Save The "M!"
Twins Video

No, this isn’t a post about the recently demolished Metrodome (R.I.P. and screw you, Zygi), this is a post about something near and dear to my heart: The Twins’ “M” logo.
I’m a huge fan of the “M” logo the Twins have used since 1987. It seems that every year past 2010, the Twins have made small steps in moving closer and closer to the far inferior “TC” logo as the go to logo on their ball caps. Well the Twins officially “retired” the “M” logo before the start of the 2014 season, and I don’t need to tell you how that has negatively affected the season.
From ESPN.com (article linked below): “The Twins have had two navy alternate jerseys in recent years — one for home, one for the road — but now they’re scrapping the home version, along with their alternate “M” cap.”
I understand the point in removing some of their extra jerseys. I feel that most teams have way too many to begin with (I’m looking at you, Oregon Ducks…). Three jerseys should be the max, along with a retro uniform if the mood strikes you.
I don’t get why the team would also scrap their second logo that took them to two World Series championships, 6 more division titles, 2 MVPs, a three-time batting champion, a two-time Cy Young winner, 2 ROTYs (One if we’re giving Knoblauch the Chris Benoit treatment [too soon?]), and a MOTY award.
Call the Pohlads, e-mail Dave St. Peter, and bring signage to the games and let the Twins know we mean business. The Twins had some of their best years with the “M” cap, and it’s easy to see why. What letter is “M” flipped upside down? W. And what does “W” stand for in sports? Winning. You might think to yourself, “Smartass, what does the ‘TC’ stand for then?” Well the easy answer is “Twin Cities,” but anyone who’s watched the Twins from 2011-present knows it’s stands for something entirely different.
“Totally Clueless.”
