Hope so, but theres not a single picture of Vince anywhere in the ACC. They took everything down due to the last days.

We not gonna change our regular jerseys yet unfortunately, but the best way to break in this new area and team turn around would be exactly that and going back to purple

Love the Vince logo. Put in on some merch and I'll be first in line.

The amount of people needing to say congratulations but he still sucks is hilarious. Like he made the HOF…this is a really nice thing, time to put your 20 years ago feels aside.

Zero percent chance. They’ll just have Purple City Edition jerseys next season.

It's going to be a long season for the Raptors next year.

I wouldn't be surprised if we retire two jerseys next year to generate some relevancy (assuming Lowry retires at end of year)

Why, are you predicting a lot of injuries?

Maybe so/so would have been more appropriate.

That being said having a terrible year like this one, always has certain trending impacts on fan interest in the following year (if you are not a good team)

People don't understand the NBA is a business. To have 2 former HOF's ( Lowry is a lock), and a championship, the franchise has finally matured. It'll be easier to market the team even during losing seasons, and will increase the teams overal value.

I remember going to Houston to visit my cousin and her husband. I decided to attend a Rockets game. They were still marketing Hakeem and their 2 titles. They were also marketing Ming and Howard along Hakeem. The team has horrible that year. My point is, they'll retire VC jersey, even if it's only just from a marketing standpoint, along with making extra money on his jersey sales.

I would consider Derozan pretty much a lock as well and it would seem likely he goes in as a Raptor too.
