MINNESOTA — The long-awaited jersey makeover in Minnesota is finally official, and the team is throwing it all the way back to their roots. After weeks of leaks and internet rumors, the Minnesota Timberwolves unveil new look that will completely reshape how the team looks on the court next season. The team’s official X account broke the news with a hype video showing off their “new vision. new edge. and now, a new look” theme, giving fans a massive upgrade over the plain, striped jerseys the team has worn since 2017.
Timberwolves Unveil New Look To Bring Back The Beloved Kevin Garnett Era 90s Design
The team is calling this whole fresh look “A Team Of Our Own” across their social media pages. This is the first time the new ownership group, led by Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, has changed up the team’s style. They decided to bring back a clean, modern spin on the fan-favorite colors the franchise used when they first entered the league back in 1989. Nostalgia is the name of the game right now in marketing with major brands like Pizza Hut bringing back their classic design.
Breaking Down the New Jerseys
The new look is a perfect mix of the best eras in Timberwolves basketball history. The team is dumping the boring, corporate styles of the last decade and bringing back the classic “Old Shep” wolf emblem with a clean, modern design. Fan favorites Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels even gave everyone a sneak peek by modeling the new gear ahead of the official release.

The team is rolling out three main jerseys for the season rotation:
Association Edition: A clean white base that uses the original “Lake Blue” and “Kelly Green” outlines from the 1989 inaugural season.
Icon Edition: A vibrant, royal blue look that throws it straight back to the team’s early expansion days.
Statement Edition: A tough black base highlighted by a fresh, modern take on the legendary forest green tree trim that fans fell in love with during the Kevin Garnett era.
The team even fixed up the court design to match. With a cool new tree logo on the waistband of the shorts and a sharper font on the front, these jerseys are built to look amazing on the court and as streetwear for fans.

Bringing Back the Green Trees
The reaction from fans online has been huge, mostly because everyone is thrilled to see the forest green accents make a permanent comeback. For years, fans complained that the post-2017 jerseys felt empty and lacked local flavor. By mixing the original 1989 expansion colors with the tree-trim style from the late-90s playoff runs, the front office hit a home run.
With the Timberwolves new look taking over the NBA world, the focus shifts to an exciting new era on the court. Anthony Edwards is already a household name, but hitting the hardwood in these iconic threads takes things to a whole different level. When the team steps out under the lights next season, Minnesota will have an identity that matches their championship expectations.
