DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Wow. The white, blue, and gray jerseys look great.Still with the black? Give me a break. I might have preferred the blue jerseys matching the blye in the patch, but I'm guess they either do and it's difficult to tell, or it's difficult to do. Kudos Royals. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kess Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 They're just....so beautiful.I really like the road script. I mean, really like it. Much better than the previous guesses that had been posted in this forum.And I still like the black alt. I'm not apologizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korkie Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I wish the black was gone, but it least it has been condensed to a road alt and not all over the other jerseys. I agree with the above comment about the shades of blue not matching. I really like that lighter shade and wish they would use that for the home alts, but then they wouldn't match the hats. Either way, they look good and I cannot wait to see the home whites in action.

TruColor Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Guys, guys, guys. The Blues DO match. It's the lighting. The sleeve patches are embroidered, and reflect light much more easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 So the black drop shadow on the "KC" is still there on the hats and patches? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Better. But there's no need for a small-market team like the Royals to put 4 jerseys on the market. Very few people are going to splurge on the whole set, anyway - give them home, road and 1 alternate, and end it there. The idea of an alternate is just that - a change of pace either home or away.That the "road alternate" doesn't have the "road script" on it only underscores this point. The Royals could wear their one alternate, in team colors, at home or on the road, since it too lacks the "Kansas City" script. So... why have a black alt at all? It's not in the team's principal colors, and it doesn't distinguish itself as a "road" alternate by not having the appropriate script. It looks even more out of place than it did before.EDIT: As pointed out by Gothamite and WSU, the road alt script does say "Kansas City". And I am a moron who sometimes misses the details, like what the letters spell. My bad, my apologies. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it...

My computer shows the "road alternate" as a black jersey with "Kansas City" - the road script - on it. What in the world are you talking about? Smart is believing half of what you hear.

VitaminD Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I was thinking of the old black alternates with "royals" on them. I didn't even notice they'd changed. Terribly, terribly sorry. Corrected in previous post with addendum. Feeling shame. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it...

Gothamite Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well, there was a report that one team was looking at a powder blue road. We all presumed it was the Royals, and maybe it was and they rejected the idea. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

slapshot Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I didn't mind Kansas City adding black as a trim, although the black alt should have been a blue one. I think now, the black alt looks out of place because there's no black anywhere else (except maybe the hats?).It's a lot cleaner, but feels like it's missing something. There's gold in the logo, but none on the uniforms, except for the patch. I think gold could have been added as a trim color, and the blue is light enough to not be confused with Milwaukee.I don't like the new script. I like the script in the style guide, but the one on the jersey looks different. The C in City really stand out, as does the odd-shaped dot over the I. It reminds me of a freeware script font, but I can't place the name.I think the entire identity needs an overhaul, at least a modernization. Not colorwise, but script-wise. The Royals script can stay, but make it bolder or something. "Kansas City" should go back to block lettering.

grmuckrakers Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm having trouble seeing this in the photos. Is the dot about the i in Kansas City a little crown? Kind of looks that way in the shot.Would be cool if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
