Timberwolves Bring Back Prince-Inspired Uniforms for 2025-26 Season
The Minnesota Timberwolves are turning up the purple once again. In collaboration with the Prince Estate and Nike, the team announced the long-awaited return of their Prince-Inspired City Edition uniform, one of the most beloved designs in NBA history.
Originally unveiled in 2018, the purple-drenched look instantly became a fan favorite, celebrating the life, legacy, and unmistakable sound of Minnesota’s own Prince. Now, as part of the NBA’s 2025 Nike City Edition Remix campaign, the iconic uniform is making a comeback complete with new experiences both on and off the court.
This year’s rollout is bigger than ever. From a custom-designed court featuring Prince’s famous Love Symbol at center, to in-arena performances by artists who collaborated with him, the Timberwolves are going all in on honoring the legend who helped define Minnesota’s cultural identity.
The Prince uniform will make its season debut on Saturday, November 15, when the Timberwolves host their first-ever Prince Night at Target Center. Fittingly, the team will wear the jersey seven times this season — a number that carries deep symbolic meaning in Prince’s artistry.
“Prince was a genius, an innovator, and a proud Minnesotan,” said L. Londell McMillan, Prince’s longtime attorney and representative of the Prince Estate. “Seeing this uniform return is a powerful reminder of his lasting influence on the Twin Cities and a connection to a new generation of fans.”
“Bringing this uniform back was an easy decision,” added Matt Caldwell, CEO of the Timberwolves and Lynx. “Prince was a huge Wolves and Lynx fan, and a symbol of excellence. We’re proud to honor his legacy in a way that brings fans together and lights up the season in purple.”
Just like the original 2018 edition, the returning uniform blends subtle nods to Prince’s legacy with Timberwolves identity:
Paisley detailing on the left short vent, inspired by Paisley Park.
Faux studded pattern on the right shoulder, mirroring Prince’s Purple Rain jacket.
“MPLS” on the left leg — a tribute to the Minneapolis Sound.
Tonal purple logos, a stylized “Wolves” chestmark, and a custom number set inspired by the Love Symbol.
