Royals Insider Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 The powder blue jerseys will look good with their white home pants. The University of North Carolina wears a similar combination and it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappital92 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 With KC doing the powder blue alts, could Toronto, Philly, and Minnesota could be far behind?Toronto: With the throwback alt next season, it could potentally happen in three-six years.Philly: Their Double-A team in Reading released a all powder blue alt, and with the '48 themed alt homes, a '80 themed road alt might make the scene.Minnesota: They already have two-three alts, but if they decide to rebrand when the new park opens....anything's possible.A potential darkhorse could be St. Louis, because they don't have an alternate, and maybe, just maybe, Seattle. The former Expos, the Nationals,have a powder blue jersey in my dreams. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltravisjr Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 The Royals are the only team that could do the full powder blue look and not look completely ridiculous.IMO, the all-time best powder:Obviously won't be seeing any throwback though LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not common in powder blues of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own one and it's my favorite jersey of all time. Of course, nostalgia may have something to do with it.I think it may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 White pants with powder blue jerseys will look stupid.And yet so many people love these:I think the issues that would arise from the Royals' throwback powder blue jersey with white pants will be corrected by the royal blue lettering they plan to use. These aren't true throwbacks, as some suggested, but a modernization of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCScout76 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Bah, royal blue should never mix with powder blue.IMO - The combo works well together. I would say that Navy Blue works even better. But again, it's just one man's opinion.I think there are teams that don't mix their colors well, The SD Chargers do a nice job.

FiddySicks Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 The thing that I feel is going to suck the worst is the fact that the jersey, pants, and hat will all be different colors. I absolutely hate that. it's my biggest pet peeve in football as well. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Am I right in thinking that the Cubs did them, too?

02Rover Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Cool. As a kid, I had one of those. Not sure how or why, but I loved that jersey and wore it til it was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too tight on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if not I feel that SOME element of the uniform has to match, wether it be the jersey and helmet, pants and helmet, jersey and pants, you get the general idea. Thats why teams like the Bills, Falcons, Florida Gators, ect ect usually look like crap to me.

edensker Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I fear powder blues making a full-fledged comeback. I recognize that I am in the minority, but I have always thought that they were ugly as sin. Back in the days when the powder blues were gradually being phased out by the various teams that wore them, I was doing cartwheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royals Insider Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 The Royals are also modifying the batting practice cap trim. I would assume that means they are removing the silver, since that isn't even a team color but I haven't seen a picture. Does anyone know anything else about this?
