While the team has yet to officially release their "City Connect" uniforms, it appears that the caps that the Kansas City Royals will wear as part of the promotion have surfaced.
Paul Lukas of Uni Watch obtained an image of a hat being sold on the streetwear site EbLens.com of a Royals hat that has since been removed from the shop:
As Lukas notes, Kansas City's flag features a logo that utilizes the same design as the "KC" on this cap, paying homage to the nickname of "City of Fountains":
ESPN's Joon Lee noted previously that the Royals planned to break out their City Connect uniforms for the first time on April 30, when they'll host the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium. So, in short order, one would think we'll get official confirmation on this being the hat used for the City Connect promotion, along with a full uniform to match. It will be interesting to see if the uniforms utilize white or navy blue as their primary color.
The Houston Astros and Washington Nationals unveiled their City Connect uniforms earlier this month, joining the Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, Miami Marlins, Chicago White Sox, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs as teams who have already released alternate uniforms as part of the promotion.
Additionally, Lee reported that the Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels, Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres are all slated to release City Connect uniforms during the 2022 season.
