MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – The Minnesota Timberwolves open the 2025-26 regular season Wednesday night at the Portland Trail Blazers.
Monday, the Timberwolves unveiled Prince-themed City Edition purple jerseys that they’ll wear for select games this season.
Prince-themed jerseys
What we know:
The “Purple Rain” style jerseys were first introduced in 2018 and quickly became among the team’s most popular. They were made to celebrate the life, legacy and sound of Prince.
The team offered details on what the jersey will look like:
- A paisley detail in the left short vent, nodding to Prince’s creative sanctuary, Paisley Park.
- Faux studded pattern on the right shoulder that echoes the iconic jacket worn during his Purple Rain performance.
- “MPLS” on the left leg to represent the Minneapolis Sound Prince pioneered.
- Tonal purple Timberwolves logos on the leg and waistband, stylized “Wolves” chest mark inspired by Purple Rain, and custom number set that plays homage to his iconic Love Symbol.
Prince nights at Target Center
Why you should care:
The Prince-inspired jersey rollout also will include a custom court design at Target Center, featuring his Love Symbol at center court. There are also in-arena performances planned by artists who worked closely with Prince.
The Timberwolves will debut the purple jerseys this year on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Target Center. That’s their first Prince-themed night at Target Center. The Timberwolves will wear the jerseys for seven home games.
Timberwolves Black Tree uniforms
Dig deeper:
Back in September, the Timberwolves unveiled “Black Tree” style uniforms that they will wear this season to pay tribute to the teams that regularly made the Western Conference Playoffs. That was a time when Kevin Garnett led the franchise. They’ll wear the uniforms for 21 home games.
Timberwolves season starts
What’s next:
The Timberwolves open the regular season with a pair of late night West Coast games. They’re at the Trail Blazers Wednesday night, then at the L.A. Lakers Friday night. The Timberwolves host the Indiana Pacers for their home opener on Sunday, Oct. 26.
The Timberwolves are coming off a second straight run to the Western Conference Finals.
MANCHESTER, Iowa — A Minnesota man has been arrested in Manchester after police say he attempted to meet someone he believed was a minor for sexual activity.
The Manchester Police Department said Robert Fenn Eselby III, 23, of Minneapolis was arrested Feb. 27 following an undercover investigation.
According to police, Eselby contacted an undercover officer posing as a juvenile through several social media platforms. Authorities said he was informed multiple times that the person he was communicating with was underage.
Investigators say Eselby sent explicit photos and videos and later arranged to travel to Manchester to meet the supposed minor for sexual activity.
Police said Eselby was taken into custody immediately after arriving in Manchester and was transported to the Delaware County Jail.
Authorities also said Eselby allegedly attempted to ask an arresting officer out on a date during the booking process.
Eselby faces one count of grooming, a Class D felony, and one count of disseminating obscene material to a minor, a serious misdemeanor.
Court records show he remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
What exactly is a data center and why are so many being proposed across Minnesota?

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis is ranked among the American cities with the most people in financial distress nationwide, according to a recent analysis by WalletHub.
The personal finance website, which defines financial distress as having a credit account in forbearance or with deferred payments, looked at the country’s 100 largest cities without data limitations across nine metrics, including average credit score, change in bankruptcy filings year-over-year, and share of people with accounts in distress.
Minneapolis came in 44th on the list, between Stockton, California, at 43rd and Fresno, California, at 45th, according to the ranking.
Nationwide, the cities with the most people in financial distress were Chicago at No. 1, Houston at No. 2 and Las Vegas at No. 3, the ranking said.
“Getting out of the downward spiral of financial distress is no easy feat,” according to WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.
“You may get temporary relief from your lenders by not having to make payments, but all the while interest will keep building up, making the debt even harder to pay off. People who find themselves in financial distress should budget carefully, cut non-essential expenses, and pursue strategies like debt consolidation or debt management to get their situation under control.”
