Some History
This wonderful and unique red jersey is a throwback jersey that the Royals wore several times in 1995 in honor of the Kansas City Monarchs who played in the Negro League in the 30's, 40's and 50's. This jersey is one of the most unique ones we've seen. The base color is white with red and blue trim. The patch on the left sleeve is a blue heart with a white and red KC in it. The patch on the right sleeve commemorates the 75th anniversary of the founding of Negro League.This throwback jersey is also referred to as a 3rd jersey. The 3rd jersey is a concept that became commonplace by the mid 90's. Most 3rd jerseys are worn occasionally at home as well as on the road, giving a team a third option as to what uniform to wear. And of course, the addition of a third jersey adds to the options fans can buy, thereby increasing apparel revenues and ultimately benefiting the team. More recently, teams have begun adding 4th and even 5th jerseys to their roster of uniform possibilities.
