They also take the most artistic license when it comes to branding. The best versions, like the Wolves' Prince inspired purple jersey (ok, yeah, we’re a little partial to our hometown team😉), eschew the team’s normal logo colors in lieu of something more vibrant and creative! Of course, a few of our dance team friends have created their own version of the Nike City Edition looks! The[Laker Girls](https://www.nba.com/lakers/lakergirls), [Wolves Dancers](https://www.nba.com/timberwolves/dancers), and the [Wizard Dancers](https://www.nba.com/wizards/wizardsdancers), all took part in creating looks that pay homage to their team's alternative jerseys.  Check out each of the uniform designs below from [Nike](https://news.nike.com/news/nba-city-edition-uniforms-2018-19), and the story behind each design! ## Minnesota Timberwolves Dancers'City Edition Uniforms The Wolves' jersey celebrates an unforgettable Minnesota Icon: Prince.  In a year that he would have turned 60, the jersey incorporates the requisite color purple and a lettering style similar to the Purple Rain album cover.  The shoulder of the jersey and the shorts on the dancer's uniform feature studs - which mimic the stud detailing on the iconic suit Prince wore in the Purple Rain movie. ![Timberwolves city edition jersey](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Timberwolves.jpg?width=790&name=Timberwolves.jpg) *The Wolves City Edition Jersey (left, via  [Nike](https://news.nike.com/news/nba-city-edition-uniforms-2018-19)), and the Wolves Dancer's uniform.  * ![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/wolves-outfit-2.jpg?width=390&name=wolves-outfit-2.jpg)  ![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/wolves-outfit-1.jpg?width=390&name=wolves-outfit-1.jpg) ![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/wolves-group-1.jpg?width=790&name=wolves-group-1.jpg) ![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/front-of-outfit.jpg?width=390&name=front-of-outfit.jpg)  ![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/side-of-outfit.jpg?width=390&name=side-of-outfit.jpg) *![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/wolves-group-2.jpg?width=790&name=wolves-group-2.jpg)*  ![MN Wolves city edition uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/wolves-group-3.jpg?width=790&name=wolves-group-3.jpg)     ## LA Laker Girls' City Edition Uniforms These purple jerseys are a nod to Magic Johnson and his storied career.  The pinstripes on the players' jersey are actually the words “3X5 SHOWTIME," which is a reference to Johnson's 3 MVPs and 5 championship rings.   ![Lakers city edition jersey](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Lakers.jpg?width=790&name=Lakers.jpg) *The Lakers City Edition Jersey (left, via  [Nike](https://news.nike.com/news/nba-city-edition-uniforms-2018-19)), and the Laker Girl's uniform (right). *   > [      View this post on Instagram    ](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq1aYNEH6MT/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading) > > [Perfect start to the weekend!!
