The thought of making them wear the red alternates is amusing. But, I love the ’60s throwbacks so much, I really would be sad if the team stopped wearing them next year because the uniform had become associated with a losing season or Killebrew’s death. It’s one of the best-looking uniforms in baseball. Win or lose, we can be proud of that.

Good call, JC. I’m actually not even sure what “retro” jerseys this team is fit to wear. Not even the old “baby blues,” though that may be most fitting for this group.

Actually the red jerseys (which the only wore twice in 1997) are pretty cool. I got an authentic blank as wedding gift from my bride which I had customized as a Molitor jersey (one of my all time favorites growing up as Brewers fan before I became a Twins fan).

I was thinking the same thing with the 1961 throwbacks-they are dishonoring the guys who wore that style with their shoddy play.

Now the Twins could wear the turn ahead the clock jerseys they wore in 1999…that would be fitting:
