2008/09 NBA New Logos & Uniforms

[FirearmofMutiny]

Here is the Timberwolves' 20th season patch:

Man, I can't believe it's already been 20 years. Most of my childhood NBA memories were watching the pre-KG Wolves.

Oh yeah, and reply #1500 GET!

I'm with you. I vividly remember attending games at the Metrodome during the T-Wolves' inaugural season, when the team's "stars" were Tony Campbell and Pooh Richardson.

Other than those new uniforms and logos just unveiled..are there other teams to unveil new ones for this season?

Don't forget Sam Mitchell who had a stint here before coming back to Indiana in 1992.

BTW, that OKC uniform's V-neck reminde me of the 1998-2000 GSW.

Don't forget the parade of first-round center stiffs, Felton Spencer AND Luc Longley.

At least you guys had JR Rider in his all-too brief prime. He was interesting for a dunk contest or two.

They should add the words "Of mediocrity" at the bottom.

I had a thread about this patch two or three weeks ago when they first released this thing, but here's a better look at it:

"Twenty seasons, and we'll ignore the far superior logo/colors from the franchise's infancy".

Except that they weren't far superior. They were amateur at best.

Not that the new stuff is overly great. But the original T-Wolves looked like something you'd pick up at K-Mart for your kid's youth team.

East Bay Funk!

I've got an affinity for the original logo, too, but it's purely nostalgic and in no way an endorsement of its quality. Logo aside, I loved the simplicity of the original uniform set.

I wonder, when the original T-Wolves logo and uniforms were unveiled if there was a pre-Internet equivalent to this board that moaned about how the colors were too similar to the Mavericks?

I certainly thought it!

And, I thought - "Seahawks colors" as well...

Really? THat's exactly how I feel about the current wolf. Tries a little too hard to be "snarling mean". And the seahawk colors were certainly more eye-catching than the current blues/blacks.

[Gothamite]

I'm with Ferrous. The current scheme seems to be trying too hard to be tough.

[Delux247]

What are these shorts? I'm used to seeing the generic adidas practice ones that match those generic adidas practice tops.

[Krona]

that would be a refreshing, bold design for the blazers

No way. I was really disappointed when I saw in in person. I thought they were going to use their regular jerseys, a la the Phoenix Suns.

Finally saw the Kings' new roads while watching the game last night and the homes today. Nice to see that the Maloof's gave the team uniforms that are as bad as they'll be this year. If they really wanted to make a change for the better what they should have done is gone back to the previous uniform set keeping the roads purple and introducing a black alternate.

I've never been a fan of the current wordmark both home and road. The road especially looks like something the Monarchs would bring out. I also don't like the black wordmark and numbers on the purple jersey as they're much harder to read now. A definite downgrade for the Kings.

My biggest gripe? THe solid black collar that looks like electrical tape.

Phew.

At first I thought these unis were going to have a ton of potential, but seeing the full set makes me wanna puke. They make the Sabres/Thunder/Turds look fantastic. Somehow they've made me dislike that team even more than I already do. I used to constantly think that if the Kings were to ever seriously consider moving to Vegas/Kansas City/Mars/Ect I'd be one of the first out there fighting to keep them here. But as of now the Maloofs have run that organization so far into the floor in every facet that I can't wait till that sad excuse for an NBA franchise bails out and moves. Hell, at least that way Sacramento may actually have a legitimate shot at landing an MLB franchise.
