The Minnesota Timberwolves brought back their Prince-inspired City Edition uniforms for the first time this season during Saturday’s (Nov. 15) home game against the Denver Nuggets, debuting a matching on-court design and arena programming that paid tribute to the Minneapolis icon.
The return of the purple uniforms also marked the first time the team has paired the jerseys with a Purple Rain-inspired decal at center court inside Target Center.
The Wolves originally introduced the Prince-themed look during the 2018–19 NBA season in collaboration with the Prince Estate and Nike, a partnership that returned for the 2025–26 campaign. The updated uniforms feature a paisley pattern over the right shoulder in reference to Prince’s Purple Rain jacket, while the “MPLS” lettering on the shorts nods
