Minnesota Wild Third Jersey Leaked


Icethetics has leaked the Minnesota Wild's new alternate jersey. This is the first Minnesota Wild jersey I've actually liked. The red and green of their first three uniforms could only remind me of Christmas. And sure, the NHL season overlaps with the month of December, but nothing prevents me from getting over my Holiday Season Hangover more than seeing bright Santa colors in mid-April.

Ever wonder how they choose which uniforms to wear?


Have you ever pondered how baseball teams pick which uniform combination to wear?  The Minneapolis Star Tribune gives us a look inside the Minnesota Twins clubhouse, showing how the starting pitcher selects the uniform combination for the game.  

Check it out here.  

Other teams in the majors have similar methods for picking the uniform for the day.  For the Chicago Cubs, Ryan Dempster tends to wear the home pinstripes or the gray away unis, and Carlos Zambrano chooses the blue alternate tops whether he is pitching home or away.

Top Ten MLB Jerseys for 2009


1. Milwaukee Brewers - For as much as this pains me to say this as a Cubs fan - the Brewers have sick uniforms, a cool team name and a great cap design.  As a beer drinker, the solid blue cap with the grain below it is pretty freakin' awesome and its kind of a wonder you don't see more people outside of the midwest wearing it.  This blue jersey has a cool color scheme and is less offensive than the stupid glove logo they wore in the 1980s (alright Brewers fans, lemme have it, I know you love that crappy design). 



2. Boston Red Sox Alternate - Boston did a really nice job with the redesign of their new alternate jerseys.  They aren't overwhelming and jerseys get extra points for having a city name instead of the team name  (typically their away jerseys). 








3. Chicago Cubs - This jersey is much cooler when customized.  The simple grey is a bit drab initially, but with a red number on the front and back - it looks pretty cool.  It also offers a contrast to all those white pinstripe jerseys you see Cubs fans wearing.  








4. Pittsburgh Pirates - I'm a big fan of the classic look on current jerseys and Pittsburgh's road uniform does this pretty darn well. 









5. Minnesota Twins - The Twins will be wearing this uni to commemorate their last season in the 'dome.  I think the powder blue jersey actually wears better - but this is still a sweet throwback.  








6. Kansas City Royals - This picture makes this Royals jersey look like a dress, but this is a potentially pretty cool jersey.  A number of teams have color schemes of blue and white - like the Royals or Dodgers.  The Dodgers uniforms look cool on baseball players, but I've always thought they look a little drab on fans. 







7. Baltimore Orioles - Baltimore has added the flag of the state of Maryland to their sleeve this year, which I think is a really cool touch. Since I think most of their hats are pretty lame, I would go with the jersey (exception to the old bird designs of the 1960s).








8. Atlanta Braves - I'm really tired of Atlanta's "blacked out" look with their dark navy caps.  Make a choice people, is it navy or black.  Let's add a bit of spice to our lives with a solid red jersey here. 









9. Philadelphia Phillies - This classic looking jersey is screaming up my list of favorite jerseys.   Like the Giants jersey below, I love the fact that they went with a classic cream colored alternate than just another white design.  This jersey looks sweet. 








10. San Francisco Giants - Typically, I'd mock orange and black as Halloween colors.  Obviously, they are - and at first I thought this jersey was pretty lame.  Recently, however, I've come around. As you'll see in this top-ten list, I'm not a huge fan of solid white jerseys - so the off-white color here makes the jersey look more classic.

Minnesota Twins Alternate Jersey


The Minnesota Twins will be wearing an alternate third jersey this season - their last in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.  The jersey will be complimented by an alternate two-tone cap - completing the throwback uniform.  While Well Dressed Girlfriend hates two tone caps, I really like this particular cap.  

While I really like the idea of sporting throwbacks from this era, I think the Twins really should have gone with the powder blue, v-necks from Kirby Puckett's rookie season - my favorite Twins uniform.  The powder blue jersey is the one and only jersey that I can wear to any stadium in the country and get compliments from opposing fans.
