Headlining the Twins uniform additions is the introduction of a sleeveless jersey which will be worn as an alternate white home top beginning in 2006. It will be the first time in club history the Twins an official on-field uniform has included a sleeveless jersey. The sleeveless jersey will be similar to the traditional Twins white home jersey with blue pinstripes and the Twins script logo in red across the front. A navy blue undergarment will be worn in combination with the sleeveless jersey.

The Twins will also unveil a new alternate/batting practice jersey for 2006. This navy blue jersey features the traditional red and white "TC" logo on the upper left-hand chest with player number in red on the back. The new batting practice jersey replaces the existing navy blue Twins alternate/practice jersey.

Renderings of both jerseys can be found on the Twins' official website at www.twinsbaseball.com.

In 2005, the Twins wore five different uniform combinations: a home white jersey and pants with blue pinstripes; a home navy blue jersey and white pants with blue pinstripes; a grey away jersey and pants with blue pinstripes; a road navy blue jersey and grey pants with blue pinstripes; and a standard navy blue practice jersey with either white or grey pants.

The jerseys, which were jointly designed by the Twins and Major League Baseball, are made by Majestic Athletic, MLB's official on-field uniform supplier. Both jerseys are on sale now at all Twins Pro Shop locations in Apple Valley, Minnetonka and Roseville and will be available for sale on-line in the coming days by visiting www.mlb.com.
