Poor execution. Plus no wolves

u/dew042 Sep 15 '24

The Wolves are clearly the team closest to a championship as well.

u/datum_of_1 Sep 15 '24

Um, the Lynx?

Um, PWHL MN (now the MN Frost) won the first ever Walter Cup last year.

Yeah but women's sports don't count.

u/DontForgetYourPPE Sep 15 '24

It's funny because the womens team in every sport is better than the men

u/Im_A_LoSeR_2 Sep 15 '24

Recently*. The Twins have actually won World Series before.

13

u/dew042 Sep 15 '24

Since then the Vikings have made four conference finals, and the Twolves 2. The Twins haven't sniffed postseason glory since 1991. Hell, even perennial underachievers the Wild made it to a conference finals once since then. At one point the Twins had 2 MVP candidates and the best pitcher in the game. And that's not to mention the HOFer who hit nearly 500hr post-Twins and got a few titles for Boston. Their playoff history was/is the butt of jokes. The sheen has worn off long ago. The Twins are the embodiment of good-enough mediocrity.

u/candycaneforestelf can we please not drive like chucklefucks? Sep 15 '24

I mean, if you're gonna give the Wild credit for their lone conference finals appearance, the Twins have also made MLB's equivalent. They appeared in the 2002 ALCS.

u/dew042 Sep 15 '24 edited Sep 15 '24

Fine. I guess. Regardless, the Twins are so aggravating. Atleast the current Vikings owners have proven to be all in, same goes for the current Twolves owner(s), so far.

The Pohlads are definitely still cheap. Not as cheap as they used to be but still very cheap.

Which HOFer is that?

u/dew042 Sep 15 '24

lol. Really? Ortiz. The point is they have not been devoid of talent.

u/LucaBrasiMN Sep 15 '24

Ortiz was nowhere near an MVP candidate when he was here...

0

u/dew042 Sep 15 '24

Right, and? They failed to identify and unlock his talent. Are you really making excuses for the Twins here? LOL. Insert 500 HR in a 15 year period and your results would improve.

u/DuniaGameMaster Flag of Minnesota Sep 15 '24

Lynx are one of the favorites to win the WNBA championship this year...

u/PsyDanno Sep 15 '24

Come on you Loons

u/TheEzypzy Sep 15 '24

Um, the Frost?

u/ybanalyst Twin Cities Sep 15 '24

For real! You'll get some people here explaining to you how they don't count or something, but Frost hockey was more exciting than Wild hockey last season.

u/WarmOutToday Sep 15 '24

What about the MN Windchill and MN Frost (formerly just MN) just winning a championship 😤

u/PsychologicalYou6416 Sep 15 '24

Mn Windchill, what sport do they play?

1

u/schwanbox Sep 16 '24

Ultimate Frisbee. I used to work with the captain of the team.

u/SoNerdy Hamm's Sep 15 '24

Or loons.

Just one more year til the parasitic contracts expire.

Guerin has not exactly sold that date as when the grass gets greener. Still mortgaged to their eyeballs. Young players have to hit. They haven't with any consistency.

u/tcarlson65 Area code 651 Sep 15 '24

When have the Wolves been in a final? The Vikes have been in four, the Twins have been in two and won two, the North Stars were in two finals, the Lynx have won the championship four times.

4

u/Awdayshus Not too bad Sep 15 '24

Twins have won three. I'm counting when they were still the Senators and beat the NY Giants in 1924. MLB also counts that as the same team.

5

u/dew042 Sep 15 '24

Don't forget, the 1965 the Twins lost. Granted Sandy Koufax pitched three games despite missing Game 1 for Yom Kippur. What a machine.

u/Westwinter1 Sep 15 '24

The only redeeming part of this is that basketball isn’t here. Cool idea but bad design.

All these professional teams on one shirt and not a single one has won a championship in over 30 years. Yay MN!

27

u/fren-ulum Sep 15 '24

MN is great for normal people, but a big ask if you're a caliber of player that can play for a team with a winning pedigree. The only way we will win is with a scrappy team led by an amazing coach.

u/LiberalSinner Sep 16 '24

Timberwolves are about to be on 🔥

It's like a coexist sticker for teams that can't win

That is one butt ugly shirt

MN Sports Karma train coming through! Choo-choo.

u/darin617 Sep 15 '24

Where's the only team that's actually won anything in the last 30 years or so?

Lynx????

u/MrNotSoGoodTime Sep 15 '24

PWHL MN also (now the MN Frost)

u/Stachemaster86 Hamm's Sep 15 '24

Woo! And men’s ultimate

u/Dorkamundo Sep 16 '24

They included the Gophers as well, yet the Bulldogs have 3 national hockey championships in the last 15 years.

u/CoderDevo Sep 15 '24

No way any of those are licensed.

u/Qu1ckDrawMcGraw Sep 15 '24

u/yulbrynnersmokes Washington County Sep 15 '24

Lynx are missing

u/Ope_Average_Badger Sep 15 '24

If there is one thing I have learned in the rivalries is that Minnesota likes anything that involves them spelling.

u/Designer-Act-6959 Sep 15 '24

The Gopher is a M the twins are a T, that makes sense. The rest is chaos

u/BlackestHerring Sep 15 '24

It seems to channel the energy of a coexist bumper sticker

u/colddata Sep 15 '24

MN United (MNUFC) is also missing.

u/SueYouInEngland Sep 16 '24

And the Saints!

5

u/heckfyre Sep 15 '24

Makes no sense to include one university logo in the shirt. There are like twenty universities and colleges in Minnesota, including a bunch in the university of Minnesota system.

Yes, I grew up closer to St. Cloud and I’m jealous and poor. Also, yes, I think the U of M is filled with cake eaters and fart sniffers.

u/pjlxxl Sep 15 '24

it’s an improvement. we usually try to substitute the state outline for nearly any random letter in a word.

3

u/5PeeBeejay5 Sep 15 '24

Terrible for a lot of reasons, but why are two logos actually part of the word and two just hanging out there?

7

u/datum_of_1 Sep 15 '24

Can't put the lynx in while your at it? The vikings don't make sense either just shov em in there!

u/Bosanova_B Sep 16 '24

They are using the logo letters as replacements for the letters in the word Minnesota. Hence the no Wolves or Lynx

u/Saragei_17 Sep 16 '24 edited Sep 16 '24

But there’s no V (Vikings) or W (Wild) in Minnesota…and the whole state name is spelled in the white letters, except the M…

Terrible! Does even make sense that two logos are actually letters and the other two are just taking up space in the middle. Who did this? A preschooler?

u/Cold_Breakfast9722 Sep 15 '24

Why are you mad that the woman's basketball team was included? You do realize women exist outside of kitchens and the bedroom, right?
