Funkatron101 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I was working on this concept just before the Wolves announced that they were altering the jerseys and releasing a black alternate. So it's a moot point now.Currently 18 out of the 30 teams in the NBA use the color blue, ranging from royal to navy, in their branding. It is obviously a very popular color in sports, but I believe it is overused, so I wanted to create a different color palette that still retained the history of the Timberwolves.Thoughts?

Punch Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Great start! Just a few things to change, though:1. Remove the logo from above the nameplate on the uniform. 2. Remove the background from the primary logo (the part behind the wordmark and the silver triangles). 3. Where's the home jersey? And perhaps create a green alternate? Nice work, so far. As a Minnesotan, I enjoy all Wolves concepts.Punch9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Paw print logos should be reserved for middle schools and maybe high schools. Even Clemson's looks juvenile IMO. Paw prints belong painted on cheerleader's cheeks, not on professional uniforms. Just my opinion, of course. The recolor of the logo looks nice - that's the right shade of green to go with.

dgnmrwrw Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I really like this. The colors are great... much better than more NBA blue, and they really give the Wolves a unique look. You also put emphasis on what is clearly their superior logo. And I don't mind the paw logo. There's something sublime in its clear simplicity, and you would instantly know the team it represents. However, I do think if it's gonna be in a circle it needs something inside the circle with it (maybe the basketball lines), and I wouldn't put two contrasting logos on different sides of the shorts. I kinda think you should put the wolf logo on the shorts, and the paw (by itself, no circle) in green above the nameplate.

Fjm Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Love the colors. I was expecting another blue & green thing, so it was nice to see this. Black, green and silver is a great combination, which doesn't exist in major pro sports, I don't think. (CFL Roughriders?) I like the shade of green you used. I would like to see a green road or alt uni, also.The chevrons on the side of the jersey seem out of place, though. Looks too military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Love it...they need to have an emphasis on green instead of blue like they're currently doing.That secondary logo is too close to the Raptors though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panhead1 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Wicked! Try that in their current uniform style and it'll be freaking epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkatron101 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Just a quick one I did. I probably didn't match the green perfectly with my logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your design is much better, and recoloring the Wolves' uniform doesn't do justice to your talent.Punch9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Train Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 That green is EXACTLY what they should wear right now. I've always thought they should go back to the old school logo, maybe you could see what that would look like with these colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may finish the concept after a few other projects. I actually spoke with one of the VPs at a meet and greet about it, and while we both agreed it was a moot point, he wanted to see the concept anyway.I sent it off, and he promptly replied, thanking me for my insight and creativity and he forwarded it to the CMO. Obviously it will go nowhere, but I hope this opens up some avenues for fan input in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
