The Minnesota Twins and retail partner Delaware North Sportservice have announced a new partnership with Bravado, Universal Music Group's industry-leading merchandise and brand management company and exclusive branding and licensing partner of the late Minneapolis icon Prince. The partnership will feature unique co-branded merchandise only available at the Majestic Twins Clubhouse Store at Target Field.
Among the collectable memorabilia, fans will be able to purchase co-branded Prince clothing, pins, patches, baseballs and many other items beginning on the Twins Home Opener against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, April 5.
In addition, unique Prince merchandise will also go on sale in conjunction with the team's second annual Prince Night, which will take place on Friday, June 8 when the Twins face the Los Angeles Angels at 7:10 p.m.
