Twins unveil 4 new uniforms, new 'M' logo with North Star
The Minnesota Twins unveiled new uniforms and a fresh logo at Mall of America on Friday and the new look represents significant change from uniforms of the past.
"We stand here with a focus on celebrating the history and that heritage, but we stand here with great anticipation of what comes next," said Twins President Dave St. Peter.
The two road uniforms feature a hat with the Minnesota "M" decorated with a red North Star on top. The main road uniform features a gray with dark navy blue pinstripes, while the home alternate jersey features the cream color and "Twin Cities" across the chest. Both home hats feature the "TC" logo.

"This day has been a long time coming. Two years, in fact," said Twins Vice President Joe Pohlad. "We wanted to make cool jerseys. More so, we wanted to make some jerseys that connected with you that were uniquely Minnesotan."
The slogan inspiring the uniforms: "Inspired by the past and built for the future."
The uniforms were designed by Minnesota native Matthew Wolf, who also designed the Minnesota United uniforms and the very popular Nigerian national soccer team uniforms from the 2018 World Cup.
