And wasn't "Be Royal" kinda riding on the coattails of that Lorde song popular at that time? I lived in NYC in 2014, but I distinctly remember more than one person bringing up the Royals simply due to Lorde, which I thought was damn peculiar, but hey, Royals. That's cool, even if it's because she saw a National Geographic magazine and got inspired...
This is really gonna rack my brain, but as I'm remembering them, there's so many that are just so bad and totally unmemorable!
For some reason, "Royals Fever! Catch it!" rings a bell, but I might be making that one up. I think 1988 might've been "Get in the Swing of it!". "Catch the Thrill" always made me laugh because the PR dept was clearly out of ideas at this point, and things started to get really bad. "It's Here!", "Catch All the Action!"... ****ing seriously guys? "This is Hardball!", yeah, hard to ****ing win... "KC Royals, Your Hometown Team!" Wasn't 2003 "We Believe!"?
Oh yeah... Just remembered this early aughts gem... "True. Blue. Tradition", and the next year was "New. Blue. Tradition". HAHAHAHA, ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME?
"Our Time" stuck with me. That was when we brought up all those top prospects, Hosmer, Moose, Salvy, etc...
"Raised Royal" and "Forever Royal" are simple, but pretty good. I'm missing a lot, but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head...
