The Minnesota Twins are an American professional baseball team based in Minneapolis. The Twins compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) Central Division. The team is named after the Twin Cities moniker for the two adjacent cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.[10]
The franchise was founded in Washington, D.C., in 1901 as the Washington Senators. The team moved to Minnesota and was renamed the Minnesota Twins for the start of the 1961 season. The Twins played in Metropolitan Stadium from 1961 to 1981 and in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome from 1982 to 2009. The team has played at Target Field since 2010.[11]
The franchise won the World Series in 1924 as the Senators,[12] and in 1987 and 1991 as the Twins. From 1901 to 2023, the Senators/Twins franchise's overall regular-season win–loss–tie record is 9,177–9,875–109 (.482); as the Twins (through 2023), it is 4,954–5,011–8 (.497).[13]

The core red, white and blue color scheme remains, but the hues themselves have been slightly tweaked with a more vibrant red and a darker navy blue -- almost bordering on black -- to accentuate contrasts and unify the color scheme, particularly with the caps. The Kasota Gold of the most recent color scheme is gone, as are drop shadows, outlines and the like, leading to a much sleeker, more unified design.

Lastly, the Twins' legacy color palette – embraced by the franchise since the Washington Senators debuted in 1901 – has been modernized with a slightly brighter shade of red, a boldly dark navy blue and a more brilliant sheen of white.

Featuring a contemporized "Twins" script recalling beloved elements of yesteryear, the return of a piping pattern first popularized by the Rod Carew-era clubs and rekindled with Joe Mauer's 2009 American League Most Valuable Player campaign, and the introduction of the Twins' exclusive new font – all presented in a crisp and dynamic aesthetic celebrating the club's modernized red, white and navy-blue palette – the new home uniform is a passionate, innovative and bold embodiment of baseball and community in Twins Territory.
