  1. So after a week, here are my thoughts:

     

    Overall, I really like the set as a whole. Gold is gone, and there's more consistency throughout the brand than the previous set. I love the road pinstripes, as well as the retro tri-color striping on the uniforms. Gives it a nice retro feel while still feeling modern. The lack of outlines doesn't bother me at all, because overall it looks nice. I also really like the updated script with the underline under WIN still remaining.

     

    My complaints:

    • I think the Twins heard "we want the M hat back" as "we want a M hat back." Fans wanted the classic Metrodome era M hat back, and instead we got a completely new M hat that is very mid. There's nothing wrong with it, but I will not be surprised at all if they end up slowly replacing it with the TC hat as time goes on.
    • I also think the Twins heard "we want road pinstripes again" and didn't realize that also meant on the homes as well. It's not my biggest gripe, but it is definitely odd that the homes are plain white while the roads have pinstripes. It definitely makes us unique, but man it's a head scratcher.
    • I'm still not used to the new TC yet, but that's probably just because I'm so used to the old one.
    • I'm sad Minnie & Paul will no longer be on the uniforms, but at least they will still be in center field at Target Field

    Overall, I really like this new uniform set and think it is a great step in the right direction. I have a few minor gripes, but nothing big enough to dislike it. I can't wait to see them on the field in the spring!

    The pants shown with the blue road jersey do not have pinstripes.

     

    Are you saying that these pants are not grey? If the Twins are going to wear white pants on the road with the blue jersey, and if they are going to have two distinct road looks (a dignified baseball look, and a Sunday beer league softball look), that knocks the overall grade from me down a peg, to B+. 

    The blue alt is going to be worn at home with white pants, and on the road with grey pinstriped pants

    Does it bother anyone else that we're at the dawn of a rebrand, and these 2 jerseys look like they belong to 2 different teams?

    Nah. Kansas City has different home and road uniforms, along with the Yankees, Mets, Tigers, Guardians, White Sox, Cubs, Giants, Rangers, Reds, and Pirates

    Uh oh.

     
    I’m hearing some bad news. There will only be three uniforms revealed, with two hats..powder blue and the Minnie and Paul handshake logo are gone.

     

    so that makes it the;

    Home White

    Alt Navy

    Away?

     

    Troubling news to be honest. Not only will traditionalists be upset that the Minnie and Paul logo is gone, but many that love the powder blue will be upset as well.

     

    I'm concerned that the 3 uniforms are the home "Twins" on white, road "Minnesota" on navy blue, and the alternate is the cream with "Twin Cities" on it

  5. conceptcar2000 on reddit took this picture through the door of the Clubhouse Store of new Twins merch

    • New wordmark is a combination of the updated retro script with a floating underline under WIN
    • New TC mark is legit
    • "Twin Cities" with the floating underline I would assume is either an alt or the city connect
    • "Minnesota" in an arched font on a t-shirt in the background is what I assume the road mark will be. Seems to be an update of the Metrodome/World Series road jersey
    • The Jose Miranda shirt in the background has the same name and number font as the announcement, and also matches the aforementioned Minnesota arched font.
    • The Jose Miranda shirt appears to be cream colored, with the name in navy and number in red
    • If the pennants are to be interpreted as what the uniforms will be, the wordmarks will be single colored

    Idk about y'all, but this looks great

     

    Edit: they could be fashion caps, but there are some "M" hats in the background that look like a downgrade from the previous M hat, as well as Minnesota state outline hats (I would assume these are city connect, probably with the Twin Cities wordmark)

  6. According to the Twins on instagram, the clubhouse store at Target Field will be closed through the 18th. My prediction is the store is being renovated with new graphics and being restocked with new merch, leading up to the uniform reveal on the 18th or 19th of November.

    My suspicion is that the T looks off-white is because this is an edited version of New Era's Southwest-inspired caps. But that's just a guess. 

    My guess is due to the popularity of the previous 1960's cream throwback, that the T on the hat will be white like it's always been, while the home uniforms will be cream with pinstripes like the throwbacks were

    Really? That's your only negative? I know opinions exist and all but this is their best Uniform combination! The monochrome Navy just doesn't work imo, and many would agree with that. ANY Football Uniform where the Jersey, Pants, and Socks are all the same color just never works. Having the same color helmet makes it even worse. I mean, the Gray pants just look so good! When they do all Navy, it's just a blob. This goes for every football team. Jersey/Pants/Socks should never match.

    The grey pants need some green for color balance, they look a little too plain without it (same goes for the white ones). I will say the navy over grey looks good from zoomed out camera angles, but up close photos like this show how badly they need green on them. And I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the Seahawks all-navy is one of the few good instances of monochrome in the NFL. I would honestly argue that the blue pants are the best option for all 4 of their jersey options (I'm still waiting for the day they wear grey over navy)

    I was just checking the Twins schedule and this is the logo they’re using on the banner at the top of the page, along with brighter  blue and red as mentioned above. I’m not sure how long they’ve been using it here but it caught my eye and may add to the hunch that this could be the logo to come.

    I'm pretty sure that's just a stylized version of the current TC logo. It somewhat fits in with our horrible graphics package as of late. I doubt it's a sign of changes to come

    I’m still of the opinion that the Bengals should’ve only changed jerseys. Their pants stripes from from last set were perfect as-is(was?).

    Except they had these weird little segments at the top that were colored differently from the rest of the stripes
