"In 2008, the Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals are going to do something that no baseball team has done since 1991.
They're going to break out the Powder Blue Uniforms. Mind you -- they'll only occasionally be used as home alternate uniforms, but that's a feat in and of itself. I don't think anyone's ever worn the powder blue in their home stadium before.
The Royals will be wearing blue shirts (with white pants) while the Blue Jays will go completely retro and bust out the baby blue from head to toe. The Jays will also bring back their old logo, a pullover jersey, and their old two-color cap. I have one of those hats. I love it.
Considering that we haven't seen the powder blue for the last sixteen seasons (and the fact that no one under the age of 21 likely has any memory of powder blue baseball), let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit the teams that dared ... to wear blue"
The Denver Nuggets have made this "retro" color very popular in today's modern culture. While searching for some baseball news earlier this week, the Philadelphia Phillies are adding a new alternative uniform as well, to be worn on Sunday home games. The uniform slightly tweaks their current one; the pinstripes are removed and the caps are blue, giving it an "old new" look.
Ok, so which of these three new uni's do you like the best?

UNC has a color similar to that
but then I looked at the Royals and Blue Jays new ones and I think the Royals look better and the blue jays look very stupid. I'm gonna have to go with the Royals on this 1.
O and also...
I thought the Dodgers had an alternate Royal Blue type color Alternate
The Dodgers' blue alternate jersey is used for spring training games and batting practice. They do not use it in a game.
Also, I should include the Tigers in the "No Alternate Jersey" list as well. Maybe you can remove the Giants from the alternate jersey list, as I don't recall them sporting their black jerseys this past season.
