When the 2017-18 season begins, Karl Anthony-Towns will be in a new uniform. Relax, Timberwolves fans, he’ll still be with the team — just in a different uniform.
Minnesota announced on Thursday that on April 11, it will reveal a new team logo for the 2017-18 season.
“The Minnesota Timberwolves begin a new chapter in their franchise history by unveiling a new team logo as part of Fan Appreciation Night at Target Center on Tuesday, April 11,” the team’s release said. “The Wolves will conclude the home portion of their regular season schedule that evening by hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder at 7 p.m.”
The release added that this will be the team’s fourth new logo since entering the NBA.
As of now, the new look is a secret. But the team’s front office is immensely excited.
“We are incredibly excited to share the new logo with our fans. This is but the first of many changes that fans will see that reflect our growing relevancy at home and abroad,” CEO Ethan Casson said in the statement. “These are exciting times for our state and our franchise, and this new logo embodies the hunger, drive and passion that will define us in this new era of Timberwolves basketball.”
Let the speculation begin.
