Order your Kansas City Royals City Connect gear now

The Kansas City Royals City Connect uniforms have been unveiled, paying homage to the city’s beautiful – and iconic – fountains. Buy the equipment now.

Kansas City Royals City Connect gear is live now at the MLBshop, where you can order everything from hats to socks.

The uniforms pay homage to Kansas City in its entirety. You’ll easily recognize the homage to the fountains in the KC logo and the color change.

Wearing Navy is a direct reference to ties and history with other baseball franchises (the A’s, Monarchs, Blues, Blue Sox, and Packers).

Inside the shirt collar reads “HEY HEY HEY HEY” which is a nod to the Royals’ victory song. There’s a nice story behind it too. In 1964, Kansas City Athletics owner Charlie Finley managed to spruce up a KC concert from the Beatles’ first American tour.

Admittedly, it came at a steep price. Finley contacted Beatles manager Brian Epstein to ask about a stop in Kansas City. Epstein explained that the tour was full and no dates would be added.

For each concert on that first tour, the Beatles earned $25,000. The shows contained 10 songs and lasted about half an hour.

Finley offered Epstein $50,000, but it didn’t work. He offered $100,000 to no avail. Eventually he made his final offer: $150,000. The group couldn’t turn down that kind of money and planned a show in Kansas City on a rare day off. It was the Fab Four’s only performance in KC – and it began with a McCartney twist on a Little Richard classic – “Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey.”

“The design is one that fans of all ages will really appreciate,” Royals CEO John Sherman told ESPN. “From the fountains that are part of Kansas City’s heritage to the jersey colors that symbolize the rich history of baseball and the Kansas City Royals. The uniform shows the different elements of our community.
