They basically dumped the green and changed the fonts of the numbers to a more modern/generic one..

I don't hate the idea of losing the green, but dumping the font of the numbers while keeping the same font in the team's name is really stupid IMO.

They had the worst jerseys in the league the last couple years in my opinion (yes, worse than the Blunder's), and while its not great, this is a marked improvement. I like the color green, and would like to see it used on more NBA jerseys, but I don't like the shade used on the Wolves jerseys. This looks a lot better, though something like this would have been better.

Teams will do anything to sell new jerseys even if it's minor tweaks like that.

Lamrock, rumor is the Jazz's alternates will be green as a call back. But that might change over the next two years.

Damn, these black versions are awesome for a alt. jersey. :shock:

From the Wolves official release:
While the updated uniforms will remain the same white (home) and blue (road) colors, the team will also debut a third alternate road uniform midseason. The Wolves have been without an alternate road look since the uniforms were re-designed prior to the 2008-09 season.

Hopefully they will have something similar to your design cause I don't think they will use green for the alt. jersey.

Not bad, I'd say they've improved the trim but other than that kind of a lateral movement, a slight change for the sake of it.

I think this a good change with dropping the green.
The wolves play in the north and i doubt any green was peaking through all that snow of the last winter. fyi it was one of the snowiest winters ever in the united states.

Didn't even notice a difference first time round, but on a closer look saw the changes.

Not anyhing dramatic, not much better then before.

The teams with the body-fit Nike jerseys in the NCAA are the best. Texas, MSU, Duke, UNC etc etc.
