Good thing we had to take down those uniform leaks last month -- Minnesota changed its jersey after Kevin Love had modelled it. I wish I could say the new version (as can be seen at ShopWolves.com, via Canis Hoopus) is better, but umm ... I bet it will be a hit with St. Paul's six-year-old boy demo!Of course, the Wolves will have trouble selling jerseys to anyone but six-year-olds regardless of odd designs. Love, Al Jefferson and Mike Miller aren't exactly street prophets, and anyone who wants a Rashad McCants shirt bought one last year.
I think the real crime of this particular uniform is all the side panel action. Most of the league has backed off of busy trim in favor of sharp simplicity. These trees -- and the Grinch's ski slope on the shorts -- constitute the opposite of sharp simplicity.
Thankfully, it's nowhere near the disaster those Dallas hefty-bags were. Mavericks '03, you remain atop the Worst NBA Jerseys Ever list. Congrats.
