New Wolves Unis

I like the upgrade. I did see in the Wolves store that it isn't the howlin' Wolf on the back, but it still looks sharp.

It says in the article "There will not be a black alternate uniform this year. It is a league rule that when you introduce new uniforms, you can't wear alternates for a year." Does that mean there's plans for some black alts next season? Cause I think that'd be tight.

I asked about this and they (Wolves PR) said they are sure they will get an alt jersey back in the near future. The folks at the league office said the 1 year moritorium on alt jerseys is a marketing decision and that after that, most teams get alt jerseys. There was no acknowledgment of a plan for an alt jersey, but I think it's obvious that they will have one down the road.

I asked about the similarities to the Mavs and Hawks jerseys during the press call and the league's VP for apparel said that there is no conscious decision to have a league-wide template for this type of jersey: piping, graphic design below the arm, etc. They did say that the modern NBA jersey is likely to have a clean front with easy-to-read lettering. This doesn't leave much room for things like logos, pictures of mascots, etc. Basically, you have 8 inches above the bottom of the short and 8 inches below the arm to put in your flashes...along with the collar.

The guy from Adidas went into the type of fabric and how this uniform has a few different technical advances fropm the past jersey, and they also made a point of highighting the wooded bordering of the old jerseys in both the sides and collar, and they did so in a way that gave it all a layered look. But the graphic design on the sides is taken from the old border and it has the trees and sky.

I really like how they put "Minnesota" on the road jerseys. I suppose "Minny" would have been a bit much

Still not a fan. Al at least picked the right size. Miller is swimming in his uni.

Here it is in black.

and in green.

Black and green look pretty cool. I miss the "Timber" in the uniforms through. Wolves looks kind of stupid considering the fact that we are the Timberwovles, not the Wolves.

I dig the trees on the shorts. I like how Minny and Atlanta got away from the side panels teams like the Lakers and Spurs use, which got a little boring for me. Kindo f creative without gettin too cartoonish like some 90s uniforms.

I'm disappointed... I never liked the "smiling dog" on the original 1989 uni, but I kinda liked the more ferocious wolf on last year's jersey (introduced in 1996, I think?) Maybe I'll have to change my avatar, keep the snarlin' wolf alive...

The green and black ones are pretty sharp, too.

Every time a team gets new jerseys, the Bobcats threads look more and more horrendous.

damn the black one would be one of the best jerseys out there. it looks really awesome. green is also nice but not as good as black.

oh and I'd like to see the unis from the backside too. I want to see the wolves/minnesota pattern on the back of the shorts as it were mentioned on timberwolves.com

Wow, the black uni is probably the best looking jersey in the nba. I wish we had black and green instead of white and blue.

My first thought was definitely "looks like the Mavs". I guess that is why the blue is so light to distinguish them a bit.

Screw alt. Black souled be our regular road color. Green can be the alt. Screw blue!

From the back.

Post #34 » by **C.lupus** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 1:48 am

Hmmm. That collar is even weirder from the back. I still like them overall, though.

I made a tiny change in the black jersey to maintain the skyline over the trees and to keep the 4 color scheme. Whether or not it's intentional in the original design, it also provided a capital "M" over the trees in the shorts.

I'm not entirely sure if I like Funkatron's black jersey or this one better.
