Minnesota Twins...New Uniforms?

These Uniforms were leaked to me, and seem to be prototype renderings of possibly new uniforms for 2010. No word if it's official or not, but according to one Twins source, they have been discussed. I like the Home and Alternates.

Yes to the first two. No to the sleeveless! I abhor sleeveless with a white hot passion!

I don't know. I kinda like the home pinstripes. On the other hand, they sorta look like the ones Rod Carew wore.

Pawlenty should no longer be governor. If it weren't for the fact that Attorney General Mike Hatch was incompetent at staying afloat despite the amount of popularity the DFL had gotten him. I've talked to the Chairman of the DFL, and he said that he did everything possible to prevent Pawlenty from gettin reelected, but no matter how hard he tried, Hatch was still too incompetent to win.

Road cap and Alternate jersey look like Cincinnati rip-offs from the past.

Kinda? They should just buy the reds and make them a farm team. Then these unis would make sense.

The C stands for Cuddyer. ...actually, that C is rather odd.

Actually, the C stands for Cities, as in Twin Cities. Hence TC.

I thought that at first also, but then realized that 4 other teams have their team name on their away uniforms. Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, LA Angels of Anaheim and Baltimore Orioles.

At some point, they must have done away with that tradition.

Well Cheezer, if you think back to the 80's, many teams used the same word mark on both uniforms. Mets, Mariners, Royals, Blue Jays, Astros, Dodgers. It started switching over again right when Baseball started using more button downs and less pullovers.


So actually, team names is tradition.

An actual Date: 1987 the Twins, Mets and Braves switch to the city name. Just to name a few teams.

I like the home and away jerseys. "Minnesota" is too big to fit on a jersey and still have it look good. The alternate jersey looks exactly like Cincinnati's, though. And I hate the sleeveless jerseys with a passion.

That would seem logical but typically teams from "areas" such as Minnesota, Arizona, and Tampa Bay shy away from having their "area's" name on the jersey and use the team name instead. It's typically reserved for cities as is tradition - New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc. I've met a few seasmstresses (I'm looking into starting a pseudo-replica sports apparel line) and they really don't care how many letters there are... sewing on letters is amongst their elementary skills.

Actually, Tampa Bay is only putting Rays on their away jerseys to hammer home the name change. They are going back to putting Tampa Bay next year. This was the first and only year that they "shied" away from their area.

I don't want the Twins to change their uniforms. I've enjoyed them over the last 23 years. They're simple, yet not outdated. I especially like the wordmark font on the front of their home jersey they have now. They won two World Championships with them. However, I would be open to those jersey styles on here as an alternate set, not a primary one.

I must say that I prefer the old unis. I especially dislike alternates, as i believe that they aren't necessary, except to generate more revenue in jersey sales. For some reason the home and away jerseys remind me of knock-offs that want to make Twins jerseys but can't use their logos due to licensing (too generic-looking, I guess).

for those of you not old enough to remember the script on the front of these is actually a blast from the past. this is the same script that the twins used from 1960-1986 (killebrew, carew, oliva, allison, kaat, blyleven, etc). they had "twins" on the front of both home and away during that time as well. not minnesota. also, they only wore the "TC" hat representating minneapolis/st. paul metro for both home and away from 1960-1987. the stupid "M" hat didn't come along until 1987. they definitely need to get rid of the away "M" hat and go with minneapolis/st. paul only - TC

I truly hope that these are what they go with -- the minute I heard that the new ballpark was a go, I had hopes of the Twins returning to the older script logo.

Three things should change with these though -- the home stirrups should be blue, not red, the away cap should have the colors reversed (T in white, C in blue) as it was in the 70's and 80's and is now for the "alternate" that is never worn, and the alternate home jersey should have the logo/number placement on opposite sides.

I like the idea of no pinstripes on the home jerseys anymore -- that look is very classy for teams like the Indians, Braves, and Rangers, which this would be similar to.

I'll reaffirm what I said last time. I don't want them changing their uniforms.. UNLESS it is where those are the new ones, EXCEPT they keep the current wordmark logo on the front and numbering fonts.

Someone's still mad he didn't get invited to Fred Smoot's Lake Minnetonka Boat Bonanza. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be invited to the next fun thing that happens in Minnesota, which should be... ok, I got nothing.
