos and urban/graffiti afficionados over a narration by a k104 DJ) are what will fuel the growth and revenue of the Rangers and baseball?

That said, I agree that the Rangers uniforms have always sucked from a design perspective and I don't like the baby blue or throwback either. I guess give me the Red-and-White from the Kenny Rogers/Rusty Greer/Will Clark/Tom Heinke era.

The first reported baseball game in the Houston area was played on April 21, 1868, when the Houston Stonewalls shellacked the Galveston Robert E. Lees 34-5 on the San Jacinto Battleground before a crowd of more than 1,000 people.  While no formal leagues existed at the time, the game was billed as a "state championship game."

very near and dear to my heart as a rangers fan.

The baby blues are okay, IMO, but they'd be better with their standard blue caps. Rangers word mark should be blue, too, bc the white gets washed out.
