New Raptors Jersey Design Leaked?

It's only ugly because the chevron is black. The red and white jersey we won the championship in was classic in its simplicity, beauty, and repping Canada's colours. It still drives me crazy that we never wore that jersey again after winning the title in it.

This is such a classy jersey, modern and yet still has a classy historical look to it. I'm good with "NORTH" on jerseys... I just hate "RAPTORS".

These are so **** trash

So many directions to go with all the cool branding elements from over the years and they come out with this?

It's NOT true unless we play home games in city to city. The "We the North" Era died after we won the title. Stop milking this.

People outside Toronto probably disagree with you. Personally as a fan of the raptors who doesn’t live in Toronto I like Canada’s team angle.

Toronto residents need to get over themselves and realize Canada doesn’t revolve around you lol

The team is literally based in Toronto though. We need more Toronto in our Raptors, not less. Team Canada thing will be wack the second Vancouver gets a team again

They don’t look as bad here, maybe it’s the shade of red? Still think some black or white trim on the collar and sleeves would improve it. The North jerseys > these though.

that chevron and the font/colors of the raptors just looks so off-brand. maybe i'll warm up to it but it looks cheaply bold to me. rest of it is just whatever.

the earned jerseys we won with are classic without a doubt.

Can the Raptors drop the "Canada's colours" scheme? These all look like amateur national teams outfits.

The Raptors need an identify beyond being the only NBA team remaining in Canada.

Not a fan however, the mock version on Lowry looks way better than the pic leaked on the rack.

I wish the Raptors would go back to purple. Maybe have an update of the OG Barney jerseys. When The Blue jays went back to blue and starting using updated versions of the World Series jerseys I became a bigger fan of the team.

Even our current raptors jerseys are damn bad. It's not really ugly or anything but it's so indistinguishable from all the other red teams in the league.

I generally like the chevron design jerseys, the red and white along with the black and gold ones were both nice jerseys.

These ones seem a little bit childish to me, I don't know how I feel about them just yet.

This is likely our third jersey though, right? I'd be curious to see what the regular home and away jerseys look like.

Last time I checked we were eliminated by Boston in the second round...so we aren't the defending champs

I was also hoping that this just a one off city jersey or something but the reports back in the summer did say the chevron was being adapted to all jerseys, thus making this our road jerseys.

I held off on buying a Jersey because the new designs were coming out, but god damn these are hideous.

The only jerseys that are worse are the Dallas and Boston city jerseys (with the cheesy graffiti and Irish fonts). Not sure why we can't hire a proper design team to make something good.
