My local team, Minnesota United are about to embark on their debut season in the MLS.  United are a pretty inoffensive club and i've taken the kids to a few games.  They've just released their new strip, with their first ever sponsor - Target.  I can't help but think that the sponsors logo is an invitation to violent ******* players though.

Apparently the grey/blue colors are to symbolize the iron range in Minnesota and the Mississippi River. Still honking though.

My hero F Scott Fitzgerald was born in St Paul so I will be looking out for these guys from now on.

Good to see another Minnesota Hearts fan. That make's at least two. Is that enough for an official Supporters Club?

There's actually 3 of us, another expat who lives in Duluth.  Where are you Jalbo?

 

Always though Target was an Australian company.

 

Minneapolis headquartered, their office is downtown and during the summer months it's an eye candy feast at times.

I've been to Minnesota a few times with work. Minneapolis and Rochester mainly. Where are United based?

Loved watching Fargo for the Darn accent (Duluth features, doesn't it?)

Been playing at the national sports center in Blaine, next couple of seasons they're playing at TCF stadium in Minneapolis while a new stadium gets built in St Paul.

All roads lead to Gorgie

In the last couple of games it looks like we are sponsored by Off Target :tiny: 

 

Good luck Minnesota hope you do well !

It's a cunning psychological ruse to get the opposition, when taking a free-kick just outside the box, to subconsciously aim for the target instead of trying to get it over the wall.

Not me, a good friend of ours. He's a Minnesotan who was in Edinburgh for a year, and joined the Hearts family. Always has his Hearts top on when we're Skyping, so there's a jambo wandering around Eden Prairie now. He's over next month and will be at the Hamilton game.

Target is a separate company here, owned by Wesfarmers.

You ever do anything with the Dark Clouds?  I've got several friends from college who are routinely involved in their shenanigans.

Not me, I'm not quite hipster enough :) but one of my team used to be involved with them,

Ah, I see. Eden Prairie is only a few miles from where I work but I live the other side of the twin cities. I did meet another guy wearing a 2010 Hearts top who'd spent a semester of college in Dalkeith and was visibly worried by some nutcase Scotsman approaching him at the zoo saying "magic, another Jambo"

I'm good friends with their head sports scientist Jarryd Phillips. I played with him in college over here. I feel like they are going to go far. Very good set up they have.

Different guy - he was here in 2014-2015. Our guy loves nutty Scotsman too(!)..........and attends Minnesota United games occasionally.
