Sport Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 2 hours ago, Lights Out said: I've never liked the Garnett set. IMO, there wasn't enough color and it looked washed-out. The wordmark they used back then was one of the worst in sports history, too. The post-Garnett set took what worked and refined it to make a modern classic. I know people think it was too busy, but IMO, busy is not the same thing as bad. There's nothing wrong with having an intricate, detailed uniform if it looks good. Shrug. Opinions, man. I happen to love that wordmark. I know people think it was too busy, but IMO, busy is not the same thing as bad. There's nothing wrong with having an intricate, detailed wordmark if it looks good. In this case they offset the extensively detailed wordmark, and number font, and the logo on the right side of the shorts by having a barebones uniform and containing all of the design elements within the trim. (It's pretty similar to the Grizzlies original uniforms now that I think about it). I also love the tiny quirk of having the shorts cuffed on just one side. The reason I ranked those above the post-Garnett set is that it had that late 00's thing where there was piping and design elements seemed to bend and curve at seemingly arbitrary points with no rhyme or reason for why they've placed them the way they've placed them. I wouldn't even call it "busy", I'd call it piping for piping's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for articulating what made a lot of recent NBA uniforms so bad. You're absolutely right. The last Atlanta Hawks set comes to mind as the worst offender. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengin. Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I like the leaked jerseys considering its different from the rest of the league. It has basic elements that don't try to be modern. My only negative is that there is a lack of historical team elements that made it stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 New wolves shorts. So seeming like no green at all except a tad on the logo. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkatron101 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You know which team would look good with this style? The Clippers. That stripe pattern looks like surfer/swimming trunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satomiblood Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The template isn't bad. It's just the blatant lack of green that bothers me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbj273 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I actually like the shorts, and I like the leaked jersey EXCEPT for the needless 2nd stripe over the wordmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Can someone mock up a few of these in their other colors? Navy one, white one, green one. I'm not talented like that or I would haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Unpopular opinion: this leaked uniform is far and away the best Timberwolves uniform since their original away uniforms: Not that that's a high bar to clear, granted. The only redeeming quality to the Garnett-era unis were the cuffs, IMO, and I don't like their current piping-happy uniforms one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra unpopular opinion, I never even liked the original Minnesota set. Minnesota is a team that has never had a uniform I particularly cared for, honestly. I think the new ones may be the best set they've ever had, but like you said, not a high bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 That's really uninspired. They did a good job with the new logo and went to lengths to promote the new bright green and then they just leave it off the uniform altogether? Why? I really don't understand those decisions.

Satomiblood Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I mean, the team shouldn't act as if green has never played a significant role in their identity. It was not only an inaugural color, but it was also utilized during their most successful era in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of the original set, myself, though I think it's an okay though undistinguished uniform. I'm looking forward to seeing actual pictures of the new ones - they may very well beat out the original set, in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 These new uniforms just look like something that could be picked out of a catalog. Maybe when they're officially unveiled there'll be some more distinguishing features to them, but I'm not feeling very optimistic about that. And like others have said, the lack of green in the leaked white uniform is a head-scratching move, and the navy "Icon" uniform will probably have the same issue.

FightingGoldenDevil Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 As a timberwolves fan I'm extremely disappointed. Why did they do any of that? It has nothing to do with anything we've ever had in our identity. Why not include green more than in our last set? Burn them all and start over. Minnesota can't do anything right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If that really is their new look, they just dropped to the very bottom of the entire league.

DJT Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm wondering if there is a tree pattern in that smaller stripe on the shorts and jersey. Maybe even in the green, but i'd feel we'd be able to see that so probably not in green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
