The concept is solid, a union of the history of Dallas-Fort Worth baseball before the Washington Senators moved to Arlington in 1972.

Only a Commie doesn’t like a cream jersey.

The Rangers debuted their new City Connect uniforms Friday night against the A’s and will wear them again Saturday for good measure. The City Connect uniforms will be the Rangers’ new Friday duds.

“I just want to win in them,” second baseman Marcus Semien said. “The uniform is great and all, but our main goal is to win.”
