kg54mvp1 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I am a huge timberwolves fan, and deciding what kind of jersey to get now is tough. What is everybodys opinion on either the retroor the current, I know I cant go wrong with the retro, and the fact that its garnett and he will be a hall of famer.But when buying jerseys to wear, do you usually buy the retro or the current??

RedSox44 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'd go with the retro, but the only problem you could run into is the fact that KG is still in the league, playing for a different team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'd go retro here for a few reasons.1) The retro uniform looks much better.2) Garnett will be remembered as a more impactful player than Love will (most likely). That Garnett jersey will be (if it isn't already) a true classic.I'd go with the retro, but the only problem you could run into is the fact that KG is still in the league, playing for a different team.True, but Garnett will be out of the league in the near future.

Most want out due to weather or the crappy team. It's a league for certain markets and Garnett's loyalty to Minnesota is rare. In other words, Love will probably be primarily remembered as a member of his next team. 15 years from now, you'll like the KG jersey better, though for right now, the Love jersey serves better.

I imagine after Garnett retires (definitely before 2015), T-Wolves KG jerseys will rise in price exponentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I always buy current but I can see one good reason to go retro. It'll never go out of style since it already did. I always get anxiety around the time of new jersey releases since I buy current and eventually it's going to go out of style necessitating a new purchase.

Mr. Aware Eagle Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'd go with the retro. Not only is it better-looking, but it's a unique jersey. Garnett only wore that jersey for one season, if I'm not mistaken. Yes, I root for teams all over the place. And I apparently favor birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Love might be gone soonHere's my thought. It doesn't matter of the jersey, but more of the player. Are you a big fan of Love or Garnett? Or are you just looking for something TWolves to wear? Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzaman7294 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 id say if you loved watching garnett for all those years and it brings back good memories, then definitley go with KG, if not then go ahead with the Love, i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCitySports Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 They're both pretty good looking. I think the current is even better, but like I said, both are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg54mvp1 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 thanks for the help everyone. Well I still do enjoy watching KG and the celtics in the playoffs, and he was a great player that brought wins to 'sota for a while. I guess the retro will be a better choice because it will never go out of style, and as much as I like the current ones, I am always afraid the players jersey I get will be traded (rubio, love, beasley) because they are still rebuilding.

Fox Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think that the question of whether or not you should get a retro jersey or current jersey varies based on the situation. There is no clear answer. In my experiences, my choice has been easy because my four favorite teams are the big 4 Boston teams. The Celtics, Red Sox, and Bruins have looked very similar throughout their existance and as for the Pats, the only time I considered buying a jersey was a Tom Brady red throwback. I think in this situation, I would definetly go with the throwback, for a couple reasons:-It looks better-The current Timberwolves design is nothing special IMO-KG might be the greatest player in Timberwolves historyBy the way, I don't think the fact that Garnett currently plays for the Celtics should stop you from wearing his jersey from the Timberwolves.
