Inspired by the outdoors celebrating “Bold North” slogan unveiled by the Super Bowl Host Committee, the Minnesota Timberwolves have unveiled their fourth and final new uniform.
The primary color of both the shorts and jersey will be tonal gray, celebrating the winter gray coat of the wolf. The white secondary color will mimic the snow-covered land “that is the North,” according to the team.
The color allows the wolf to reflect its surroundings and be an apex predator while camouflaging and protecting it, which team officials say is reflective of the “New Era” of Timberwolves basketball — hungry and determined to break through and establish a winning culture.
The pattern of the jersey, which will be unveiled Thursday, February 1, when the Timberwolves play the Milwaukee Bucks at Target Center, is representative of the wolf’s guard hair during winter months.
The “City Edition” is the fourth and final uniform design the team will unveil as part of its new look. It joins the white “Associated Edition” and navy “Icon Edition” that were unveiled in August and the green “Statement Edition” that debuted in earlier December.
Home teams select the uniform combination they wish to wear while visiting teams pick a contrasting uniform within their assortment of choices. The City Edition will be worn four times during the regular season.
Whether it’s the new uniforms or a roster full of new players, the Timberwolves are eight games over .500 for the first time since the 2003-04 season.
