Minnesota Twins

The Minnesota Twins are a Major League Baseball team belonging to the American League Central Division.

Minnesota Twins baseball started in the Twin City of Minneapolis and St. Paul in 1960. The team itself existed long before that, they started out in 1901 as the Washington Nationals or Washington Senators, a name that was used interchangeably.

The Minnesota Twins baseball team had been rebuilding over the first few years of their existence and also to decide on uniform logos and other important issues such as their name.

On uniforms the Minnesota Twins logo depicts a navy blue “Minnesota” with bigger red letters on a slight angle “Twins” with a baseball in the background. Minnesota Twins baseball hats on the other hand show the letters TC standing for Twin City (referring to the twin cities Minnesota and St. Paul).

The Minnesota Twins where the first team to be named after a state. This happened because the where actually representing two cities, the twin cities Minneapolis and St. Paul. They also represented the state of Minnesota and so it was an easy choice for them to put the state as well as a reference to the Twin cities in their name.
