Timberwolves is an awesome name. TWolves, Wolves.

Wolves colors, font, and jerseys generally pretty good. I love our blue road jerseys and the Lights Out ones with the blue "collar". Not a big fan of the while home jerseys but everything else is great imo.

Whoever did these redesigns should be hired ASAP. In my opinion, 19 teams could make significant upgrades if they switched to these logos. The Thunder, Rockets and Kings are my favorite redesigns. Clippers, Spurs, Pelicans, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Hornets, 76ers, Raptors and Jazz are also significant upgrades to what those teams are using now.

Seriously, check out that stuff. Awesome work.

I only liked about 5 of those as upgrades.

He was hired. I think ours looks too much like a polar bear, but he has some great ideas.

Hired by who?

Some of them are too cartoonish, like the Celtics, Bulls. Those teams will never change logos. But I really like what he did with the Thunder, Rockets, Kings and Pelicans. Even making small changes to the Spurs was a nice touch.

I like the Nets, Nuggets, Rockets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Kings, and Spurs as improvements. Most of the rest are unnecessary and not significantly different than the current ones or, in the case of the Cavs and Raptors, just horrendous.

He made the same mistake as the Timberwolves with his Thunder one. It's too busy. Also, brown should not be a primary color on a sports team. It literally says "this team is ****". I do like that he used a bison, though.

The Wolves one is meh. I like the idea but the execution was bad. At first glance it looks more like a shark than a wolf.

I'd take that guy's Raptors logo over what they're using now, basically a stolen and uglier version of the Brooklyn Nets' logo.

But seems like we're all in agreement that the Rockets, Kings and Thunder logos are vast improvements. The Thunder don't currently HAVE a logo period, so that bison is awesome. Fits with Thunder and with Oklahoma's heritage.

I don't like what he did with the Wolves, either. It does look like a shark. I couldn't place my finger on it until you said that, but you're right. Maybe he's on to something....Minnesota Wolf Sharks? Ha.

I didn't care for his wolf, it looks more like a cat than a wolf.

Raptors logo is classic 90s, no way should they change that in my opinion.

I'm still voting for my Twolf logo as the logo the team should use. :p

It's m2002brian's "baby." I just put my spin on it a little. Still could use some refining.

Everything that I hate about the current Mavs logo, applies to this.

For the record, the previous tweet is by a previous Timberwolves.com writer. The original twitter page has also been mentioned by other former Wolves staffers, and is followed by the Timberwolves Entertainment Network, Jon Krawczynski and Jeff Munneke (Wolves VP of Fan Experience). So this will be seen by the organization.
