In a moving gesture, players took to the field in special home-white jerseys that replaced the usual “Red Sox” with “Boston.” The jerseys also sport “Boston Strong” patches.

Very cool that the Red Sox Jerseys say "BOSTON" and that the Royals have the #BostonStrong Patch on their uniforms #MLB

Just before he told the crowd, “This is our f*cking city,” David Ortiz mentioned the special uniforms.
"Notice our uniforms don't say 'Red Sox' they say 'Boston'!" – @davidortiz ????

I know why the uniforms looks so great. Their home jerseys always say RED SOX but today it's simply BOSTON. Now thats a nice touch. @RedSox
