BBTV Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Already covered here, but IMO each of these unveilings deserves its own thread - these huge cover-all treads are really annoying.

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Agreed. 40-50 pages for at most five unveilings -- that's a lot of nothing to have to sift through. I've missed a lot of stuff that I come here for because it gets buried too fast.The recent thread veered off-topic and the Twins stuff got lost. I'm sure there was a good reason to do it (NHL Edge?), but there are Rams, Vikings and Titans throwbacks threads going and we're surviving.I'll second the motion to reconsider that policy... Not that I presume to have any influence at all.At the very least could the person who creates the "official" thread be responsible for updating the first post with new stuff?

BroadwayBlueshirt Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I understand and support the significance in wearing them, but geez that is an ugly wordmark. Like someone drew it with the wrong hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lich0037 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I was there for the unveiling today as well. Got my free patch too! I'm digging this jersey. I took some photos, but they're not great. These are far better.

Korkie Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like the unis a lot. They look like baseball to me, if that makes sense. I guess it's because they remind me of hometown's American Legion team and I mean that as a tremendous compliment.

BBTV Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Twins would be wise to drop the pinstripes completely in '10 - whether they go to a throwback set, or an entirely new one all together.

dutyfree Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 They should adopt these uniforms full-time as they move into the new stadium...with the exception being the red cap. Go with the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik121 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That hat just reeks of awesomeness. I think that they should wear the red hats more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said at the time there were no such plans, as they feel the look they have is becoming a classic. Not the answer I was hoping for. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something cool about Morneau and Mauer wearing the same uniform as Puckett, Viola, and Hrbek. (Different caps noted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 As is usually the case, the uniform looks much better on the players than in the rendering. Loving the neck trim. Why don't more teams use it? It gives a more modern look without being obnoxious. I still don't like the script (it's just sloppy looking), but the rest of the uni is a winner...and that 'dome patch looks great. (Is that a Radom creation?)

leopard88 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I like these a lot more than I thought I would. The reduction in size of the sleeve stripes makes them look very sharp, even if it isn't true to the original.My only wish (and one that I doubt will come true) -- that they put a TC logo on the stirrups and require the players to show the logo, as was the team rule back in the early-mid 80s.

CubsFanBudMan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Would it be out of line to suggest that the Twins add their current wordmark to these jerseys next year and replace the sleeveless duplicate alt?Not that I dislike these as they are... at the very least it seems they've found a good use for the red alt cap.

There is nothing overly bad about the current set (except for the road pinstripes), they are just the epitome of "meh".

trekbkr Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm a big fan of Twins TV announcer Dick Bremer (the guy interviewing Justin Morneau in the first pic). One of the best in the biz, IMHO. But that's one awful tie he's wearing, patriotic or not. Oh ... the new unis look okay. There, I stayed on topic.
