The Texas Rangers announced their City Connect uniforms, an homage to the creation of the team in Arlington and the history of baseball in the region.
The uniform is primarily cream-colored and features a gothic TX for the state's initials, which is influenced by the gothic lettering of the Dallas Eagles, a minor league team in the Texas League between 1949 and 1957. It also features a spur, a tribute to the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs, a minor league team in the Texas League from 1965 through 1971.
The Rangers wanted to pay tribute to Arlington mayor Tom Vandergriff, who hoped to bridge the baseball rivalry between Dallas and Fort Worth by bringing a MLB team to Arlington, halfway in between the two cities.
