Timberwolves Restore 'Black Trees' Jerseys for 28 Games This Season

Fan polling under new majority owners prompted the revival to tap Kevin Garnett-era nostalgia.

Overview

  • The Classic Edition will appear in 21 home dates and seven road games, opening Oct. 26 against the Indiana Pacers.
  • Target Center will feature a matching court design for the home schedule.
  • The team says jerseys and related apparel will go on sale in the coming weeks.
  • The design, worn from 1998 to 2008, is closely associated with Kevin Garnett and the franchise’s most successful stretch of that era.
  • Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore said the decision followed fans’ top request in team polling after they took majority control this summer.
