Craig Gordons Gloves Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Loud cheers each time a player chests it right in the bullseye. Honking strip though, especially the away one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Apparently the grey/blue colors are to symbolize the iron range in Minnesota and the Mississippi River. Still honking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 To be honest it isn't as bad as our embarrassing pink strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecce Romanov Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've been to Minnesota a few times with work. Minneapolis and Rochester mainly. Where are United based?

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our guy loves nutty Scotsman too(!)..........and attends Minnesota United games occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
