MLB: Major League Baseball uniform power rankings
player. 7. . Est. 1969. American League Central. Kansas City Royals. 10
- Home Cap: 14th
- Home Jersey: 10th
- Road Cap: 14th
- Road Jersey: 7th
The Good: There is so much good about the Royals uniforms, it’s difficult to narrow it down. The crisp, clean home whites with only blue as a primary color are perfect, and the 2012 addition of the script “Kansas City” to the road grays looks great too. I even like the rarely used royal blue alternate with the KC logo on the chest.
The Royals made a earth shattering move in 2008 when they introduced a powder blue alternate jersey, which immediately became the best non-white or cream-colored alternate jersey in Major League Baseball and even improved in 2012 when the script “Royals” was switched from blue to white. Standard powder blue road uniforms have left the game, probably for good, but nobody wore them better or made them look like a natural uniform combination than the Royals did from 1973-91.
The Bad: The lone dark spot in the uniform history of the Kansas City Royals occurred from 2002 -05 when the club began using black on hats and alternate jerseys. Thankfully, the Royals ditched their experiment with the color black in 2006, and have since had a nearly perfect uniform.
Next: 9. Oakland Athletics
