CubsFanBudMan Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Maybe they'll use a white cap or at least a white front panel (like Mauer's helmet) to help that logo pop like it does on the dugout... ok, never mind. Looks like the cap is staying put, too. Not surprising, since their last attempt to change it ultimately didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leopard88 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The entire outside of the stadium is covered in Minnesota rock, it looks awesome.They have a mural of Bob Mould and Paul Westerberg? That is awesome.Prince is on the mural too. However, they haven't figured out whether to use "Prince" or "[iNSERT UNPRONOUNCABLE SYMBOL HERE]" on the plaque identifying the artists.

spyboy1 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 As far as the caps go, I'd like to see them keep wearing the blue TC cap at home and a blue TC cap with a red bill on the road. That's what their current BP cap is, and I think, minus the little side panel thingys, it's rather sharp.I don't think the "M" cap was ever embraced by the fans and, even with the World Series wins behind it, would not be missed if it were dropped entirely. You simply never, ever see anyone wearing one around town.

My preference would be to make the TC entirely white, with a red outline. (Or for switching to a red cap with a blue bill, and a blue TC outlined in white.)To be fair, though, before moving to Minnesota the franchise consistently had some of the lowest-contrast, hardest-to-see cap logos in baseball, so this is a problem the team has been failing to grapple with for the better part of a century. Lots of red on blue with no outline or too-thin outlines in Senators history. Can't blame the current management too much for failing to solve a problem that's been dogging the organization for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You simply never, ever see anyone wearing one around town.I saw someone wearing an "M" logo cap once. Come to find out he was a business traveler who went to Mall of America and got the hat as a souvenir.I think there's something about interlocking letters that seems very baseball, regardless of the actual design--of course, this is coming from someone that has 3 TC hats. I too wouldn't mind a switch to a single color for the letters, something like this:I think a switch to the light navy color of caps worn by the Indians, Brewers, and Dodgers might look nice with the Twins blue jerseys. The current dark navy (of the Yankees, Red Sox, and Braves) doesn't quite match the blue on the jersey. Or course, maybe it's just the Metrodome lighting.

It's not like an accounting problem or technical problem where each year that it's let go makes it harder to correct. The prior years of poor-contrasting design don't make it any harder for them to simply order up a recolored logo.

gosioux76 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Seems I'm a rare breed: a Twins fan who still regularly wears the "M" road cap. I personally hope the road and home caps don't change, though I wouldn't be opposed to an aesthetic tweaking of the TC logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY reason I don't wear it often is because it is a little tight. I really want to get a bigger one, but I don't feel like spending $35 on something I already have. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the back of the cap over your foot, and give the brim a quick tug or three. It'll loosen the cap right up and if it's a wool one, soak it in hot water and wear it for the rest of the day until dry. Perfect fit, every time.And if it's not a wool, do it anyway. I did it to my Giants cap that was a little tight, and now it's just right. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a bit annoyed looking at the 'C' in the 'TC' because it looks like the Reds 'C' I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
