SPEAKER 1: What about you guys? What do you think of the new Twins uniforms?
SPEAKER 2: I think they're pretty cool.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah? You like that? He's got the new head. You got the old one. Would you like better?
SPEAKER 2: The new one.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah? How about you? You like the new one?
SPEAKER 3: I like new one too.
SPEAKER 1: Why is that?
SPEAKER 3: Well, I don't know. Kind of-- well, it says Minnesota and not just Twin Cities.
SPEAKER 4: Well, no, I don't see what was really wrong with the old cap myself.
SPEAKER 5: I don't like their new uniforms. I don't like pinstripes. I like their old ones better.
SPEAKER 1: Have you seen the cap too then? The new M?
SPEAKER 5: I like the cap. That's fine. But I don't like the pinstripe, because they're like the Yankees. And I don't like the Yankees.
[LAUGHING]
SPEAKER 4: I like the old ones a lot better.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah? Why is that?
SPEAKER 4: I don't know. I kind of-- I don't like the big M. It reminds me of the Mariners.
SPEAKER 6: Oh, I don't like the new cap. No.
SPEAKER 1: I see what you got.
SPEAKER 6: Yeah, well, you have to-- you have to get one if you want to keep up, I guess.
SPEAKER 7: If they-- if they win, well. If they lose tonight, I'll get a new hat.
SPEAKER 1: Superstition?
SPEAKER 7: Yeah, well, I'll keep my new-- I'll keep my old hat as long as it works. And once it stops working.
SPEAKER 1: How about the new turf? Have you seen the new turf yet?
SPEAKER 7: Yeah, that looks nice.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah? You like that?
SPEAKER 7: Yeah. Doesn't smell any different, but looks about the same. Or it looks a lot nicer. It looks a lot Landskroener.
SPEAKER 8: Landskroener.
SPEAKER 7: It looks better.
SPEAKER 5: New turf is great. I love it.
SPEAKER 8: The new turf is absolutely marvelous. It looks beautiful.
SPEAKER 5: I love it.
SPEAKER 1: It still looks like it has a lot of spring to it, but it looks a little better than last year's.
SPEAKER 7: I like the color.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah? That's OK, I guess.
SPEAKER 7: It looks good.
SPEAKER 1: Yeah?
SPEAKER 7: It looks real good.
SPEAKER 9: Beautiful. The green is so much greener than the other. And just from the looks of it, you can see, it seems to be harder. It doesn't have as much resiliency.
SPEAKER 8: Yeah. It really looks nice. Yeah.
SPEAKER 1: You like a darker green in an Astroturf then.
SPEAKER 8: Yes, I do. If I had my choice, I--
SPEAKER 1: Yeah, it looks more grassy looking.
