Had no idea this would be an unpopular opinion, but I loathed that uniform set. I hated the word mark, particularly on the jersey, where I've always preferred the team's name to be shortened to "Wolves." I thought the trees were too gimmicky. I hated the fact that shorts only had trees on the band of one leg. The only thing to like about these was the fact that the team actually won some games while wearing them. Other than that, keep 'em on the scrap heap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yeah, I'm amazed at the nostalgia for such a dated looking set. The wordmark and number font is completely emblematic of the xxx-treme 90s. Color scheme was better, but the uniforms were totally amateur.

Yes It could be the good memories growing up with that set, and KG of course, but I liked that it was out there... I mean trees on a jersey sound stupid but in my opinion they pulled it off.. I do love the original set, so here's to hoping a nod to the past. Do not have high hopes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 They're called the TIMBERWolves. Of course trees are going to work.

Dynasty Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 And I like the name "Timberwolves". There's no need to limit it to just "Wolves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Within Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 11 hours ago, MCM0313 said: If they'd had a green alt in addition to/instead of the black one they could've looked even better. That's one thing that's disappointed me with the lime green direction. I've been dying for a green alt for years but there's no way a full lime green uniform will look good. 18 hours ago, DC in Da House w/o a Doubt said: They might as well have. They used to have my favorite identity in the NBA when I was a kid. The trees surrounding the court and on their uniforms, I loved it. Their uniforms were beautiful in the KG era. And the team was actually pretty good! Even their original identity when they joined the league was great. But since then... oh man, it's all been just atrocious. It irks me and breaks the middle schooler in me's heart. Minnesota, you keep searching for something great when you already had it all along: Look at this wood! Look at the trees! It's glorious. Also count me among those who love everything about this identity. I proudly wore that blue Garnett jersey to the preseason game in Louisville last October.

njdevs7 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The tree pattern as trim is genius and works so well. Looked great on the court too. Very unique in the same way that the old Phoenix Coyotes trim was. If they updated the word mark and number font it could still be a great jersey.

I don't like the "Minnesota" script on the aways, would've looked better as "wolves" and could've saved Minnesota script for a 3rd. I don't like the U shape neck "fake V" collar. Would prefer full v-neck with trees going all the way. Hate the white arm holes on aways. Would've looked better as the jersey color. All that being said, still better than what they wear now.

Not as much emphasis on black, which should be their third color, and a modern take on the tree design. When they took the green out these were ruined. I'm also not a fan of just "Wolves." But a cleaned up version of the Garnett era may be superior still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best look they've ever had. The only thing I would have changed up are those oddly placed armpit trees. Sometimes, I feel that the designers aren't doing a good job choosing the product for the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
