Minnesota Timberwolves Home Jersey 2008-2009

I still can't believe the Minnesota Timberwolves traded away Kevin Garnett. But that was ages ago and things have to move on, right?

So, what perfect time to change the team's image all together. The T-wolves are rebuilding around cornerstone Al Jefferson and another Kevin-- Kevin Love. The team is now espousing a more grind-it-out inside offense and hopefully the energy would carry over into the defensive end.

As far as what the team is wearing on the basketball court, the T-Wolves have also made a change. Gone are the uniforms with the campy simple design, and in are the modern looking basketball jerseys.

The design takes something from the original home jersey design of the 1990's. The word "WOLVES" is emblazoned in front, instead of the complete Timberwolves team name. The details are nice-- the shapes in front and back of the neck give the illusion that its a v-neck. For me, they remind me of the wolf's fangs The the big green pine tree image on the sides plus the blue swoosh give a sharp, firm look. Perhaps it's a homage to the team's new philosophy of dominating the inside.

The new Minnesota Timberwolves jersey is quite timely, and hopefully this change will translate to a positive change on the hard court.
