Here is Scott’s history of the formation of the club:

“I was trying to remember just this morning who actually came up with the name. It was either me or John Muller. One of us came up with the name and the other the color. See we were trying to integrate six teams with different names and colors. I wish I could boldly claim the name, but I think I may be responsible for the color. The name Rangers was chosen because of its ability to transcend soccer and Texas. Obviously Rangers in the Scottish league are well known even today, but back in 91, QPR was in the English top league and doing quite well and even had semi-American Roy Wegerle in their squad. Of course the Texas Rangers are a historical part of the state's history (no offense to baseball fans, but we were thinking of the law enforcement agency). We thought it was a nice touch - Texas and soccer together. The name was the easiest part of the formation. Everyone liked it. The color was tougher. The red team wanted red. The green team wanted green. We had no orange team. Always a fan of the Dutch, I proposed orange (not burnt orange) and it stuck. We believed (rightly so) that if you walked into a 200 team tournament, there wouldn't be much problem picking out the Rangers. I still like it. Nobody else has it.”

“The Rangers enjoyed great success with the ’77 team in particular earning a lot of honors. The ’77 team went to state every year and split the championships with the ’77 Capitals. By the time they graduated, the ’77 boys had played in something like twelve states against 28 teams from outside Texas. The ’81 RCR team was a national runner up in the indoor “Futsal” soccer game.”
