Kansas City Royals 'City Connect' Uniform
The Kansas City Royals have released their special ‘City Connect’ uniform. The threads pay tribute to one of the most iconic symbols of Kansas City, the fountains that have always adorned KC as a gesture of welcomeness and openness around the city.
The two-toned jersey features a dark blue base with powder blue logos and accents. Details found on the jersey give a nod to Royals history as well as the city itself. The sleeves have a striping pattern that is similar to the jerseys from the 1980s. On the right sleeve an “R” with a crown has been placed, paying homage to the Royals’ original script. Found on the inside of the collar is the phrase “HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY” meant to honor the Royals’ victory song by Paul McCartney. The team even had special letters and number scripts chosen to represent the Art Deco style that in seen throughout downtown and midtown KC.
“This design is one that fans of any age can truly appreciate. From the fountains, that are a part of Kansas City’s heritage, to the colors of the jersey signifying the rich history of baseball and the Kansas City Royals. The uniform showcases the distinct elements of our community."-Royals chairman/CEO John Sherman
