patsox Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Breaking in the new Target Field with new duds.http://blogs2.startribune.com/blogs/christ...estions-please/This could be great news if the Twins execute this properly. I like most of the suggestions listed in that blog entry. I suppose I will remain optimistic until given a reason to behave otherwise, so here's hoping that the Twins don't mess this up.

w00tness Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Ah, beat me to it! =PNew ballpark, new uniforms - I'm very much for this. I detest those grey pinstriped aways, and the home unis could be much better, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I know their unis are stuck in an 80s time warp, but I like them a lot as is. I'd ditch that 82 throwback and the sleeveless variants though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Glad to see my favorite team is finally doing something. These unis are starting to get old. But I just spent so much money on Twins apparel in the past year or two, and know it will all be outdated. O well, as long as they do a good job. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smith03 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I am sure I will be in the minority, but I would like them to come up with a new "M" hat and used it full time. I would suggest either taking the 1960 Senators W hat and turning it upside and making it a M or use the old Mpls Millers M hat Just say NO to gray facemasks.

JayJaxon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I am interested in seeing what the team comes up with. I like the idea of coming up with something new with the opening of a new stadium. The Padres did it, the Marlins are gonna do it, so hopefully these turn out good. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think the thread's headline is a bit misleading. From the link:Either way, the team is currently considering changes for 2010. Doesn’t sound like they’re planning anything too radical, but the team has until May 31 to finalize its plans.

-kj Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 It's the same thing we've discussed before. There are possibilities, but there's certainly been no "announcement".

OnWis97 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Does anyone else have a sick feeling that this may end up as an epic fail?That's always a possibility when we hear someone may change. But I doubt it can be "epic" because I just don't see the Twins making a huge change. They'll keep the basic colors, keep the TC and not have too many elements we have not already seen at some point. I suppose there would be a slim chance they add black. But I doubt it. The blue is too dark.Here the the likelyhoods:1. Keep the primaries essentially the same. Maybe mess with the alts.2. Change the road to dump the pinstripes.3. Use the 1961-1986 script (or a variation thereof), changing the road to a more similar "Minnesota" script and removing the pinstripes.4. Create a new wordmark and take the opportunity to mess with the roads (mainly by removing pinstripes)5. Dump the "M" cap.6. Remove last name from homes.7. OH PLEASE OH PLEASE: Not use nameplates on any pinstriped jerseys.I think it'll be most likely. #1, potentially #5 and #2.#7 is wishful thinking. If they don't change much, they'll probably leave the nameplates.

I would suggest either taking the 1960 Senators W hat and turning it upside and making it a M or use the old Mpls Millers M hatwhy the hell would they borrow another team's old logo and flip it over when they could just create a completely new original logo? anyway IMHO the "TC" logo is classic and needs to stay on all the hats (though I'd love to see a return to the white-paneled home hat). And while I like the home look, the roads could definitely use some tweakage. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, but it's before my time.

And while I like the home look, the roads could definitely use some tweakage.Well considering they were the Washington Senators in 1960, they would be "borrowing" their own logo. If you compare the 1960 Sens uniforms to 61 Twins they were pretty much the same look with of course a different nameSpeaking of the red/white/blue helmet does it bug anyone else that the white T on the white panel is not visiable unless it a close up and it looks like is is only a "C" on the helmet. Just say NO to gray facemasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
