Initial sentiment was in favour of reviving the Huskies nickname, but team management realized it would be nearly impossible to design a logo that did not substantially resemble that of the Minnesota Timberwolves.[6]

It's the same as the Miami Heat and the Floridians of the NBA; they're not the same franchise, but they've sort of adopted the jerseys of those defunct teams as part of their heritage, or at least pay homage to them as unaffiliated predecessors.
