KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals will debut their new City Connect uniforms this Saturday when they host the New York Yankees.
The jerseys are part of the Nike MLB City Connect Series, designed to display a team's connection with their city.
The Royals say they have been working on this jersey with Nike for about a year.
In addition to jerseys, there will be hats, t-shirts, socks, sweatshirts and other apparel items in the collection.
Fans can find the new gear starting Monday at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals will wear the jerseys during their three-game series against the Yankees and also when they host the St. Louis Cardinals next week.
After that, they will wear them for every Friday home game.
The Royals are teaming up with Fanatics for an event at the Power & Light District Saturday. It will run from noon to 9 p.m.
The KC Live Event will feature the Royals game on the big screen and the new gear will be available for purchase.
