I liked your critique of the Twins City Connect unis. As a Twins fan myself, I really like the design that they came up with. The state logo and the loon logo are both a HR and the overall design is solid. I personally think these are my favorite City Connect Unis.
I’m a big Twins fan, didn’t love these yesterday but feeling better today. Move the MN to the side of the hat and the 10000 Lakes to the chest of the jersey and fix the pants to match the jersey and these would be 🔥
As a Twins fan I understand why they chose the land of 10,000 lakes design however I feel like the NBA’s Timberwolves did it better. The yellow sun just feels out of place and has been overdone by Nike with other teams.
While not amazing, these are one of the better-looking ones. The Twins' regular red/white/navy blue is the most bo-ring color scheme in all of the MLB (like half the league wears it, lol) so this injects some new life into their kit. I like the waves and the state outline logo on the cap. And for those joking that this looks like a Best Buy employee uniform...guess where Best Buy was founded? I agree the pants look cheap compared to the cool waves on the top. Would have been nice to incorporate more of the Aurora Borealis into the design, also a reason to have a purple accent for a Prince reference. But the 4-pointed star looks identical to the LA Galaxy soccer team's logo star, that was the first thing I thought of. I like the concept of having the North Star represented, but this one's been used already.
everyone i’ve seen has either loved the hat and hated the jersey; or loved the jersey and hated the hat don’t know what to takeaway from that but it’s interesting edit: side patches always suck
I love both of it. TBH. It's completely different from the Twins' usual brand identity and looks very state-connected which is perfect for a Minnesota-linked team.
The Brodiestrator is working overtime on this jersey. I like these overall. I'd go with a white belt, though. The yellow belt is a bit much for me. I don't mind it as part of the piping or the hat, but the belt is too much. I'm with you on the pants, too...I'd go dark or black. Heck, I might even go the gradient from dark blue on the outside to light blue on the inside or light cream with dark blue piping. If they wanted to work in a third colour...and I wouldn't...a forest green might be a good add-on in spots. I'd say it's more of a lift off of the LA Rams than the Royals. I can see Aaron Donald wearing this as a jersey and throwing out the first pitch at Target Field. This is one of the better of the better overall "City Connect" concepts.
The under side of the cap bill is not water texture. It is a map of Lake Minnetonka the biggest lake in the state. They say it is a tribute to Prince “purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka”
These are one of the better city connect uniforms. Yes, the front is missing something, I think a number might balance it a bit more. The hat is clean but looks a hat you would buy at a souvenir shop. Now that all the city connects are out, this would be a good time to rank them.
I with Nike & MLB did what the NHL did, and add the city's nickname, or outline in the collar of the jersey. At the very least, for the City Connect set. Like Baltimore would have "You Can't Clip These Wings"/Charm City; Minnesota for "Land Of 10,000 Lakes"; Seattle for "Emerald City", etc
I'm a Guards fan and I like them. I hope the Twins wear them for a few the games so Its easier to figure out which team is who since they have similar colors. A couple things I notices is that the color scheme kind of feels like a nod to the Lakers when they were in Minneapolis. The other, is the "North Star" on the MN abbreviation that you mentioned Brodie, to me it seems it is kind of dotting an "I" that is formed by the "M" and The "N" to kind of make "Min" - Might be a long shot Idk... but all in all very cool.
Just remember that "10,000 Lakes" isn't always as Captain Obvious to some people as it is to you and me. I like it on the hat! In fact I like the hat better than I do the jersey!
Honestly I can dig Them! I wonder how often MLB teams will do City Connect jerseys. NBA does it Wvery year which I feel is a Bit Much. But every Few years would be Cool
I notice a few of these City Connect uniforms are more like State Connect. The Rockies feature "COLORADO" across the front... along with the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains. Agree the textureless pants looks quite odd. Ditch the Best Buy Yellow belt & blue pants for white or dark blue if the pattern can't be worked into them to match the shirts. 10,000 LAKES has the water waves inside the letter forms. Don't mind it TBH.
I really like them, minus maybe a couple of critiques. I would have chosen white pants, and taken off the "10,000 Lakes" on the hat. But other than that, I dig em.
I think its fine no real change needed.. can't have a shirt to busy. simple is always better.. hell i love the Mariners Connect. everyone hates on the black pants. i love them.. each there own i guess.
The blue pants aren't quite as bright in person, but they're still not a good match. I agree with the 10000 lakes patch on the hat. I'm glad the adjustables don't have them. Overall I like the jerseys. but I'm not going to buy one because they feel awful. I don't know if the ones the players are actually wearing are like this, but they're just too dang heavy. They feel like a 70s era bad polyester suit. They're a heavier weight than the regular, new fabric Nike jerseys.
You forgot to mention the player numbers on the belt buckle. Personally I’m not a fan of the yellow belt (number or no number). The cap could have said “Minnesota Twins” or just a baseball patch on the side. The pants, meh…I’m old school and really like the short pant style with the baseball socks.
Using the Milwaukee Brewers colors is a stupid mistake. It's just a reminder of when Bud Sellig wanted to contract the Twins and have the Brewers get the market. Neighboring team's colors should have been off the table when Nike designed these uniforms.
As a Minnesota born and still here, these don't look like Twins uniforms. They are a complete fail to me. Just as bad as the Vikings "Winter Warrior" jerseys. Just horrible as bringing back the OG Timberwolves logo and jerseys. It's been nothing but fails to me.
So the final 2 aren’t going to be made to participate? Your A’s 🙄 and my Yankees won’t have City Connect uniforms. Boo! I understand why the A’s. They are on the move until 28. Maybe they’ll do it when they reach Vegas.🤷🏻♂️ The commissioner’s office isn’t going to say anything to the Yankees about it? Yeah we know “Yankee Tradition” and all. They are the no fun team. They need to take a look at a team right across the river from them. A team that they once shared a stadium with. The NY Giants Football Team. Even they, steeped in tradition, do alternative jerseys. They have a 100th season uniform this upcoming. It’s atrocious. It’s still away from traditional.
The City Connect program is a complete blunder. The unis - on the whole - are atrocious. Hats included. I understand the excuse by Nike to get the pass with these dreadful unis is that they're "for the kids". What kids are talking about these and, in turn, talking about baseball? I don't have kids, but I do work at a school. I don't hear a peep about baseball in the hallways by the young people, only the oldies like me. This is all a money grab designed to get people like me to spend money. I'm not buying anything from this City Connect set. Nothing. I'm not rooting for baseball to fail, but I *am* rooting for baseball to get their act together with retaining the fans that they DO have and hopefully we can continue to pass the game along like it was passed to us. Between uni QC, betting, advertising, and blackouts, baseball is in real danger.
The Yankees, probably because they feel a CC is beneath them. Remember, the Yankees tried to keep the Nike swoosh off of their jerseys. The A's, because of the mess they are in. In an idea/better universe, the A's could have done a throwback CC to the old Oakland Oaks uniform. Copy the Rays and include the Bay Bridge on the cap, or something.
They should throw all the old jerseys in the trash and only use city connect jerseys from now on. If ppl like "tradition" so much, wear the old ones on occasionally.

I’m from Minnesota (born and raised) and the whole “State connect” thing is more of a necessity here.
As someone from St. Cloud, I wish the twins leaned into being from Minneapolis rather then always focusing on the entire state
@@kukxiv7070 What would a car jacking jersey look like though?
I immediately thought of Milwaukee Brewers when I saw it
I liked your critique of the Twins City Connect unis. As a Twins fan myself, I really like the design that they came up with. The state logo and the loon logo are both a HR and the overall design is solid. I personally think these are my favorite City Connect Unis.
Twins Home Whites do not have pinstripes but the gray roads do. The 'Twin Cities' jerseys have the cream pants.
I’m a big Twins fan, didn’t love these yesterday but feeling better today. Move the MN to the side of the hat and the 10000 Lakes to the chest of the jersey and fix the pants to match the jersey and these would be 🔥
Surely that is the Northern Lights at the top of the state on the cap.
Northern Lights was my take as well, and don't call me Shirley.
Obligatory “AURORA BOREALIS! AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AT THIS TIME OF DAY, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN!!” quote.
You steam a good ham
As a Twins fan I understand why they chose the land of 10,000 lakes design however I feel like the NBA’s Timberwolves did it better. The yellow sun just feels out of place and has been overdone by Nike with other teams.
Would love it if they used that MN logo with that shade of blue on a polo shirt.
I like em
The top waves on the top of the minnesota state is northern lights
Didn’t think about it yesterday but I like your ideas with the pants and having a wavy pattern on them like the jersey does
Great breakdown, Brodie! You have a spot waiting for you in Twins Territory if you should ever look to find a new team after the A's leave.
I appreciate that kind gesture.
@@brodiebrazilyou always welcome to be a pirate fan
MN has perfected Tampa’s branding.
While not amazing, these are one of the better-looking ones.

Better than the one my Phillies released. You’re spot on about different pants.
everyone i’ve seen has either loved the hat and hated the jersey; or loved the jersey and hated the hat
don’t know what to takeaway from that but it’s interesting
edit: side patches always suck
I’m probably in the latter group. Hat just doesn’t need 10,000 lakes thing. Pants are also in need of change.
I love both of it. TBH. It's completely different from the Twins' usual brand identity and looks very state-connected which is perfect for a Minnesota-linked team.
I like them very nice design

As a Sox fan, I like the twins city connect uniforms.
wowo,we will produce Twins City Connect premier stitched jerseys next week to sell
Overall, 2nd best city connect jersey - Rays are by far the best.
These are one of the better city connect uniforms. Yes, the front is missing something, I think a number might balance it a bit more. The hat is clean but looks a hat you would buy at a souvenir shop.
Now that all the city connects are out, this would be a good time to rank them.
I with Nike & MLB did what the NHL did, and add the city's nickname, or outline in the collar of the jersey. At the very least, for the City Connect set.

I think the Twins should have gone with a darker blue for the pants at least. Not necessarily navy, but at least a darker shade of royal
Agreed!
Just remember that "10,000 Lakes" isn't always as Captain Obvious to some people as it is to you and me. I like it on the hat! In fact I like the hat better than I do the jersey!
Blue and yellow for the Swedish diaspora connection in Minnesota, perhaps
I'm a Cleveland fan, can we get a better designer?? I like the Twins jerseys
Honestly I can dig Them! I wonder how often MLB teams will do City Connect jerseys. NBA does it Wvery year which I feel is a Bit Much. But every Few years would be Cool
This was Nike’s best blue/yellow combo.. too bad it’s repetitive. I wish Twins traded pants with Seattle’s city connect
I notice a few of these City Connect uniforms are more like State Connect. The Rockies feature "COLORADO" across the front... along with the silhouette of the Rocky Mountains.
Agree the textureless pants looks quite odd. Ditch the Best Buy Yellow belt & blue pants for white or dark blue if the pattern can't be worked into them to match the shirts.
10,000 LAKES has the water waves inside the letter forms. Don't mind it TBH.
I really like them, minus maybe a couple of critiques. I would have chosen white pants, and taken off the "10,000 Lakes" on the hat. But other than that, I dig em.
Regarding the whole City Connect uniforms....one day in the future we will look back and say "WTF were they thinking??"
Would definitely get the hat if it didn't have the 10k lakes on the side
Not a fan. It looks like the brewers and to be honest I feel like a bunch of teams have chosen this exact color scheme or similar for the connect.
They should’ve just continued the gradient down the pants.
I think its fine no real change needed.. can't have a shirt to busy. simple is always better.. hell i love the Mariners Connect. everyone hates on the black pants. i love them.. each there own i guess.

Oh ya, not a good blue on the pants, think I’m gonna baarff eh!
Why couldnt it have been a black navy instead with MIN. in giant basic white on chest!

This is major non-story as in this could have been an email
Seems to me to be a desperate cry for attention by MLB. I miss the days when baseball was more about the game than the merchandise. #oldman
What's the other team (excluding yankees ) who don't have a connect jersey?
A’s
AWFUL reasons Yankees & A's won't get City Connect jerseys
ua-cam.com/video/znwYGGfumS0/v-deo.html
The Yankees, probably because they feel a CC is beneath them. Remember, the Yankees tried to keep the Nike swoosh off of their jerseys. The A's, because of the mess they are in.

Dodgers have new shitty connects too

Cap and jersey--awesome
Pants--mediocre
