The KC Royals have a special treat for the first 10,000 fans who enter Kauffman Stadium Saturday afternoon (June 19) for the club’s scheduled 3:10 p.m. CT game with Boston.
It’s a taste of club history—a replica of the “away” (road) jersey the Royals wore in 1970, their second season ever.
While Kansas City’s primary home jerseys have remained remarkably consistent in design and appearance through team history, some alternatives have been and are in use, including the lighter “blues” worn on afternoons and weekends. That isn’t entirely the case, though, with primary road jerseys, which have included gray and blue versions, and the original chest script “Kansas City” the club later changed to block style, only to return to script.
