Timberwolves bringing back Prince-themed uniforms for 2025-26 season

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate Prince-inspired uniforms.

The Minnesota Timberwolves announced Monday that they’ll once again wear the fan-favorite Prince-themed uniforms — first worn during the 2018-19 season — during the 2025-26 season.

This year’s uniforms will come with expanded celebrations ranging from a custom-designed court to in-arena performances and more, the club says.

Fans will be able to see the Wolves wear the uniforms seven times at home this season — a symbolic number in Prince’s legacy — with the first time being Nov. 15.

The uniforms will go on sale to the public in the coming weeks, and fans can sign up to be notified here.

“Prince was a genius, an innovator, and a proud Minnesotan,” said L. Londell McMillan, Prince’s longtime attorney and representative of the Prince Estate. “This collaboration with the Timberwolves not only honors his music, but his love for basketball, his hometown, and his commitment to creativity and community. 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 for our organization. This jersey is a celebration of who we are as a team, a city, and a culture,” Matt Caldwell, CEO of the Timberwolves and Lynx, added. “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.”

The Wolves say the club will also have Prince-themed nights throughout the season in regards to in-game music, lighting, visual content, merchandise and charitable initiatives, in partnership with Paisley Park Enterprises and the Prince Estate. Plus, the club will have two City Edition giveaways:

Naz Reid City Edition Youth Jersey (first 5,000 kids ages 12 and under) on March 7 vs. Orlando.

Anthony Edwards City Edition Bobblehead (all fans) on March 28 vs. Detroit.
