If you look at the initial team store leak, the Miranda player tee at in the foreground clearly shows a standard 'A' shape. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'm guessing if the "Twin Cities" script comes from the City Connect set, it's not just going to be a cream uniform with that script on it. That's waaaaaay too basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnyoutuesday Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I think the "Twin Cities" is just going to be a cream alt, in a similar vein to the Cardinals' "St. Louis" alt, with the city connect being something different Quote Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kg54mvp Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them removing Minnie & Paul from the uniform, but not from their overall graphic package, considering how prominent that logo is behind center field at Target Field. Speaking of that, I'm curious as to whether they'll be updating the giant stadium signage with this brand update. The Minnie & Paul sign uses the old baseball logo, and the prior wordmark is pretty ginormous above the left-center scoreboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was some controversy because the players in the logo were “only white” (sigh..) they are getting a new scoreboard and I’d assume replacing the minny and Paul sign in the outfield as well.

kryptik11 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Where is the news about an "M" on the hat coming from? Is it total speculation as to the design or is the mockup with the 4 point star based on an account from someone who has seen it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 On 8/8/2022 at 4:00 PM, WSU151 said: SMU's D-Dallas logo is still just an alternate look, much like a DFW hat for the Rangers could be with City Connect or something. SMU doesn't have a state in its name so it's still not quite apples-to-apples to the Texas Rangers. There's no rule in baseball that everything HAS to be about the city. We've seen it with Colorado, Florida, and Texas that non-city names work just fine. Rangers City Connect: A uniform split down the center with one half representing Dallas and one half representing Forth Worth On 8/26/2022 at 6:36 PM, VampyrRabbit said: Colorado does work better than Florida and Texas IMO, considering that Denver is by far the largest city in the state and the majority of the states population lives in the Denver area. And if I recall correctly, wasn't most of the fanbase of the Marlins in favour of Miami as the identifier instead of Florida? Texas works because the name together makes something. Same with Colorado Rockies even if it weren't the biggest concentration of people. On 10/14/2022 at 9:33 AM, gosioux76 said: I'm no expert, but I suspect it has to do with the descending size of the script from large down to small as it moves from left to right, suggesting it's shrinking, or "vanishing." Went to school for architecture at a time when the old teachers were still teaching hand-rendering. When drawing with perspective, the vanishing point is the point towards which all lines are leading. On 11/10/2022 at 4:57 PM, Carolingian Steamroller said: Look at the very top of this image. That looks like the edge of a sleeve patch: Could also be the serif'd bottom of the T if they're putting the TC on the sleeve like on the Homerdome unis. That would mean the striped would be much more modern-sized than the 70's look. On 11/10/2022 at 7:05 PM, MJD7 said: I've tried it a few times in the past, but it's never really looked right to me. Here's an updated attempt: I've said every year since Kasota Gold came: Navy Twins wordmark with red outline on pinstripes at home. Can be either print or script as long as it's clean. Both would be a beautiful update of their original look. Script Minnesota in the same colors on gray. Basically the ones from the last 10 years. White Twins wordmark with navy outline on a red jersey with navy piping as a home alt White script Minnesota with red outline on a navy jersey with red piping as a road alt. Basically the same as the last 10 years. Carew red-crown and thick stripes throwback for a few day games Kirby Homerdome throwback for a few night games a month Honor all eras, enjoy nostalgia while continuing forward. Some great looks. Fun times for all. Maybe even throw in the Mauer white-panel helmet at home. On 11/11/2022 at 1:37 PM, MJD7 said: Here's a comparsion of the current/outgoing "TC" with my slightly rough attempt to predict the new one, based off of the cap leak. I've got to be honest, if this is similar to how it turns out, the new mark is growing on me. I didn't think it was possible to improve upon the TC, but I think they might have. The T flows better with the C, and the spacing between the letters makes it more readable. It feels unbalanced to me. Like the old one was a perfect mix of the two but the new one looks like I'm getting too much T. It's more massive and now much taller.

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 Quote Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJD7 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 11 hours ago, baseballfan2021 said: Perhaps a powder blue set to be unveiled? I think this makes powder blue significantly more likely to remain in this new set. It would be too random to be the base color of a new shirt for it not to appear in the new branding somehow. I really hope it does. I think if they do have a powder blue jersey though (and I hope they do), it needs outlines for the text. I imagine red would get lost on the powder blue background & be difficult to read.

Seeing the logo on the t-shirt, I do think the T is a little bit too tall. Oddly enough though, seeing this new logo has made me realize that, on the old TC, the line weight of the C is noticeably thicker than the T, and now it bothers me. I'm glad they seem to have fixed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no Gray uniform is a BIG NO. Nothing official. Was looking at #MNTwins hashtag to see if there was any news and saw this. It seems kinda close to the details we have (number colors should be different though). I'm not a fan either and I really fear they might ditch road greys like the Rays are planning and like the Padres tried to do by making the brown jersey their regular away, this might confirm it.
