For the third year running, Lambchops and the Minnesota Timberwolves dropped a collab collection, and for the third year running, it sold out almost immediately. Seven pieces: hats, pants, shirts, hoodies, jackets. Gone in minutes. People lined up around the block at Target Center before tip-off, running when the doors opened.
"There are people lined up all the way around, people running."
— Jordan Dye, Founder, Lambchops
KARE 11 took notice and for good reason: this isn't just a brand doing a sports deal. This is a lifelong fan who built something real in his hometown, earning a seat at the table with the team he grew up loving.
NBA licensing rules limit sales to Target Center only, with strict inventory caps. Some pieces have resold for multiples of retail. But the fans who got their hands on them? They're not flipping them. They're wearing them because it means something.
"It's quality stuff, it's authentic. Jordan is like a hometown kid — I really appreciate his point of view."
— Timberwolves fan, as told to KARE 11
That's what this is about. Not hype. Not clout. Authentic Minnesota from a brand that's been here since the beginning and a founder who never stopped believing in his city.
We'll be back next season. See you in line.
