Royals Unveil New Sponsored Jersey Patch, and MLB Fans Have Strong Opinions

The Kansas City Royals debuted their new jersey patches on Wednesday, and were met with a mixed response.

The Royals will feature a red QT patch on their arms through the 2024 season, advertising the team’s partnership with QuikTrip, a convenience store chain with many locations across the South and Midwest.

In addition to the patch, the Royals and QuikTrip are teaming up to launch “Hit the Books,” a program aiming to improve literacy rates for students in the Kansas City community.
