Must have been a lot of German immigrants in Minnesota... hence,
the tricolor motif on the uni sleeves...

Actually, German Americans are most densely settled in the
traditional "German belt" of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Nebraska and Iowa.
In 1890 there were large numbers of German born immigrants in
the states of New York (499,000), Illinois (338,000) and
Minnesota (117,000). . .It was a matter of happenstance that
American railroad interests were advertising for settlers to
move to the Minnesota Territory, and later State of Minnesota,
from 1854 into the 1870′s. This is why so many
German-Americans now live in the Minnesota area.
More than 60% of the immigrants of this time came from Germany,
and yes, Norway and Sweden (both of whom you chose to stereotype
with your lutefisk reference).
You'll probably want to research the basis for your little quips
before you cavalierly toss them out here.
