MINNESOTA TWINS FRIENDSHIP LOGO
So there I was, watching the White Sox suck at baseball, when I spotted a Twins fan wearing a hat (yes, I realize the picture is a shirt) that I'd never seen before. It had some sort of stupid patch on the front that clearly wasn't their logo. After a good amount of staring I first realized that it did in fact say Minnesota Twins. Strike one. Never liked you guys. Then after another 30 seconds, I realized that, while it was partially blocked by some weird shit, it was in fact a baseball in the background. But what is that mess in front of it? Oh, of course! It's two guys shaking hands. Strike two. What is this, the Special Olympics? Is that the sportsmanship logo? Come cheer for Minnesota, we're really friendly to other players (but only when they wear the same uniform as us). The two dudes aren't even twins! That may well be the worst thing I've seen in the history of professional logo design. Then, to top the whole thing off, they put it on a light blue hat. Strike three. I've consulted wikipedia as to not make a complete fool of myself, and nowhere is it listed as one of their colors. I can't stand when fans buy alternate colored jerseys/hats/shirts. Oh, you're Irish? Good for you! That doesn't mean that you should have a green Bulls jersey. They are red...which is quite different from green. End of story.
