It was subtle but I think it was an upgrade for eliminating the clunky "s" alone. Wow... How have I never known until just this moment that there was any difference whatsoever? The team has taken a step out of the shade, playing at home in the sunlight for the first time in decades. The Homerdome set has become so attached to that place (so much so that I refer to it by the venue's nickname) that it just kind of feels like it belongs to that. It's like the Cardinals' and Phillies' powder blues fitting their cookie-cutter homes more than their current ones. I like the evolution that the uniforms have taken when stepping out of the light. At least, I like the idea of it. I don't fully agree with the execution, as I'd said earlier. The gold works well with the limestone aesthetic of Target Field. I like the switch to a navy wordmark. The team was wearing the Killebrew throwbacks more and more, especially with the loss of him. I absolutely hate the wordmark on those. It's so lopsided and awkward. I love the current wordmark because I think it's a perfect mix between these two looks, a modernization of both while paying homage to the classic look. The only thing that's missing is the pinstripes. Out of the team's 55 years in Minnesota, 38 were spent in pinstripes. You can say that it's mixing these two identities with the 70's set. I'd just like to see it, though. It would help them stand out. 4 hours ago, Gothamite said: Those players were also once horny teenagers perpetually lusting after an endless series of members of whatever sex they find attractive.

And you know, for once I'm ok with that. I'd rather they wear a bland navy cap then dress up like a reject 80's cover band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The underline on the home wordmark is OK because the lettering is not cursive; here it looks like someone erased part of it.) The underline on the home wordmark also has a very intentional purpose - it underlines the "win" in Twins. I don't know why "innesot" needs extra attention on the road wordmark. I'd like the road wordmark a lot more if they tried to match the lettering to the home wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making reference to one of the most legendary improvisations of all time. EDIT: Side note, Tim Conway appears to be wearing one of the Little League World Series commemorative caps.

Fassy Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Please forgive me if this isn't the thread for this question, but I've always wondered; Are MLB players permitted to wear New Era 59fifty, 59fifty Low Profile, or 39thirty style hats on the field?

Yes on the low profile 59fifties. The last player that I know of who wore a 39Thirty was Kenny Rogers and he had to color a Tigers BP cap (39Thirties at the time) to look like a 59Fifty.
