Minnesota Twins
A navy blue letter “T” interlocking with a red letter “C,” the two letters stand for Twin-Cities, the nickname for Minneapolis and St. Paul. This logo is an updated to the original initials “TC” logo used by the Twins from 1961 through 2022; the serifs at the end of the letter “T” have changed, the letter “C” is much smaller, and the shade of blue has been darkened.
Twins Primary Logo
The Minnesota Twins have a long and storied history, with their primary logo changing multiple times over the years. The team was founded in 1901 as part of the American League's Western Division, and since then they've gone through several iterations of their iconic logo.
The first iteration of the Twins' primary logo featured an interlocking “T” and “M” design that symbolized both Twin Cities: Minneapolis & St Paul. This design stayed with them until 1987 when it was replaced by a more modern look featuring two overlapping baseballs forming an outline around the letters "TWINS". In 2000, this look evolved further to feature brighter colors along with a white outline around each letter. It also included some additional details like stars on top of each letter which represented Minnesota's official state motto: "L'Etoile du Nord" or Star Of The North."
Finally in 2020, after 30 years without any major changes to its primary logo; the Twins unveiled yet another update - this time taking inspiration from classic baseball logos while still maintaining elements from previous designs such as star-shaped accents atop each lettering style. This new version features bright red coloring for all letters along with navy blue outlining giving it a bolder appearance than before. Additionally, there is now one unified 'Twins' wordmark instead of two separate ones making for easier readability across various applications such as apparel or merchandise products. All in all, these updates bring together decades worth of tradition into one cohesive identity that fans can proudly wear on game day!
