From the NEWBERG Report:
Back in September, Kinsler and Young and Hank Blalock told reporters that they were lobbying the organization to bring red back as the team's primary uniform color, even though none of them were with the Rangers when they ditched red in favor of the current blue. Texas's three playoff seasons came during the six years (1994 through 1999) in which they were in red. The club has yet to finish higher than third in the AL West since the switch to blue.
Rangers Executive Vice President of Communications Jim Sundberg told reporters yesterday that the Rangers may consider a switch to red as soon as 2009. It's a discussion that is expected to involve new Team President Nolan Ryan.
It's time to bring the red back.

I read this in his posting this morning. I also read what was in Dallas Morning News. It would make sense that I read it there, I do deliver the Dallas Morning News. (I don't know why the spell check isn't working.) And here is what the 'News said:
Jim Sundberg, the Rangers' new executive vice president of communications, said the team might consider bringing back red as its predominant color. "As we continue to try to build our brand, we've got several lingering issues that will play out over this year," Sundberg said. "That's one of them."
Now, I am not sure how Jamey got his information, but he is a VERY good source of information, so I believe it to be credible. I managed to contact the Rangers front office on this issue this morning, and they provided me with the leading uniform that might debut in 2009.
