DEAD! Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I think they unveiled it a year or two ago. It's an alternate logo. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Uh, yeah, that's not new, they wear it as a sleeve patch on the black alternates. And IMO it is ugly and unoriginal. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 you can also see it on the sleeve of their road jersey's undershirt. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Its been their alt since 2002 it came with the added black to their color scheme www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCScout76 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Uh, yeah, that's not new, they wear it as a sleeve patch on the black alternates. And IMO it is ugly and unoriginal.I beg to differ - The logo, though similar to Milwaukee and San Diego Padres (before this year's new logo). I really like it, used as the primary logo now for any offical announcements or when Tony Pena is doing his post game interviews.But hey, I'm a Royals fan. And if they shaved a dog's butt and had it walk backwards with the logo on it - I'd still love it!  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well the Royals traditional Logo they have had since 1969 is a terrific logo and there is no reason to replace it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I think the modernisation of the primary logo was a good one... but as has been discussed this logo has been the Royals alt logo since 2002. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net  "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 As a public service, I thought I'd provide a quick review of the variations of the KC Royals' logos since 1969:1969-1992:1993-2001:Note the change to a Metallic Gold - this coinsided with the change to the MLB moving to vector graphics for their logos.2002-present:The addition of Black, plus a different shade of Blue accompanied the change to making "KC" more prominent.Secondary Logo - 2002-present:For some reason, the Royals thought they needed to add Light Gray and Red to their color scheme.

Chazberg Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well, as with all logos that feature a ball, I don't really consider the red in the stitching to be one of their official colors, kinda like how the brown in the faces of the Blackhawks' and Redskins' Indians aren't really part of their official scheme. I do like the update of the shield with the bigger "KC", but I just have a burning hatred for adding black to schemes as a quick-fix modernization. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Their 1969-1992 logo was the best had the best colors in it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I love that secondary. It's just a traditional baseball mark... It can't look bad... Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 It's too generic for my tastes. Nothing distinctly "Royals" about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well, as with all logos that feature a ball, I don't really consider the red in the stitching to be one of their official colors, kinda like how the brown in the faces of the Blackhawks' and Redskins' Indians aren't really part of their official scheme. I know what you're saying, but personally I consider EVERY color to be part of the "official" scheme. Teams DO list all of these as official colors, even if some publications don't.For example, Red, Blue and Gray are most certainly part of the Pittsburgh Steelers' color scheme - in fact, the Steelers have tweaked the actual Pantone colors of the Blue and Gray a bit over the years. And, the Redskins' darker Burgundy in the face has changed as well.Curiously, someone on another thread referred to the Florida Marlins as (I'm paraphrasing) "de-emphasizing the Orange in their color scheme in recent years". When in actuality, the only Orange that's ever been in their color scheme is in the stitching of the ball in their primary logo. What happens, is that manufacturers of team products pick up that the Marlins have Orange in their color scheme, and produce merchandise with that color prominently in it. Same goes for the Arizona Cardinals' Yellow, the Milwaukee Brewers' Brick, the Seattle Mariners' Red, etc.What I try to do in my "Team Colors" lists on my SSUR.org site, is to break down the color scheme into definitive Primary Colors, Secondary Colors, Accent Colors, and so on. More often than not, teams list all of their colors on an equal basis - in fact the Mariners list Red FIRST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriqjaffe Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 ...in fact the Mariners list Red FIRST. I think that's them hinting that their TATC uniforms are really the look they're going to go for:Eek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 The Mariners would look awfully bad in red. I can't believe that would even consider it.

txhockeyfan Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 First, let me introduce myself. My name is Johnny, but you can call me TxHockeyFan. I am a sports logo enthusiast, and I have lurked here on this message board for some time. I hope that I can contribute some information and opinions concerning sports logos.I have a comment to make concerning the history of the Kansas City Royals logo. On some of the older representations of said logo, the "Royals" script is much smaller in proportion to the top part of the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
