Season of Change: Twins Mark Move with New Jerseys

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Twins have new logos and uniforms for their new era of outdoor baseball.

Pitcher Scott Baker and outfielder Denard Span were at a downtown news conference Monday to model the outfits.

Span wore a 1961-style cream-colored, red-trimmed jersey with blue "Twins" script lettering and pinstripes. That will be used on opening day at Target Field in April and Saturday home games in the 2010 season.

Baker wore a solid gray, red-trimmed jersey with blue "Minnesota" script lettering and no pinstripes. That will be the team's new road uniform.

Both of the new uniforms also have a special logo to mark the team's 50th season.

The Twins also slightly altered the red "Twins" script on their primary logo and home uniform.
