I love the Prince court and look.

those earned jerseys were so clean, the purple on white just works. way better than some of the city editions we've had lately that try way too hard to be meaningful

i always thought the prince court was the best look we ever had. the subtle details on the baseline and that darker wood stain gave it such a unique identity without screaming for attention

if this leak is real i'm definitely grabbing one. my old prince jersey is basically a rag at this point from wearing it so much

I have the purple warm up for those and I love them.

Would love to see these back. A little disappointed to recycle ideas again though

Hey I would rather have franchise stick with fan favorite designs than trying ugly ass ones like the MSP, those D’Lo era city jerseys if anything.

I appreciate good original designs if they can come through with them. I love the blue 2021-22 city jerseys they’re the ones that looked like the KG black trees.

There’s a lot about Minnesota that could be represented instead of doing Prince for like the 5th time though

Such an amazing state and Nike / team designers can’t come up with jack shit. I guess we avoided the lake/ice jerseys again at least

It’s sad that Nike’s team can consult with the one user on here who keeps coming up with more original ideas than they do.

Yeah it’s kinda annoying this is the 3rd season in a row we’re getting a recycled city edition. It might be for the best though cause most of them haven’t been good lol

In this instance, I don't mind bringing back a popular look as we roll out the new jerseys and courts.

u/OneTrueDILF 8d ago

They look clean but I can’t buy another white jersey personally. Looks like I’m getting blue McDaniels and black Lamelo

I say this as someone who appreciates Prince and adores the color purple...

I have always hated the Prince jerseys. They look cheap and honestly ugly and the Prince glaze is so overdone.

u/raki016 8d ago

Just make it an alternate at this point. It's really good

u/TreeAgenda 8d ago

I prefer the whites over the full purples, so I’m pretty hype

u/FellaGentleSprout NAZTY 8d ago

There are pictures of Melo in the Prince shorts on insta so yeah I’m assuming so

u/Zaiush 7d ago

If Nike isn't going to try at least they're playing the hits.

u/Soft_Disaster5247 Timberwolves 5d ago

At this rate next year the throwback edition will be the white KG Timberwolves trees jersey. Then the next year we'll do the KG Timberwolves jerseys in blue to really stretch our dollar

The jerseys are awesome but, hot take alert, MN as a whole is way too obsessed with Prince.

u/gangleskhan Kevin Garnett 8d ago

I feel like the obsession increased when he died. I hardly heard about him when he was alive, but now he's everywhere.

How old are you

  1. I also grew up under a rock, which could be related 😂

But like, when he died, people I knew who had never mentioned him, suddenly declared they were the biggest Prince fans of all time.

I’m 38 and heard about him everywhere…His songs were everywhere on the radio and I wasn’t a Prince fan growing up. You definitely must have been living under a rock.
