Amid a 5-7 start to the 2026 season, the Kansas City Royals gave their fans a reason to be excited on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Royals unveiled their new City Connect uniforms for this year in a video dubbed “Forever Kansas City.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

ESPN’s\u00a0Anthony Gharib<\/a>\u00a0explained the details of the inspiration behind the Royals’ City Connect uniforms, which are “meant to honor the next generation of Royals fans” while simultaneously paying homage to the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The color gradient pays homage to the city of fountains logo City Hall adopted in 1991 and the ‘R’ logo is a modern twist on the original 1969 mark,” Gharib noted. “‘Hey Hey Hey Hey’ runs on the collar of the uniform, a reference to The Beatles famous cover of ‘Kansas City\/Hey Hey Hey Hey’ at Municipal Stadium in 1964. The same track plays after each win at Kauffman Stadium.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Royals ace Cole Ragans told Gharib that the nod to The Beatles was his favorite element of the design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kansas City lost its last two games against the Cleveland Guardians, most recently falling 10-2 on Wednesday after Ragans exited his start in the first inning after being struck on the left thumb by a comebacker. He\u00a0said after the game<\/a>\u00a0that he expects to be ready for his next start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Royals will open a four-game weekend series against the Chicago White Sox (4-8) on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
