The Ranger's City Connect...does not connect. Let' see, how 'bout connect, "TEXAS RANGERS!" Or, Red River, or Stock Yards. Hell, you could even include a longhorn for that matter.

They wanted to connect through baseball, which exactly what happened by connecting the Fort Worth Cats, Dallas Eagles, and DFW Spurs.
Why didn't the Astros incorporate the Colt .45s into their city connect uniform???
Point being is there are many ways it could have gone. There will be another city connect uniform in 2026 that they have already started designing

You know the Colt 45s are the Astros. It's the same franchise.
I guess the Braves should take the "A" off their City Connect since Astros starts with "A". Everyone wants to be Houston.

I can appreciate the idea. However, it's City Connect, which in my opinion, the Ranger's Organization chose poorly.Mr Gigem said:

On the other hand, Houston connected with "Space City." It's not necessarily about baseball, although it could in a few instances.

There have been some dumb posts on both sides of the argument….but this takes the cake

Boston connected to another sporting event. Houston connected to its space history. Colorado, San Francisco, Anaheim, and Washington connect to local nature and geography. Chicago White Sox apparently connect to the city's architecture (SF does also, with the bridge). Kansas City, Milwaukee, and the Chicago Cubs went with community ties. While there are some jerseys that connect to a city's baseball history (see Miami, for example), a large portion so far do not.
I like the stockyards idea.

Seattle's got leaked and they knocked it out of the park with theirs. A connection to their area, some throwback (Pilots) elements, a fantastic color scheme, and a nod to their broadcaster's catchphrase

I wouldn't say knocked it out of the park but there's nothing wrong with these.
I think they're kinda boring looking with nothing that really stands out but other than that they're pretty good.

Off the top of my head here are some things they could have incorporated or riffed on
Horse racing track
Gambling/casino
The mineral water fountain
An oil derrick

I think most of you are missing the boat, here.
MLB's perennial minor league team created a jersey that is itself as an ode to minor league teams.
What's not to love, there?

I'm not sure what you're point is, but that jersey would fit a clown in a clown show!fc2112 said:JoeAggie1010 said:But not for all the right reason...Mr Gigem said:Well you're talking about it, so mission accomplished I guessJoeAggie1010 said:I can appreciate the idea.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

The rangers should have just listed every one of the cities, townships and villages in the suburbaplex and then had a cowboys star, the texas giant, and a leased bmw
I find it fascinating so many Astros fans need to bag on the Ranger's uniforms. Meanwhile, none of the Ranger's fans care one way or another about Houston's.
Houston fans seem to hate the D/FW teams - meanwhile, D/FW fans, as usual, don't ever much think about Houston.
Even after winning 1.5 world championships, seems Houston fans still have that inferiority complex going. So weird.

Uh one of the first posts was making fun of the Astros unis as regular Astros uniforms. Another that it had no thought going into it.
Yeah, the ragging on these from stros fan has been over the top, from a stros fan. But acting like it's a one way "inferiority complex" is laughable

We bag on your stadium because it's objectively terrible. Many of your own fans feel the same way.
We bag on your City Connect Unis because they are objectively terrible. Many of your own fans feel the same way.
We bag on your lack of post season success because it's objectively terrible. Many of your own fans feel the same way.
Where is the inferiority complex you speak of?

The literal first reply to the OP is making fun of the Rangers uni
Again, I never said Astros fans weren't bagging on these. I said that poster was wrong when saying zero rangers fans were hating on the Astros city connect unis
And if I cared enough to find the thread with the unveiling of the Astros city connect uniforms I guarantee you there would be rangers fans posting and making fun of them. Almost like it's a message board and fans of opposing teams are giving jabs back and forth

Here's the post in question regarding the Astros uniforms looking the same as the city connect
Funny how the poster conveniently left out these. Look pretty similar to me

I think it's ok. Not the best but not even close to the worst. I appreciate the thought that went into the design. I didn't like Houston's for what it's worth. Zero thought to it and Didn't look much different than their normal jerseys.
These look pretty different to me.

I'm not trying to argue with you either. I know you have been even sided in this thread

Ah, yes. The arrogant sip response. You care enough to hit your knees and beg for anyone but the Astros to win the WS. I can go find Ranger fan quotes from your thread that prove this.
Enjoy your new unis, but don't be dishonest.
Universal experience for anyone that grew up in DFW:
Cheers for local teams and support Houston teams growing up.
Goes to college and meets Houston team fans.
Never supports Houston teams again.
Honestly if yall were just normal people when it comes to sports you'd have a lot more support around the state.

And my experience is the opposite. I always rooted for the cowboys until I met cowboys fans in college.
Every game they win my social media is flooded with "where the haters at now!!!!"
Oddly enough, never seen posts by these "haters" when they lose.
For the rangers, I've always hated them but it was more of a logistics thing then anything else. I grew up in STX and if the rangers game was on it pissed me off because that meant I wasn't watching the Astros that night.

It is what it is, but I'm a Rangers and Cowboys fan living in Houston. My feed is flooded with posts from Texans fans every time the Cowboys lose. It was the same several years ago when the Texans were going to the playoffs and the Cowboys weren't. I see more posts about the Cowboys from these people than they ever make about the Texans.
Difference being social media interaction vs actual in person d-baggery. Have a ton of great friends from Houston that I cannot talk sports with or enjoy a game with because of it. It really is sad
Very sad indeed
Literally every fan base in sports has asshats, good fans, and everything in between. Doesn't matter if it's the Astros, rangers, aggies, longhorns, Texans, cowboys, etc.
For every houston fan you know that sucks (or isn't "normal" whatever that means) someone could point out a Dallas fan they know that equally sucks. To act otherwise is pretty silly.
Yes, same even for the longhorns.
But I'm over this derail. Yall carry on.

Weird. I had the complete opposite experience dozens of times.
Yet another thread on the baseball board ruined by obsessed Houston fans
