The Minnesota Timberwolves are returning to their roots next NBA season with a new logo, new uniforms and a new court.
The team revealed their wholesale updates on Sunday, June 7, including some subtle nods to the design elements present in the team’s 1989 debut.

“This franchise means something different to every generation of fans,” Timberwolves CEO Matt Caldwell said in a news release. “We wanted this new look to reflect the pieces of Timberwolves basketball fans have always connected with, while also feeling true to the team and culture surrounding this franchise today.”
Fittingly, Timberwolves icon Kevin Garnett (1995-2007, 2015-16) helped model the new unis.
The most obvious change is a return to the franchise’s original blue, green and white color palette.
While the “Wolves” part of the team nickname is prominent on the updated jerseys and on the new on-court logo at Target Center, the team is also paying homage to the “timber” portion as well − with a ribbon of pine trees lining the sleeves of the uniform and waistband of the shorts.
The original Minnesota Timberwolves logo from their inaugural season of 1989-90, as worn by the team during a throwback game against the New Orleans Pelicans in 2023.
And finally, the franchise offers an updated look for the beloved Old Shep mascot, with a brighter, more colorful wolf logo.
