Ah, okay, they’ll be dressing like laid-off auto workers next season.

That’ll work.[/quote]

Coming off an oh-fer, I’d change the players first.
But that’s just me.

Anybody recognize anyone from the Carolina League All-Star game picture? I see Bret Boone, Paul Sorrento and Brian Hunter (also Nolan Lane but only because he was a former teammate of mine the next year in the Fla. State League) but I don’t recognize any other players. I guess success in Single-A doesn’t necessarily translate.

Oops, mean fabric

Question: Does anyone (Paul, or otherwise)know if New Era has altered the fabic blend on the “new” on field caps? Reason I’m asking is I have a variety of them and when they first came out, they were a total bitch to break in, aka the “Fudd” look and the sweatband was very rigid. Now it seems with some of my recent purchases (Nats new alt, Nats Welcome Back Vets) they break in much easier (though not like the 100% wool ones)Anyone?

Ricko, those Rangers unis look sweet! Not a Rangers fan, but those are nice! Nice job with the Padres PCL post as well.

[quote comment="312172"][quote comment="312133"][quote comment="312129"][quote comment="312126"]search “Great Lakes” on that link[/quote]

like this then?[/quote]

Yessir. Change lettering to “Rangers” script. Current hat in navy with yellow-gold T with white drop shadow. Yellow-gold numbers edged in navy; navy NOB. Maybe yellow-gold Texas Ranger “star” trimmed in navy on left sleeve. Navy sleeves and stirrups. Black shoes. Interesting look. Sure not like anyone else.

Roads gray with yellow-gold “TEXAS” edged in navy on chest. Rest same.[/quote]

As a life-long Rangers fan, I would be totally ok with that change. It’s not like the team has any sort of tradition behind it (other than our fine tradition of losing). I get that people could say that the red, white and blue are the state colors, but really, who cares?

Of course, they can wear paper bags- if they start winning for once, I’m all for it.[/quote]

Did this in Paint, so not so swift, but it would look something like this. Pretty traditional in design, but the color scheme makes it a little different, anyway.
