Twin Cities SC
The top Minnesota team in America League comes in the form of Twin Cities SC. They are based in Minneapolis but represent St. Paul as well. The team was founded shortly after the great depression and played in the topflight from 1951-1989, but since then have mostly played in America One with a few seasons in America Two. They have gone deep into the US Open Cup many times and are always a threat in that tournament but have come away victorious only once in 1956. Their matches are played at the Dinkytown Grounds just north of the University of Minnesota campus. The team's crest features a TC lockup and has been modernized in recent years. The two tones represent each city while the blue and yellow are for the large Swedish population of Minnesota. The uniforms feature some of the same design language with a two-tone body representing each city and simple striping on the shoulders and cuffs. The team is sponsored by local/regional/national company Target.
