JayMack23 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 <img src="http://www.sportslogos.net/images/Baseball/AL/MIN_1196.gif">Okay, as I've stated on the Sports in General board, I'm not a big baseball fan. I watch the post-season and the SportsCenter highlights, but thats about it. I'm more of a football and basketball guy. I've always wondered though, Why Minnesota has a "C" in their logo. For the life of me, I can not figure out what it stands for. It looks very similar to the Red "C" but even so, I still don't get the meaning behind it. Any explanation or answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cachechs Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 The "C" and "T" are for the "Twin Cities"..........Minneapolis and St. Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he probably reasonably assumed it was for "Twins".

grmuckrakers Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I once heard that the team was going to be named "Twin Cities Twins," which is why the cap was the TC and the road uniforms said "Twins" instead of Minnesota. The sticks-in-the mud running MLB at the time put the kibosh in such an untraditional name, but the team kept the cap logo anyway. I believe they were the first team to use the state name instead of the city, which was the compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 They may be the first major league team, but the first pro team at any level to do the state name thing was the Arkansas Travelers.

winghaz Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I once heard that the team was going to be named "Twin Cities Twins," which is why the cap was the TC and the road uniforms said "Twins" instead of Minnesota.Calvin Griffith wanted the Twins to be the Twin Cities Twins, but the idea was nixed. Minnesota is better anyway.As for the road uniform, I don't think so. Those were the days when it didn't matter if you put the team name or the city (in this case, state) name on the road uniforms.In fact, it still shouldn't matter. I'd still rather see Twins on the road uniforms than Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonz Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I actually wondered this question too myself. Although I kinda assumed it was for Twin Cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowahoo Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I think it is neat that the underline in the TWINS logo was intentionally made to go under the letters WIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I think it is neat that the underline in the TWINS logo was intentionally made to go under the letters WIN. I can't believe I never realized that. And I thought I was so detailed on that stuff. Thanks for that little tidbit.

ClutchIsEverything Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 The Kenosha Twins of the Midwest League, before they moved to Fort Wayne and became the Wizards, used to use a "K T" logo on their hat similar to the TC logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winghaz Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Bring back the Kenosha Twins. I went to one of their ballgames while visiting my aunt in Waukegan, Ill., back in the early '90s and just had a blast. Their cheeseburgers were so good you didn't need to put ketchup on them. Great game atmosphere. I even bought a KT cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
