The Minnesota Twins have an interlocking "TC" logo despite the letter "C" not appearing anywhere in the name. Why is that? The short answer is that the "TC" stands for "Twin Cities" -- signifying, of course, the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area.

The original Minnesota Twins logo adopted in 1961 following their move from Washington showed two twins named Minnie and Paul wearing baseball uniforms representing the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The twins are shown shaking hands over the Mississippi River and a light blue state of Minnesota map in the background.
