Of course Minnesota is the Land of 10,000 Lakes. That was put on display for the nation last season when the Minnesota Timberwolves unveiled their 2023-24 city edition uniforms. In 2024-25, they are completing a two-year story arc, as a continuation of last year’s run to the Western Conference finals.

NBA teams change their “City Edition” uniforms on a regular basis. That’s what they are meant for. Each year, NBA franchises show off new uniforms for use at home, on the road, and as alternates. But instead of completely starting new for this season, the Timberwolves are doing a Part II version for last year’s ode to Minnesota’s summer lake life.

In very “up north” fashion, this updated City Edition uniform (which was revealed on Monday) is a severe cooldown. Instead of liquid water, these uniforms are supposed to feel (literally) icey. We went from floating, tubing and beer frisbee, to ice houses, tip-ups and augers. Unfortunately, there is no tip-up or ice auger on the new jerseys.

The new uniforms are described as featuring the feel of ice-covered lakes under a moonlit sky. It’s a well-done tie-in from last year’s version, which got a very lukewarm welcome, The blue color has flipped positions on the jersey, and there is much colder feel to these threads, than there was for the 2023 offering. The ice pattern was designed in Bloomington, Minnesota.

“When it comes to the cold of winter, Minnesotans don’t just survive, we thrive. We’re excited to complete Nike and NBA’s two-year City Edition story arc with a celebration of lake life in Minnesota – ice cold style.”

Minnesota is scheduled to wear the new uniform 23 times this season. They will debut the City Edition jersey on Sunday November 17 against the Phoenix Suns. Fans in attendance for that game will receive a City Edition rally towel as well. To match the uniforms, Minnesota has unveiled a new court as well.

If you’re going to lean into the notion of being cold, then residing in Minnesota is a good place to do it. These City Edition uniforms perfectly encapsulate winters in the north, and lake life still lives on in the frigid temperatures.
