History

1972
With double knit-fabrics in vogue, the Rangers became the first Major League team to have never worn the old flannel fabrics. The Rangers nickname was derived from a historic tradition in the Texas and appeared on the chest of the home and road jerseys. The home jerseys were white with red, white, and blue trim on the sleeves and neckline. The road uniforms were gray and featured the same trim as the home jerseys. 

1975
The first modification to the uniforms came in 1975. Both the home and road jerseys were changed to be a pull-over with a couple of buttons. The home white jersey continued the same original look. The new look road jersey was powder blue with the name Texas in red, white and blue capital letters. The trim on both jerseys continued to be red, white, and blue. 

1976
The first sleeve patch was introduced on both the home and road jerseys on the left sleeve. It celebrated the bicentennial of the United States. The patch showed the State of Texas on a shield in red, white, and blue with 1776 and 1976 around it and the team name above. The road jersey logo was changed. The Texas was trimmed down to duplicate the upper and lower case style of Rangers on the home jersey. 

1977
In 1977, the bicentennial patch was modified and the years were removed. It was moved to the right sleeve. The Danny Thompson memorial patch was worn on the left sleeve of both jerseys. The Rangers honored Danny Thompson by wearing a memorial patch with the number 4 and a black band. Bert Blyleven and Danny Thompson had been traded from the Minnesota Twins to the Texas Rangers on June 1, 1976. Danny had been playing with leukemia since he was diagnosed during a preseason physical in 1973. He finished out the 1976 season with the Rangers, but unfortunately passed away on December 10, 1976 at the age of 29. 

1978
The Rangers patch was worn on the left sleeve of the home jerseys and the right sleeve of the road jerseys.  

1981
The pullover jerseys ended after 1980. Both jerseys reverted back to full button up. The white home jersey featured a new patch on the right sleeve. It was circular and contained the letters TR and a baseball on top of the state of Texas that was colored blue. The powder blue road jersey featured this patch on the left sleeve.

1982
The only change was to the road powder blue jersey. The circular patch moved from the left sleeve to the right sleeve. 

1983
There was a dramatic redesign on the jersey fronts during this season. On the home whites, the "Rangers" name was displayed in large blue capital letters and a version of the team's insignia was placed under the left breast. The sleeve and neck trim continued to be red, white, and blue. The road jersey was solid blue with white capital "Texas" across the chest with the same insignia. The sleeve and neck trim was blue, white, and red. 

1984
This season brought another new look. The "Rangers" name was restyled in a slanted script for, blue with a red outline. The player's number was displayed on the front of the jersey for the first time in team history. It replaced the team insignia from 1983, which was made smaller and placed on the left sleeve. The two road jerseys were solid blue and solid red. This is the first year there were three jerseys used in the year. 

1985
The Rangers used the same three uniforms (white, navy blue, red) as 1984 and added a new gray uniform. This gray uniform was rather plain with both the neck and sleeve trim being removed. They featured "TEXAS" across the chest in blue block letters.

1986
This year the Rangers had a white home jersey and a gray road jersey. Both were using the "Dodger look" which was considered a cleaner look. Neither jersey had neck trim, sleeve trim, or sleeve patches. The home jersey had a slanted script Rangers along with the player's number. The road jersey was the same as 1985.  

1987 - 1991
The jerseys remained the same as 1986 with the only change being the addition of the manufacturer to the right sleeve. No patches or trim during this time. 

1992
The jerseys were the same as the previous years, but the manufacturer changed from Rawlings to W.A. Goodman & Sons. They had no manufacturer logo on the sleeves.  

1993 
The jerseys continued to be the same as 1992 with the addition of an Arlington Stadium 1972 - 1993 diamond patch on the left sleeve. In late August through the end of the year, the initials HEC were added to the right sleeve of both jerseys to honor former Texas Rangers owner H.E.(Eddie) Chiles who passed away on August 22, 1993. 

1994
The lineup for 1994 was a white home jersey and a gray away jersey. The white jersey featured Rangers across the front, a Texas Rangers Baseball star diamond patch on the left sleeve, a Rawlings logo on the right sleeve, with the uniform being trimmed in red. The gray jersey featured TEXAS across the front, nothing on the left sleeve, the Rawlings logo and an MLB 125th anniversary patch on the right sleeve. The Rangers wore a Washington Senators striped throwback on May 8, 1994. 

1995
The only changes from 1994 to 1995 were a 1995 All Star game patch added to the right sleeve of both. The Texas Rangers Baseball star diamond patch was on the left sleeve of both. There were no special use jerseys this year. 

1996, 1998, 1999
The Rangers wore the same white and gray jerseys as 1995 without the All Star game patch on the right sleeve. On April 21, 1996, the Rangers wore the Turn Back the Clock jersey that was originally worn on July 4, 1993. 

1997
The lineup was the same jerseys as 1996, but had a Jackie Robinson 50th year anniversary patch on the right sleeve. Starting on September 9, 1997 and for the rest of the year, the jerseys featured an "MH" on the right sleeve to honor Texas Rangers broadcaster Mark Holtz who passed away from leukemia on September 7, 1997.
