Texas Rangers new uniforms for the 2020 season boast a pop of color

That powder-blue is certainly eye-catching.

Texas Rangers

In sports fashion news, the Texas Rangers have a new set of uniforms in anticipation of their move to Globe Life Field for the 2020 season.

Globe Life Field is their new stadium, and is scheduled to open in March 2020. So no wonder there are new uniforms. It's like when you go to a new school.

The 2020 uniforms mark the first changes in the Rangers' uniforms since 2014. Prior to that change, the last uniform alteration was in 2009.

The uniforms were unveiled on December 4 at Live! by Loews-Arlington with Rangers manager Chris Woodward and five players — Willie Calhoun, Shin-Soo Choo, Delino DeShields, Joey Gallo, and Jose Trevino — modeling the new looks.

The complete lineup includes:

three home jerseys
two road jerseys
a new spring training jersey

Even a jersey for spring training? Remember when there used to be "home" and "away"? Life was so simple then.

The primary home white jersey will feature the return of the script "Rangers" on the front for the first time since 1993, and is also the first time that "Rangers" has appeared on the home jersey front in any font since 2008.

In addition, the club is introducing a powder blue alternate home uniform that will be worn for Sunday games in 2020, which also features the script "Rangers" on the front. The only prior time the club has ever worn powder blue jerseys and pants was as its primary road uniform from 1975-82.

The new secondary logo features a white block "TX" outlined with the State of Texas. It will appear on the front of that new blue spring training jersey, as well as other "branding applications." The Rangers' primary circle T logo remains unchanged.

Here's all the details on each of the new uniforms:

Primary Home: White jersey with blue and red piping on sleeves. "Rangers" in blue script lettering with red outline on front of jersey. Player name in block lettering and number in blue with red outline on back of jersey. White pants with blue and red piping. Can be worn with all blue cap with white block T and red outline and blue belts/socks OR all red cap with white block T and blue outline and red belts/socks.

Alternate Home (to be worn on Friday games): Red jersey with blue and red piping on sleeves. "TEXAS" in white block lettering with blue outline on front of jersey. Player name in block lettering and number in white with blue outline on back of jersey. White pants with blue and red piping. Red cap with TX in white block lettering and blue outline and blue bill and button. Red belts and socks (TX logo).

Player name in block lettering and number in white with red outline on back of jersey. Powder blue pants with blue, white, and red piping.

Player name in block lettering and number in blue with red and white outline on back of jersey. Gray pants with blue, white, and red piping. All blue cap with white block T and red outline. Blue belts and socks.

Player name in block lettering and number in blue with red and white outline on back of jersey. Gray pants with blue, white and red piping. All blue cap with white block T and red outline. Blue belts and socks (TX logo).

Spring Training: Blue jersey with powder blue, white, and red piping on sleeves. New secondary TX logo on left front of jersey. Player name in block lettering and number in white with red outline on back of jersey. White pants with blue and red piping. Blue cap with block T containing red, white, and blue design with red bill and button. Blue belts and socks.

All six jerseys will feature the Texas flag patch on the left sleeve. All five regular season jerseys also include the Globe Life Field Inaugural Season patch on the right sleeve.

The Rangers have also updated the outline for the names and numbers on the back of each jersey to a drop shadow design. Nike will be the official manufacturer of Major League Baseball uniforms for the first time in 2020.

And here's the important part: Merchandise with the new uniform designs, including jerseys and caps, is now on sale at the Grand Slam Gift Shop at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
