The 1957 Texas Rangers “Blue Bottle Cap” Badge was issued to the Rangers and featured blue enamel paint on polished metal. The badge was created by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
It’s said that most Rangers were not happy with the result because it was too severe a break from the traditional frontier designs. That’s probably why it was soon replaced by the 1962 Texas Rangers badge, which is actually based on a Cinco Peso Mexican silver coin.
