Pearls of Wisdom: Saints Go Classic During 30th Season

ST. PAUL, MN (February 10, 2022) - And they said it wouldn’t last. As the calendar turns to 2022 the St. Paul Saints are about to hit a milestone season. Put on your finest string of pearls because the Saints are celebrating their 30th season. An organization that has gone from the “little team that could” in 1993, to a mid-90s feature on 60 Minutes, to an award-winning ballpark in 2015, and now the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. In honor of 30 Seasons of Fun the Saints will offer a season long Classic celebration that includes a unique logo, humorous promotions, eye-popping giveaways, visits from old friends, and as always, fun.

The Saints will introduce a special 30th Season logo for the 2022 season that incorporates a throwback to the 90s, an iconic photo, and the colors that appear on the uniform. The background of the logo is a baseball diamond in the Saints blue with a baseball appearing at second base. In front of the baseball is an iconic photo from 1993, the first season of the Saints. A silhouette of Kevin Millar, who began his professional baseball career with the team that year, with his Saints cap on backwards, wearing a pig nose, while holding “The Saint,” the first four-legged Saints mascot. The phrase “Classic Saints,” in a 90s style font, appears in red in the middle of the baseball diamond, with the word “Saints” woven into where Millar is holding The Saint. Above the “L” and “I” in the word classic are two flags with 1993 and 2022, respectively, marking the first and 30th season in franchise history. The yellow flags represent the color on the Saints uniform sleeve. Below the “Classic Saints” is the phrase “30 Seasons Of Fun” and the intertwined “STP” logo appears around the home plate area.

During the 2022 season the Saints will incorporate a “Classic Saints” theme, honoring 30 seasons of baseball with the fun, quirky, and edgy attitude that has defined the Saints experience since day one. Whether it’s putting a modern spin on a past promotion, doing a giveaway commemorating an iconic moment, or honoring those players and coaches that have been so instrumental in the success of the organization, the Saints will honor their past in 2022, while celebrating the present and looking to the future. The organization will continue to provide entertainment that will have fans saying, “Classic Saints.”

“’30 Seasons’ of Fun wouldn’t be possible without 30 seasons with the best fans in baseball,” said Derek Sharrer, Saints Executive Vice president and General Manager. “They’ve laughed with us, they’ve celebrated with us, they’ve held us accountable when we’ve missed, and patted our backs when we did well. They’ve been our partners every step of the way and we look forward to entertaining and honoring them throughout this special season.”
