These are the 'Turn Ahead The Clock' uniforms the Royals will wear Saturday

This sounds like the plot to a Christopher Nolan movie or perhaps something that a theoretical physicist could try to explain.

When the Royals take the field Saturday night in Seattle, they will be wearing special jerseys as part of the Mariners' celebration to honor a promotion from 20 years ago. That was "Turn Ahead The Clock Night" when the Mariners and Royals had futuristic uniforms from the year 2027.

Got that? It's a throwback to the future.

Those uniforms from the 1998 Royals-Mariners games were flat-out ugly. Well, the Royals' were, at least. They had gold metallic helmets and sleeveless yellow jerseys.
