ARLINGTON, Texas — The Texas Rangers on Monday morning debuted their Nike City Connect jerseys at Globe Life Field. They were designed as a tribute to the history of baseball in the Metroplex.

According to the team, the winged beast that adorns the jersey is a “Peagle.” The creature represents two of Dallas-Fort Worth’s Minor League teams prior to the arrival of the Rangers in 1972: the Fort Worth Panthers and the Dallas Eagles.

The jerseys also celebrate the team’s history in Arlington, specifically the way Dallas and Fort Worth are brought together in Arlington.

“A gothic TX typography with a spur through it is prominently featured on the hat and jersey. The lettering is a nod to the Dallas Eagles, who used the same style on their caps,” the team explained on its official website. “The spur is a reference to the Dallas Fort-Worth Spurs, the Minor League team that broke records in the Texas League from 1965-71. The team played in Turnpike Stadium in Arlington, and that was the first time the two cities came together for baseball in the Metroplex.”

The uniforms will officially debut on the field Friday when the Rangers take on the Oakland Athletics. They’ll be worn periodically throughout the season.
