timberwolves GREEN jersey


1991

Recommended Posts

OK, here's one for you - I have a blank Timberwolves jersey, game-issue, circa 1989. However, it's grey rather than white. It's made by Sand-Knit and has 2 tags on the lower corner - the standard Sand Knit tag, and one above reading "Designed Exclusively for the ______" (name is crossed out in marker). I think there was a smaller tag attached to this which was removed. It's not made of the mesh that my other jerseys from that era are - it's more of a doubleknit polyester (similar to the replica jerseys, but thicker).

I'll try & get some pictures up tomorrow, but can anyone help with this? I found it years ago in a secondhand clothing shop in London and it's been bugging me ever since.

Probably also a fashion jersey...T-Wolves haven't ever worn Gray/Silver either...

Could be a sales sample/prototype, too - I don't think Sand-Knit ever made that big a splash in the fashion jersey market. I've seen Sand-Knit Northwestern jerseys on eBay that definitely never nade it on the field - one was a gray jersey with the "N" interrupting the purple Northwestern sleeve striping, and another was a purple jersey with a sizeable "Northwestern" wordmark on the front.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
