Royals Unveil Awesome New Jorge Soler Neon Billboard
By Brendan Balsamo
Jorge Soler was a lone bright spot in the dismal 59-103 campaign that the Kansas City Royals put up in 2019. Hitting 48 home runs and posting 117 RBI, Soler finally looked like the prospect the Chicago Cubs thought he was five years ago.
The Royals don't have much else to boast for 2020, so on their annual billboard, Soler lights up the sky with neon lights in Kansas City to promote the Royals' upcoming campaign.
Our @solerpower12 billboard is officially up (and it’s lit..erally amazing).

Stop by Southwest Trafficway at Westport Road to check it out.

Besides last season, the Royals trying to break the internet with another creative billboard has become an annual tradition.
In 2014, Alex Gordon's headfirst slide ripped up half the advertisement.

In 2016, Salvador Perez dumped water onto the city.

The Royals haven't held back in the creativity department when it comes to advertising, and people love what they put out every year. The new Soler neon billboard is no different.
