I was super disappointed at last year's Mn Twins Prince Night. They gave away umbrellas, but ran out just as got to the stadium. I saw several people who were walking around with more than one of the Prince umbrellas and families with very small children who had one for each family member. I was so sad all night. Then the next day these same people were selling them on Craigslist and EBay!!!!! I swore I wouldn't go to another Twins game, but damn some of that merch is sweet. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

No matter which park or team or sporting event - - to get the giveaway, you have to get there early. At the Oakland A's games, it's 9:30am for a booblehead given away for a 1:30 game. Dodger Stadium, all of them. Have to always get there very early, Wouldn't have mattered if it was Price stuff or a cheap, knock-off cap. | |

Someone on Facebook said that the store is accessible so you don't have to be attending a game to buy something there. This hat tho...if it's tied to a specific game, you'd no doubt have to at the minimum buy a ticket to the game to get it. Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end  | |

. Most likely the Twins have got a significantly limited deal which prevents them from selling this merch worldwide, because doing so would infringe on existing deals. . I mean, you have noticed that there's a lot of official merch out there, right? You have noticed the news articles about those deals, right? Why not think a bit about these things before badmouthing the estate? © Bart Van Hemelen

It's great marketing, actually. I really like that purple MN tee. I can't tell if they're using the "official" Prince purple, but it's sharp. I'd consider the hoodie depending on the quality of material. Personally, I'd like to know who the did the design (individual/business). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This hat tho...if it's tied to a specific game, you'd no doubt have to at the minimum buy a ticket to the game to get it. It could be accurate. My issue happened last year and it was a specific game promotion item. Sounds like the items this year are meant to be available over the course of the season, I think. I need to look into it further, but honestly right now in MN the last thing on anyone's mind is baseball Lol It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

It doesn't look like the Prince items are available thru their on-line store  Bummer. So I Don't think that info is accurate Mumio. I guess I'm going to a Twins game! Not anytime soon tho considering they cancelled all the games this wknd.It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

Yes, official merchandise is starting to appear, I tried making a thread about it last year but it keeps getting moved to the marketplace and sale thread, which it shouldn't be in...
Anyway so many new official PRINCE shirts have been released by the estate. Did you guys know recently ATWIAD shirt and UNDER THE CHERRY MOON shirts have been released? | |
