Minnesota Timberwolves: 5 worst mistakes in franchise history
By Ethan Becker
2. Changing the Timberwolves logo
This one didn’t so much hurt the team in a record or free agency stance, but it still impacted the fan base nonetheless.
In 2017, the Minnesota Timberwolves moved from the logo and design that they had been using for almost their entire run as a team and they attempted to update in and bring it into the modern age.
The only problem — the designs ended up looking more like a cartoon or something you’d make in NBA 2K than a formidable basketball team.
It seemed like almost the entire fan base had moved against it, with a lot of fans asking for the old design back and the Timberwolves official page even doing a story on the history of the Timberwolves design, saying that they were nostalgic for the designs of the past.
The new colors looked bad together, the new logo looked too animated to be intimidating and the new jerseys looked like they were designed four hours before the official press release began.
Certainly, these designs will not hold up to the test of time, considering that Minnesota has already added three new jerseys to their lineup since the brand change.
