Minnesota's expansion team was officially dubbed the "Timberwolves" in December of 1986, nearly three years before the first game would be played on November 3, 1989, and four months before the NBA officially granted Minnesota a team. After original owners Harvey Ratner and Marv Wolfenson submitted a formal expansion proposal to the NBA Board of Governors in October of 1986, they held a "Name the Team" contest that drew 6,076 entries from across the state featuring 1,284 different proposed nicknames. The two most common submissions, Timberwolves and Polars, were deemed finalists and the 842 city councils in Minnesota were asked to submit their vote for the winner. "Timberwolves" was selected by a 2-to-1 margin. Timberwolves was a fitting name for Minnesota's new team, as the state is home to the largest wolf population in the U.S. and the International Wolf Center, a comprehensive wolf research facility, is located in Ely, Minnesota.

Similar to the naming contest, the Timberwolves held a public contest to select the team's first logo. After receiving over 2,600 submissions, some coming from as far away as Alaska and Norway, the team settled on a design submitted by Mark Thompson of Austin, Minnesota. Original Team President Bob Stein described the winning submission as "aggressive, but not sinister." The logo was first unveiled to the public on an oversized $20,000 check that the team donated to the United Way on September 17, 1987.

A NEW ERA
On April 11th, 2017, the Timberwolves unveiled their new logo - just the second major overhaul of brand identity in franchise history. Created by Mississippi-based design expert Rodney Richardson of RARE Designs, the new logo features a howling wolf facing forward, the iconic North Star and the new Timberwolves wordmark featuring the Team Rune "A." The logo's color scheme reflects a sense of place, with each color in the palette tied to a part of the Minnesota landscape. Colors include Midnight Blue, Aurora Green, Frost White, Moonlight Grey and Lake Blue.
