14. Texas Rangers

They say everything’s bigger and bolder in Texas, and that’s certainly true of the Texas Rangers uniforms. With a bold red, white and blue color scheme and emphatic “TEXAS” and huge “T” on their hats and helmets, the Rangers make it clear they are proud to represent their state. It’s a style choice that probably only works in the state of Texas, and the Rangers lean all the way into it.

Let’s start with the uniforms and the “TEXAS” text. It’s styled to look like an old-fashioned sheriff’s badge and is well executed. There are other teams in the league using a similar font on their jerseys, but they don’t really have a reason to other than finding the appearance attractive. It actually works with the Rangers nickname. The “T” on the hats is even stronger, taking up much more space on the hat than most MLB logos.

The Rangers mix up their red, white and blue colors, never leaving one out of the equation in a given set of uniforms. They can mix in white, blue or red tops at home to go along with red or blue hats and helmets. Texas players who choose high socks can also go with red or blue depending on the day. The ability to mix and match keeps it interesting.

The look would not be complete without a Texas flag, which is featured as a patch on the team’s sleeves. Texas does have one of the best state flags in the country, and it looks great on the jersey. The Rangers haven’t been around as long as most teams in the league, so their uniforms lack some history, but they could climb the ranks as time passes.
