Twins Usher in New Era Where Past Becomes Future

Overall not impressed. I do like the red, white and blue piping on the pants. "M" hats are boring. Hate the Twin Cities jersey. If they wear them on a weekend its a slap to all of Twins Territory outside the metro.

Where do you think the team name "Twins" comes from? Also, the "TC" logo on the hat stands for Twin Cities, so I guess us out-staters have been getting slapped in the face for years....

I think they are great! They are clean and classy, modern but with that touch of past for a classic feel.

BUT....that "M" is just the worst! It's like the whole re-brand idea went to 90-95% and then just hit a brick wall.

Yeah I guess. I get it. I just don't like it.

Wait until you hear what the "Twins" team name refers to

Overall I like them. I will echo others about the "M" caps. Not a fan. Just stick with the TC. It's iconic. Also, I wish at least one of the jerseys still has the Minnie and Paul patch.

Again, I get it. For me it went from what I thought was a clever homage to the Twin Cities aside from the broader Minnesota brand to just being more in your face and dumbed it down.

Did Buxton get hurt?

This new M is pretty awful. I actually liked the old M that they used in the early 1990s. I have and still wear a Portland Beavers cap with a like-styled P from when they were the Twins' AAA affiliate.

The Nike logo on the tops bother me for some reason.  They totally distract from the uniform.  I can’t stop looking at it.  My OCD is annoyed.

[Loosey]

I feel like this small sleeve patch would have been a an amazing hat logo, if they made the flags white and lettering navy blue.

Unimpressed with the new uniforms. The Twins are following the jersey patterns used by several teams that made overhauls in the past few years.

The “M” hates are horrible. Just flat out horrible. I’m just trying to imagine Pagan wearing one - what a nightmare that is.

Buxton looks like a stud in the Twin Cities uni. I think that will be a best seller and a smart move by the club.

I agree whole heartedly on the missing Mini and Paul logo. It's an iconic, stand alone symbol of the franchise and I think it should have been included. Obviously, it's an easy add and I hope they do so.

I liked the old "M" from the 90's era. How about stealing from the Tigers and doing an Old English "M"? Some have pointed out it appears to be an upside down "W" to pay homage to the Senator days. And I get wanting to do that. But it just looks odd and clunky to me.

BTW, if you haven't already done so, feel free to visit Brock's post on MORE LOGO LEAKS and leave a "like". Just a few more "likes" and yours truly receives a wonderful gifting of a new pennant to replace the "old one" I picked up in August during my first visit to Target Field.

And yes, I'm pimping myself unabashedly here, LOL!

Not a fan of the powder blues?!...lol

I like the pin stripes, but when did we become the Marlins?

I like them overall. Not a fan of the M, but don’t hate it, either. Everyone always asks me what the TC stands for. That annoys me more than whatever style M is on the caps. Mostly I don’t care as long as the baby blues are gone. They always looked like pajamas to me. But mostly I don’t care because I’m more concerned with who’s wearing the uniforms. But I think the hype of ‘rebranding’ is always silly no matter who or what it is. That said, I enjoyed the fashion show.

I used to annoy Expos fans by asking what the "elb" on their caps stood for.  ?

Expos Le Base-ball.  ?

Some nearsighted people just saw a capital M for Montreal, though.
