Should the Royals wear blue jerseys for every road game?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

This is a completely unfounded theory, but it seems to me that the Royals win a lot when they are wearing their awesome blue jerseys, and lose a lot when they are wearing their boring gray ones. Clearly the blue jersey is one thousand times cooler, and might possibly be closely correlated to winning as well.

So, simple question. Should the blue jersey be their regular jersey, or remain as an alternate?

Those blue ones are sweet!

I don't know what the rules of baseball are. Every team seems to have a road gray, a home white, and 1 or 2 alternates. (Except the stupid Yankees with their 2 and only 2 uniforms and their dumb "We're a team, not an individual, so no names on the jersey" gimmick)

If I ran the Royals, I'd use the grays the absolute minimum required by MLB, down to and including zero games. If road grays are required for X number of games where X >= number of games not televised, every road game that is not televised would be gray.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. But it seems like a lot of teams use the alternates more than the Royals do.

I like the gray ones as much as the blue tops. But grey is my favorite color

[Gonzo]

I'm probably in the minority here but I really liked the ones they wore for a few years that were black with blue trim. Thought they looked really spiffy.

The blues are freakin sweet. I don't mind the grays either but if we could wear the blues more then do it.

I liked those a lot.

I miss the days when the whole road uni was blue.

[okcchief]

Powder blue was the color of mother fuckin champions!

I think a lot of people (myself included) have a hard time separating those jerseys from the horrible players that wore them... I agree, they did look pretty sweet, but it's not like every team ever hasn't tried black at some point, though.

As for the original question, I don't hate the greys, but the royal blue (and to a lesser extent powder blue) jerseys are amazing.

[mr. tegu]

I love the blue ones as well. They should only wear the grey ones when the home team decides to wear their alternate more colorful home jersey.

HAWT




























No...I mean really. It'd be fucking HOT wearing this...But it still looks good.

I never cared for black. It is the color of the hated White Sox.

Oh here "wego" with the "we can't wear black because the Raiders/White Sox wear it" line of crap.

I can't help but like black alternates. My favorite colors are black and red.

[CHENZ A!]

Gawd I hated those black jerseys.

[SPchief]

Just say no to black.

[CHENZ A!]

I think the gray jerseys are cool though. I'm fine with the current rotation of wearing the royal blues for day-road games and the powder blues for day-home games.

[lewdog]

Fuck Black and Fuck the Raiders!

[alnorth]

well, if you don't like that, how bout the "why is every team trying to put in black trim to look edgy/tough" argument? Its a dumb gimmick, and the only teams who get a pass are teams that own the black from the beginning of their history.

[okcchief]

I'm good with all the jerseys. Just fucking win!

[Canofbier]

Powder blue....all day, everyday!

If only they could.

[Setsuna]

Just say no to black.

**** Black and **** the Raiders!

Yeah, I'm not sure either. But it seems like a lot of teams use the alternates more than the Royals do.

Exhibit A: The A's are wearing green jerseys tonight, at a Monday night game.

[Predarat]

powder blue!

[whoman69]

Cardinals don't have an alternate away jersey except perhaps the blue throwbacks from the 80s. They do alternate caps.

I wish the Royals would go to all black road cap.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Update: Royals are now 4-2 when wearing the blue jerseys, and 3-14 when not wearing them. Coincidence? I think not. You dress like a winner, you play like a winner.

Powder blue....all day, everyday!

This. :clap:

The powder blues are not as conducive to winning as the royal blue jerseys.

[Chris Meck]

I hate the black jerseys and caps on the field because it's not their f@cking colors. How's that?
That being said, I own, wear, and love a black cap with the white KC logo. I'm not a team, I don't have f@cking colors.

[rageeumr]

Never liked the black.

Powder blue with powder blue pants, now THERE'S a uniform. Powder blue with white pants is sham. A SHAM, I TELL YOU!

Fuck that whole outfit is sick, powder blue base, royal blue trimming and white logo.

Also the old pullover non buttonup jersies they wore were sweet.

[Chris Meck]

I'm with you. The all powder blue is the shit.

I loved that uni.

We at least need a throwback day with the old pullover jerseys and the powder blue elastic waistband pants. They were good enough to win the World Series with.

A damn fine uniform, indeed.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

The blue jerseys bring victory once again. The Royals are now 5-2 when wearing these fine outfits, and 8-18 when not wearing them.
