This past weekend against the Athletics, the Minnesota Twins wore hats that featured the classic "M" logo. Since it was Hall of Fame weekend, the caps also had a "Hall of Fame" patch on the side.

Here's a look at Kendry Rojas wearing the cap:

The Minnesota Twins haven't worn a hat with the classic logo in a while. They aren't part of the regular rotation of Twins caps, as the team typically wears the usual "TC" and newer "M" caps. Minnesota also occasionally wears its City Connect uniforms, which come with their own unique cap.

Here is the Twins' usual rotation of hats:

Most Twins fans would say that they love the two "TC" hats, while the fanbase seems to have mixed reviews on the City Connect and newer "M" caps. As for the vintage "M" caps, some still prefer the "TC" hats, but many are still huge fans of the older "M" hats, especially for nostalgic reasons.

Legendary Twins first baseman Justin Morneau spoke about the classic "M" caps on Tuesday night's broadcast. Morneau made it clear he's a fan of the hats and said he could get in trouble for saying that, which is... interesting.

Morneau was likely partly joking, partly not, about saying he could get in trouble for his comment. It's doubtful Morneau will actually get in trouble for saying he loves the caps. As Cory Provus pointed out, "if I said that I would get in trouble, but you're Justin Morneau."

Why wouldn't the Twins want Justin Morneau to say he "loves" the classic "M" logo?

Twins ownership and business operations probably would've preferred that Morneau didn't comment on how he loves the hats since the Twins don't regularly wear them. The Twins obviously want people to buy Twins gear online. While the team is currently selling those vintage "M" caps, they mostly sell hats with the logos the team usually wears. Therefore, it'd likely be better for business if Morneau commented on how much he loves the newer logos rather than the older one.

But at the end of the day, it's doubtful that Morneau's comment will affect the Twins' business operations much at all. It makes sense why the Twins' business operations department likely would have preferred that Morneau didn't say what he said, but they probably didn't even address it with the former Twins star.

If anyone has earned the right to say whatever they want about the Twins' uniforms, it's Justin Morneau.
