KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ahead of The Kansas City Royals’ opening day, the streetcar received a makeover.
Friday, the Royals and the KC Streetcar Authority debuted a new wrap.
One side of the wrap features Whit Merrifield, pictured sliding into a base.
The other side shows Adalberto Mondesi sliding into a base.
Each side features the Royals’ 2019 slogan, “Always Royal” in a “lenticular” material, which allows the word “Royal” to transform as the streetcar moves.
“Royals” on Merrifield’s side transforms to “Driven,” and “Tough.”
On Mondesi’s side, “Royals” changes to read “Loyal,” and “Moving.”
Watch the video below to see the effect.
