The Minnesota Timberwolves will unveil their schedule of six Hardwood Classic games for the 2009-10 season at the IDS Crystal Court on Monday, Oct. 26 from noon to 1:00 p.m. The Wolves will also unveil the throw-back uniforms they will wear during the Hardwood Classic games.

Wolves broadcaster Tom Hanneman will host the event, which will also include a Q&A with Wolves VP of Basketball Operations Fred Hoiberg and a chance to win tickets to the Wolves' first three home games and the six Hardwood Classic games.

Truly great news.
I haven't been so pumped about anything the Wolves have done since they drafted Brandon Roy.
I wish they'd think about wearing them into perpetuity and/or some facsimile of them.
This is going to be a great year!

Do you think they are going throwbacks this year because we are predicting to be as horrible as we were in the franchise's first few years?

Still looking for an authentic Mitchell & Ness KG home rookie jersey.

I have the KG rookie jersey. If I could drop about 20 pounds it might actually fit.

I might have to spend my lunch down at the IDS today.

How embarrassing/hilarious would it be for us if the throwback jerseys were the ones from 2 seasons ago?

Looks like they are going with the originals:

Uni Watch knows this is hard to believe, but there was once a time when the numbers and letters on the Timberwolves' jerseys were actually legible. And they're proving it by adding this throwback design, which will make its on-court debut on Dec. 5.

Did anyone go to the unveiling? Is this accurate? I like, if so.

I beg of you, no negativity about the throwbacks.

Yeah, I love the old royal blue and green. I hope they copy the Sixers idea and wear them full-time next season. No strange trim or arrows, a nice simple design.

I'm just on a little campaign to get rid of the Werepig logo. Using the secondary logo on these throwbacks would have been a step in the right direction.

My friend found a Hardwood Classics one at a thrift store. He paid 8 dollars for it.

I would love if they did this with the secondary logo on the shorts as their alt jerseys next year.

No you’re wrong. And wrong some more and more and more …

We’re sick of the Christmas trees, werewolf logo, obnoxious cartoon number/ lettering and unidentifiable design on the side. We deserve better. We had better. Never should have changed. End of story.
