I'm not sure a new one was necessary. I think it would actually be the fourth because they tweaked the logo when they moved to Target Field to have sharper tails on the S and to not have a gap between the navy shadow . They'll have to redo the big Twins script logo above the scoreboard and on the Minnie & Paul feature in center field then too, right?

I'm sure I'm probably the only one that thinks this...but that last leaked pic looks to me, that it says "TWIMS". That's what I see. I'm absolutely 100% sure when I was a kid in the early 60's, we didn't learn to connect cursive letters at, or near the top of the letter like that. We connected them at the bottom of the letter. That's the way I still do it, when I write in cursive. No doubt cursive is a dying, or dead way to write. By the end of the 60s, Mrs Herren taught cursive just like this leaked pic. Some letters connect on top, like a "w" or an "o", but most connect on the bottom. And the n had two humps (I'm not sure why, but probably to keep it from looking too much like an "r"). But the important thing is yes, that's a nice uniform. Same thing in gray on the road and we're done.

And you might be right. I think the problem is with the blue jersey. You put a Mini and Paul patch on the sleeve, have the players name in white, and red numbers with a white border and the blue might be killer.

Count me in: I think that is outstanding! Clean, crisp, modern with a slight throwback feel. I'm fully on board with this version!

Not sure how accurate it will wind up being. The numbers don’t seem like they’ll be blocky like these ones, which I think is a shame.

bighat Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I can't believe they're getting rid of the TC caps and replacing them with a generic Marlins "M".

TwinsFan247365 Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Did they get rid of the the Minnie and Paul logo by creating the flag logo seen on the Twin Cities uniforms and the state logo on the white uniforms? I don't see the old logo on any of the options. The new M hats, the flags, and the state logo all seem very simplistic, but they're okay. I like the gray pinstripes. I'm glad the gold is gone. These look more traditional.
dex8425 Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I like all of it fine except the new M hat. What are we the Minnesota Marlins?
CRF Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I can live with everything except the "M" hat with the little red star. Don't care for that at all.

Don't care for that at all. I'm fine with the M but mostly AFTER I saw better photos of them. The star is much more prominent in this image than previous images I've seen. I need to see it in real life to form an opinion.
Puckett34 Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Is the M hat the new primary hat or alternate? I'm coming around to the new hat, but it's the weakest part of the update.

ScottyB Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 The ‘M’ hat goes with the blue top, home or away. Overall, I won’t be rushing out to purchase any of this stuff. It took two years to design this? Not impressed. Ugly new hats, don’t like the numbers. Yawn. I liked the red jerseys with the TC alternate and the original cream home alternates. Color me bored.
DJL44 Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 The "Twin Cities" unis look like the Saints
Doctor Gast Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 Happy that they had one pinstripe uniform and M caps, unfornately they all look cheap & plain but that's secondary. At least it's a step in the right direction.
mnfireman Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 I like the new-look uniforms. I am not a fan of the new "M" hats (not a fan of the old ones either), but the "M" looks like they inverted the "W" from the old Senator's logo, so maybe it pays homage to the team's roots.

CRF Verified Member Posted November 18, 2022 Posted November 18, 2022 For me personally...there will never be anything better on a Twins hat, than the "TC" logo. I love that and always will. I probably have 6 hats with the "TC" logo. The new unis will be a little adjustment getting used to, but I'm mostly ok with them. The more I see the "M" hat, the more I don't like it. For me, that doesn't identify with Twins baseball at all. I never liked the old "M" logo either. Obviously, everyone has their own opinion and likes/dislikes. I suppose we have no choice but to get used to these.
