  1. I thought these were going to all suck bad! But I’m actually really impressed. My only complaint is the grey Minnesota top reminds me too much of the Arizona Diamondback greys. The ‘M’ cap is super underrated!!

  2. Thumbs up. Like a lot of folks I’m not sure about the M hat but I’m sure it will be fine.

  3. “let me get this straight, you think the M hat actually looks good?”

    “I do. And I’m tired pretending it doesn’t.”

  4. Nope, not a fan of the “Minnesota” font. I also assume the new “M” stands for *meh*–reminds me of the old Marlins M from a few years ago.

    The rest looks good, though.

  5. If the TC or old M logos were just announced today you guys would hate them even more. The truth is this team has never had very good branding. At least they’re trying something different

  6. The white and cream jerseys look great. Red numbers on the front of the cream jersey might have been a nice touch, but perhaps too much like the Dodgers with the cursive script. The new M logo is an insult.

  7. Love the new looks! Gray pinstripes have always been my fave, happy to see a refresh of those.

    Gonna take some getting used to though with the M hat. It’s not far off from being good, just looks way too much like the broke ass Marlins old logo.

  8. The home whites are super fresh. Really like the large numbers on the front below the Twins script and the striping looks good.

    Also digging the M hat.

    I kinda like it all.

    Also the site/social media rebrand is fantastic. Whatever that half-finished draft look they were going for last year was a huge swing and a miss.

  9. In true r/Twins fashion, I’m pretty sure somebody is downvoting every positive comment about the M hats

    It might be the most controversial thing since Mauer’s contract

  10. Really dislike the move away from any Kasota Gold involved. Loved that tie in with the home field.

    Aways look like garbage.

    Homes are good.

    **Love the Twin Cities one.**

    The M is the worst part of the Wolves branding mixed with Miami’s old logo.

    Striping on the pants is a nope and why mess with the TC?

    The people that said grape salad was Minnesota’s quintessential dish also did the rebranding.

  11. Nothing really special here. No pop, fun, it’s not cool or that classic. Nor is it ugly or tacky.

    The new M stand for Mediocre.

  12. I’m a fan of this. I’ve been waiting since the ugly Kasota gold was introduced to get new uniforms. These aren’t amazing or awful in any way but a HUGE step from the old jerseys and that ugly ass kasota gold.

  13. They crushed it. Classy and clean.

    Took a risk in there with the new M, which I could nitpick (it’s not better than the old M)

    But all in all a major step up and actually did a good job of the marketing jargon around merging past and future

  14. I absolutely hate the M hat… it looks like they just took the marlins hat and removed the color and the fish

  15. I swear to god I’m so glad most of you aren’t in charge of shit like this. That Home White is stupid sexy. Pinstripes on the Away Gray, a dope new Cream Twin Cities set… I’m not a huge fan of the Blue uni or the “M”, but overall these are excellent.

  16. Will you please shut up about the stupid Marlins, it doesn’t look like the Marlins, shut up.

  17. The Twin Cities jersey should be a bit more…creamy. It almost looks white. Still really slick.

  18. Why are we wearing Marlins hats…. fuck. What a shit hat. jerseys are fire. logo is awful. terrible terrible logo.

  19. On the plus side, no more Kasota Gold. Pinstripes back on the road. And the “Twin Cities” Alternate is kinda cool.

    Home Whites:

    Pros- Red script is back. . I would say this is an upgrade over the 2015 home whites.

    Cons- I don’t like the cursive, and if you put a hardware store name in the underscript below “WIN,” it would reflect its appearance as a town ball/little league uniform. I’d say it’s the 2nd worst home set we’ve ever had behind the one from 2015.

    Road Grays:

    Pro- these look nice. Significant upgrade over the 2010 road grays

    Con, vertical piping on pinstripe pants.

    Navy alts:

    Pro- Properly spelled Minnesota

    Cons- No trim on the red font will really hurt. They need white trim over the red ASAP. Until that gets added in, these are a colossal eyesore.

    Home Creams:

    Pro- Twin cities script is a fun addition. I think these look really classy.

    Cons- None. Some may complain that the team is supposed to represent Minnesota and the eastern dakotas/northern iowa/western wisconsin. To that i say that 3 of the 5 uniform sets say “Minnesota” and also add that the Team is literally named after the Twin cities.

    ​

    Overall, the new uniforms are “Just Fine” some real highlights, some low lights and some in between.

  20. I don’t hate the jerseys. But I will never buy these hats. The M is so fucking lame. Looks like Marlins or something. Bring back the underlined M you cowards.

  21. some of the other items are in the rebrand are nice, I do like T/C flag stuff but I can skip the anything cropped 🙂
