Kansas City Royals
There’s a specific type of Royals fan that loves quietly. They don’t brag about it, wearing jerseys at restaurants and expecting strangers to care. It’s the type that gets ingrained in you at the dinner table. Dad had season tickets, and now you do dad. They stuck it out through the lean years and have the 2015 World Series ring to validate they weren’t crazy. Purchasing a gift for that Royals fan can be easy because they are hard to please. It’s difficult because everything that’s available is made for the guy who knows dad is the main baseball jersey and wears one navy blue cap because that’s enough cred.
We built this with those real ones in mind. The fans who understand what Salvador Perez means to that city. Who lived and breathed the Yordano Ventura years like it was life or death because to you, it was baseball. Everything we selected had to scream Royals. We didn’t want some generic stadium bobblehead that could easily be for any team if you changed the hat they wore on their head. We chose stuff we thought only a true Royals fan would understand and appreciate.
Things that could earn a special spot on your desk at work or get pulled out every Opening Day and admired like it’s supposed to. We’ve grown sick of gift guides for sports fans that just list every stupid thing the team’s official store sells. This isn’t that. In fact, we narrowed it way down because we think that’s actually better.
So whether this is for a birthday gift, Fathers Day, Christmas during baseball’s dead period, or someone who needs to be reminded Kansas City is a legitimate baseball town with an actual history, start here. The midwest doesn’t always get love from the outside, and Royals fans are familiar with that concept. Let’s make sure the gifts they receive are as thought out as the Royals are as a franchise.
