The Royals unveiled their new 2006 uniforms, which have a more traditional look, at their annual forecast luncheon on Friday.
The two home uniforms will say "Royals," while the two road uniforms will have "Kansas City" on the front. The lettering on the front will change from last year's block print to script.
"Basically, the goal of the uniform changes was to get back to more of a traditional look for the ballclub," said Dave Witty, the Royals' vice president of communications and marketing.
One of the key changes with the new uniform is the return to the crown logo. The Royals used a circular logo over the past few seasons.

One other change will be small blue piping on the pants for home and road uniforms.
"We wanted to jazz up the pants more," Witty said. The Royals will wear black belts and black shoes.
Catcher John Buck and Royals captain Mike Sweeney modeled the jersey tops at the luncheon.

"Hopefully, the new uniforms will be a little more productive then the previous ones," Sweeney said. "I think maybe this is a symbol of a new start. We have new guys coming in. We have a new game plan the '06 season. Hopefully, the new uniforms will bring us more wins."

I'm probably missing something, like a link or something, but isn't that the same logo they've always had? Also, where is a picture of the unis?

I dont see a difference either. I mean if they are changing their uniforms thats fine, but it reminds me of the Arizona Cardinals doing it thinking that would be the next thing to do before they pushed forward into the playoffs this year HA

Go there and go to the bottom. It has all the uniforms. Click on the first two (2002-2005) ones and then the bottom 2 (2006-Pres) ones. There is a slight difference. As far as the logo, I think they mean that if you look at the 2005 away jersies on the sleeve you'll see a round baseball looking thing with ROYALS in the middle. Next year they will have the crown on all the jersies. I guess that is the difference.

They have to get excited about something in Kansas City.

Have you ever been there? I've been there three times now and I've always really enjoyed my stay there. Its a nice little city.

Yep, I've been there a bunch. I'm not a huge fan. I have a lot of friends from there, though, so at least they breed some decent people there.
