5ss22 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I have never liked seeing the state outline on the front of a cap, and I don't like it here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavardToColton Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 There are definitely more offensive City Connects from this program than these Twins uniforms, but I agree with the points made by others that a lot of similar colors being used by teams during this program is just so uninspired. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I'm so bored by this. There's nothing that I am drawn to. I despise state outline logos in any context, so the cap is a dud for me. The "ripple" effect is a fun idea, looks bad in application. The color scheme is blue and yellow again -- why? The sleeve logo of the bird (?) is really weird. MN as the centerpiece is even more disappointing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The ripple effect looks like it belongs on a kit for a random 2nd rate soccer team in Northern Europe. Minnesota is just Wal-Mart brand Scandinavia, so it fits the vibe completely 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-BallsOmnicorp Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I'm not a fan of the Twins City Connect uniforms. As others have pointed to the big issue is they're boring. The lakes / body of water and North Star themes have been really played out in Minnesota sports uniforms over the past decade. Off the top of my head, the Wolves have had two lake themed City uniforms and a North Star one plus MNUFC had a river jersey, and the Wolves and Twins have both added North Stars to their branding not to mention the Wild logo. These don't really provide any new take on either theme that's worth exploring. I also don't like the colors, which do not feel very Minnesota to me as someone who lives there and hate the sublimation in general that has been appearing on City Connect uniforms. On a positive note, the Minnesota State logo is nice but would work better as a sleeve patch than as a cap logo. Like a lot of City Connect uniforms it feels like they just designed a bunch of cooling looking logos / elements than jammed them together rather creating a cohesive uniform. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasaltvanilla Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Like the northern lights on the hat. The rest of it is rather boring. Not great, not terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The cap is embarrassing with “10000 Lakes” on the side. It’s like they have something that’s close to being ok, then go full idiot with it. 4 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

MJD7 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 It saddens me to report that there’s not much I like about this… The logos are alright (the cap logo is probably the best part), but beyond that… I saw the leak of the socks last night, and the decision to go with yellow was a baffling choice. I suppose it is technically an historic team color since it was used as the trim on the old Minnie & Paul logo, but I doubt that's why they chose it, & using it to this extent feels odd, & repetitive of other teams. It's funny, baseball had a lack of blue & yellow as a color scheme before the City Connects, but now it feels overdone. Most of the blue & yellow uniforms did need to use that color scheme to accomplish what they wanted to (Red Sox, Mariners, Brewers), but the Phillies & Twins didn't need it. It feels like no coincidence that those two are both among the bottom of the City Connects for me. Back to the Twins... the water teasers had me excited, but the pattern they went with looks nothing like water to me, beyond being blue. Between this & the Timberwolves recent City jersey, it seems like Nike is unfortunately not very adept at making a water pattern. Not continuing it to the pants makes it even worse. Interestingly, the 3 navy teams in the AL Central added royal blue for their City Connects, and the one royal team went with navy. Not an ideal strategy for setting teams apart. Beyond that, I don't think I have much else to say. At least the primary uniforms are still among the best in the league. If anything, they already had a perfect City Connect: The first jersey to say "Twin Cities," and literally connecting the two cities with the flags. There's not much else you need. 11 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 This isn't as bad as some of the other ones, but yet another blue set is kind of boring. And that cap logo doesn't work well as a cap logo. Should have gone on the sleeve instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green27 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I'm an amateur ornithologist, but I'm concerned for this poor 'loon' and its health. But really, there are already many regional loon sports logos done 10x better. Why did they need to shove another branding element in? The loon, the state outline, the MN, the North star, the 10,000 lakes 'wordmark'...way too many things competing on one uniform. This feels like instead of a pitch meeting where ideas were worked out and streamlined into a simple concept, they just had 5 different designers work on each component and then mashed them all together. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M59 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Re: the Twins Cash Grab Connect set: we've had area codes, airport codes, and now a state postal abbreviation code. At some point in Cash Grab Connect, Round Two, I fully expect to see Nike slap a zip code on a jersey and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
