The Black is Back!

Highlights:

In a meeting with David Kahn and other Wolves front office representatives, it was unveiled that the Wolves will alter slight changes to their current uniforms as well as add a third alternate black jersey into the mix next January.


This is the best news I've heard all off season. I hate the current jerseys.

Yea!! What are the alterations they are talking about? I hope they really do make them more appealing.

I have actually grown to like the blue jerseys. Still hate the white jerseys though.

The hardwood classics are still the best jerseys we have though.

Could they incorporate some of the look of the throwbacks? Maybe use more of the darker blue color.....

If the new uniforms are simpler and more traditional (like their Hardwood Classics), I personally would like to take a bow and take all the credit. Since their current uniforms were introduced, I’ve been writing letters to the front office to admonish them and I’ve pleaded with them to make a change. So hopefully, they will be something a little more classic than the last two versions. :pray:

If they suck, I had nothing to do it.

I've read the trees on the sides are gone on another site. I just hope it no longer looks like our players are wearing cutoff t's and sports bras.

you'd think that the "alterations" will be getting rid of the busy-ness around the neckline, the wavy pine trees, and hopefully the trampstamp on the back of the shorts.

I thought that the NBA was frowning upon so many black jersey's. Good news for us then. Hopefully Black and silver/gray. I'd be fine with black/green too.

January seems like an odd time to reveal new jerseys. Does this mean they are anticipating that we suck, and they'll need an "alt. jersey" gimmick to get butts in the seats?

I can see it now. They'll have a "Back in Black" month, and the team will wear the black jersey for all the home games. Hand out promotional t-shirts to the crowd and have a 'black-out', and play the AC/DC song as much as possible. lol

I'm looking forward to seeing them though, I loved the old black jerseys.

black Jerseys were the best. the new jerseys look ridicolous btw (the trees and stuff)
