The Minnesota Timberwolves recently unveiled their 2024-25 City Edition uniforms, which capture the essence of a cold winter night in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.”
“When it comes to the cold of winter, Minnesotans don’t just survive, we thrive,” chief marketing officer Mike Grahl said. “We’re excited to complete Nike and the NBA’s two-year City Edition story arc with a celebration of lake life in Minnesota – ice cold style.”
As mentioned, the predominately white uniforms follow last season’s City design, which was mostly blue and featured a water texture pattern on the front and back of the jersey that evoked images of summer.
However, the water texture pattern has been replaced by a handmade ice pattern that transitions to black around the shoulders, reflecting the contrast between a moonlit night sky and the ice-covered lakes.
The jerseys are complete with the same “Minnesota” wordmark as last season across the chest, as well as white silicone stripes down the sides with a debossed “Land of 10,000 Lakes” that mimic tracks in the fresh snow.
That stripe is carried over to the shorts, which also include a black-and-white version of the Timberwolves’ primary icon with the aforementioned ice pattern in the background on right leg and the state outline on the waistband.
The matching court, meanwhile, places the aforementioned primary icon at the center and the ice pattern in the keys. The out-of-bounds area is black with a white “Minnesota” wordmark on the baseline and “Land of 10,000 Lakes” on the bottom sideline.
The Timberwolves will wear their new City Edition uniforms 23 times this season, including home games against the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 17, Sacramento Kings on Nov. 27, Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 2, New York Knicks on Dec. 19, San Antonio Spurs on Dec. 29, Boston Celtics on Jan. 2, Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 11, Denver Nuggets on Jan. 25, Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 12, Oklahoma City Thunder on Feb. 13, Spurs on March 9, Utah Jazz on March 16, Indiana Pacers on March 17, New Orleans Pelicans on March 21 and Brooklyn Nets on April 11.
