The Kansas City Royals unveiled a few changes to their uniforms for the 2012 season. The changes will be made to their powder-blue, alternate home jerseys, and their standard grey road jerseys.

They’ve added a patch for the 2012 All-Star Game to all four versions of their jerseys.

The team says the powder blue jerseys will have a new ‘bolder’ color that is supposed to better represent the powder blues of the past, along with some minor piping changes on the seams.

The road grey uniforms will also feature a deeper color and some new script to read “Kansas City” in a similar way to the traditional “Royals” script.

Changes to the alternate home “powder blue” uniforms:
• Jersey will feature a new bolder powder blue color that better represents the original powder blue color of our historic past.
• “Royals” script on the front of the jersey has been changed to white with blue outline and the number on the front of the jersey is now blue with white outline.
• Standard Royals blue KC cap will be worn with the new alternate jersey.

Changes to the primary road grey uniforms:
• Grey color fabric has been changed to a deeper looking blue/grey tonal quality that will enhance the other colors featured in the uniform.
• The “Kansas City” script has been retooled to a more stylized font that now is in the same family as our traditional “Royals” script font.
• The piping on both the jersey and pants is now a dual blue and white color scheme.
