Power Rangers Includes A Tribute To The Original Yellow Ranger

Power Rangers brought on actress Becky G to play the part of Trini in the live action reboot, but it turns out the movie also managed to honor the original Yellow Ranger in a very subtle way.

JLSProblemDog captured a screenshot from the movie that is actually a reference to Power Rangers history. At one point in the movie, Trini is wearing a gray shirt under her yellow jacket with the numbers 1973. That is actually a date, as 1973 was the year original Trini actress Thuy Trang was born (December 14th to be exact).

Trang sadly died in a car accident in 2001, but she is still beloved by Power Rangers fans all over the world, and this was a nice way of paying tribute to the former Yellow Ranger. Trang played the role of Trini for the first season of Mighty Morphin and half of the next season when she exited the show along with Austin St. John and Walter Emanuel Jones.
