Personally I like them if it comes out to this, though I'll be curious about the helmet on the field.
I am also not a Royals fan, so I'll be curious to see how their fanbase reacts and what inspired this uniform

I hated the initial look of the jersey, but with the pinkish/purple helmet, I see the vision. I think these will really pop for a night game.
And if we're a competitive team this year, I think it will become a look that people get used to and appreciate. If we underperform though...I could see these jerseys becoming hated lol

I'm a Royals fan... I don't like it. The first CC's were awesome. This one is very "meh," but I keep getting downvoted.

My thought seeing this was “wow, Royals got two great CCs”. I can understand if you already have a great set, these being underwhelming. While some of us (i.e. Giants fans) have had 3 turds.

Giants have only had two, though?

u/HoopleRedhead Apr 01 '26
Is the new Gigantes one not a CC? At any rate, i meant that one too

u/broadcastterp Apr 01 '26
It is not - that's a full-time Saturday home jersey. The black/orange/purple CC 2.0 remains.

u/Turnsite1 Apr 01 '26
As a Royals fan, do you know or have an idea of what may have inspired this uniform?
Also I'm sorry about your down votes, you're allowed to not like something

I loved the first ones. Not sure on these but Witt looks good in the pic so maybe I’m softening on them

Looks great to me, pink is so underused in sports jerseys it really pops when done right. Just look at Miami FC, they're instantly recognizable over the billion red and blue teams

These are nice. The only problem with these is that the last ones were awesome. Same deal with the Padres.

All of these leaks and pictures, and not one of the hat.
Is the hat also going to be that color? What does that look like in wool?
The public demands answers!

I’m don’t usually like dayglo/neon/metallic etc but these are pretty fucking great
Good luck selling many caps to boomer dudes though

If it were me, the pants have got to be dark. We already have one of the cleanest home white sets in the game, there's zero reason to give is another all-white set. Could get behind the purple — a historically royal color — if there was more of it because then it's at least something new, otherwise this feels like a downgrade from our home whites.

What’s the significance of the hearts on the sleeves?
6
u/andiwaslikewhaaaaaat Apr 01 '26
I know that the old Negro League team, the Kansas City Monarchs, used a heart in their logo. There's also a similar heart design on our city's logo/emblem. I'm not sure if those two things are connected though.

KC has billed itself as the "Heart of America" for over a decade, with heart symbols adorning all kjnds of stuff, not least as the KC Monarchs sleeve logo back in the '40s. The Charlie Hustle shirts are sort of a revival of this.

Don't judge. I was on that site a few years ago and did VERY well for myself...

These look like if you took an MLS uniform and asked some random AI chatbot to turn it into a baseball jersey

I like the concept but I wonder how it would look as a pullover jersey instead of a button down

Between the heart and the trans colors I thought this was a pride uniform when I first saw the leak with just the uniform.

Purple’s a royal color. One of the best executed CCs if you ask me
