Shocking that those weren't well-received.

Texas Rangers scrap two-toned helmet
By ANTHONY ANDRO

SURPRISE, Ariz. — The much-maligned multicolor batting helmets the Texas Rangers
planned to debut this season will never see the field.

Team president Nolan Ryan said the Rangers scrapped the idea because the team wouldn’t be wearing red on the road, therefore eliminating the need for the red-and-blue helmets. It didn’t help that the two-toned helmet was panned by just about everyone.

"The reaction wasn’t good on it and we were surprised," Ryan said. "That weighed on the decision because they weren’t well received."

The Rangers will wear red helmets for 16 home games in red uniforms. They will wear blue helmets in the others.

That looks like a Power Rangers hat.

Honestly.......I think they're pretty cool. I'd be for them using the helmet.

I agree Hollywood, it does kind of remind one of a power ranger though

I was going to say, its pretty cool too but ohh well... it can't be as bad as the red sox powder blue jerseys

I wish the Padres would dump their softball alternate uniforms.

I also wish they'd change around their camouflage unis.

I like the idea, but they need some work.
