The Texas Rangers unveiled their new “Tejas” jerseys as part of Major League Baseball and Nike’s City Connect alternate uniform series, where teams design apparel inspired by their city’s culture and background. The uniforms draw from the state’s Hispanic roots, including the motto “¡Viva Tejas!” and references to Tejano culture.

The jerseys return to an old Rangers tradition of wearing red. In the 1990s, the team featured a bright red hue as a primary color for the uniforms. Over the decades, the red outfits became exclusively reserved for Friday home games until the franchise ended the tradition in 2022. The new alternates revive the tradition with a twist –  a darker crimson color based on the sacred dye of the Aztecs and Mayans from the cochineal insect. Also returning to the hat and jersey is the large block-letter font from the team’s founding in the 1970s and 80s.

The uniform details include many homages to the Hispanic background of the state. The collar and sleeve piping are the charro pattern commonly found on Mexican horseman suits and mariachi band outfits. On the sleeve is a papel picado, Mexican folk art made from tissue paper, featuring a Texas outline. Finally, the belts are vaquero-inspired with the charro pattern, while the pants are a traditional white with red piping on the sides.

Previously, the Rangers’ City Connect uniforms paid homage to the former minor league teams that inhabited the metroplex, the Dallas Eagles and Fort Worth Panthers. The “Peagle” jersey – named for the logo combining the two mascots, is now retired. The Rangers will debut the new look on Friday, April 24, against the Athletics at Globe Life Field, and wear the alternates on every Friday home game for the rest of the 2026 season, ushering in a new era that blends the franchise’s past with the culture of its home state.
