Ez Street Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Royals about to pull plug on sleeveless uniforms for next seasonJEFFREY FLANAGANWe hear that those new-look Royals uniforms the club introduced for the 2002 season are about to go through another dramatic makeover.In fact, Royals vice president of communications David Witty confirmed the team is strongly considering abandoning the sleeveless uniforms, both home and away, as well as cutting back on the amount of the color black that was introduced in ?02.?We would like to get back to the more traditional look of the Royals,? Witty said. ?We tried something a few years ago, and now we feel we just got away from the Royals tradition a bit and want to get back to it.?The other problem with the look was with the sleeveless uniforms, you had players wearing short-sleeve or long-sleeve undershirts with them, and it just didn?t give a uniform look to the team.?There also have been whispers that the team was close to tossing out the black scheme altogether, and going with more gold.?I think we?ll be cutting back on the black, but it will still be a part of the plan,? Witty said. ?The new look we will have I?m sure will be very popular with the fans. It?s going to look a lot more like we used to look.? @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez Street Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 That's basically it in the article. There are other things not pertaining to the story. But it's exactly what is mentioned in the Star.I say GOOD! Even though I just bought a Sweeney Road Jersey. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 The Royals are really the only team I could forgive for bringing back a powder blue jersey. It just seems right for them.

Shmitt Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 That's good to hear. I loved those powder blues. I can only hope the Mets follow suit in exterminating the use of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesi427 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think the clubs that use A LOT of black should just reconsider how they are using black. The royals in this case are named after a color, or as AAO designed a while back, they could go more with the royalty angle, the lion a king some like that. Gold should definitely not be taken out as an accent color for the team. But royal blue should def be used more that it is.
