Star contest: New uniform

[PHANTOMPHOENIX]

Can you post it on an image sharing website and just paste the link in your post?

I think this will work... sorry, I'm also new to image sharing, lol.

If you are able to view it, please let me know what you think. I can handle criticism. I'm not a professional graphic designer (as you'll see in the fact that I couldn't stop the colour from bleeding onto the ball) so I won't be offended.

It may not be clear, but there is a silver stroke on everything (name, number, logo, claws and maple leaf).

Thanks.

Appreciate the effort. Not a huge fan of any logo being present on the actual jersey in such a large way like that, especially with the numbering being off to the right as well. It seems to lack symmetry and appears a little too busy for my eyes.

I prefer clean and simple though. My favorite one so far is probably the Brooklyn rip off but only because I wish we would have thought of something that simple, clean, and classic-looking first.

SIMPLE
CLEAN
CLASSIC

SCC for my jersey.

I would like to see more variations of this one. How is it that they went with Raptors following the Jurassic Park phase and we ended up with Barney instead of claws.

My bland road jersey idea options a and b

Love it.

Will someone please try and incorporate this into our logo. I'd love for a "fierce" Raptor look. I like the proposed logo on some of the uniforms though but I'm absolutely tired of Barney bouncing the ball.

Thanks. Im imagining all types of variations with different colored stripes, jerseys, and lettering

Has anyone tried this font yet:

Again, I think it just has a classic, timeless look to it that will always feel like and remind us of Toronto. It was made in 1954. If you can't find it a variation on Futura (created in 1927) will probably suffice.

It will seem timeless outside of Toronto (Like Brooklyn's does) but personal to people who recognize the font in the GTA.

Except it would never really look good in conjunction with the word Raptor.

Period font that is used for something already will actually confuse consumers more.

I love the font personally.. but I really doubt it would work well together,.

They posted the sampling and selected a few. I think one of the ones from here made it.

If they go the Huskes route I hope it's chosen. Would add to the nostalgia as well and I can imagine it in white and blue.

OT: but what do you guys think of the name NorthStars?

I like it I just wish it was original.

[theSkinny]

Indeed DH, a different team name changes that completely.

All those selected on the star website are god awful and embarrasing. Actually this whole process
and even the thought of a name change is embarassing and degrading to me. Whether its the sports
teams, the mayor, the media, MLSE/Bell/Rogers, the fans ect its been humiliating to be from
Toronto lately.

As for the jerseys the only good ones they have are the black ones but with some of the crap
ive seen so far it could possibly get worse.

But I'll reiterate, the colour scheme, design, logo should fit the name. They should decide if they want to be the Raptors or not, first. Then talk about the redesign of the uniform. I guess this is a good promo thing they are doing, but it may have, what a one year shelf life? before the 2016 20 year aniversary re-branding.

Personally, i think back in the day, they should have went with the Huskies. But they didn't. They went with the Raptors. We can try and distance ourselves from that history, or we can try to embrace it and build on it. I tell you what the day we do become relevant in the league, it will be all the more sweet for the struggle. Because, I'm a Raptors fan. And I'm not the least bit ashamed of it.

If you ask me,if you want to rebrand, start with forgiving our former players and taking away the ability to enjoy what good periods we had. Stop acting like you're personally let down by them when they leave. Start to enjoy the good parts of our history. The fact is, our top three all time scorers are booed by us and one of them still plays for us. At some point, we have to stop hating ourselves and then we maybe we can stop hurting ourselves.

Celebrate our history, don't run from it. You're down on yourself or your appearance, what's the best solution? to learn to love accept yourself and put yourself first for a change? Or go get a bunch of cosmetic surgery? one's a quick fix that's hollow, and one will pay you and everyone who cares about and depends on you dividends, from that day forward.

Our history doesnt stand for much is the problem.

Honestly, I think the Toronto Castles could be really awesome the more I think about it. Imagine a blue crest with a white stone castle turret on it and the words "Toronto Castles" on it.

Has history due to Casa Loma being the only castle in North America (and if I'm not mistaken the original owner was one of the pioneers of hydro electricity in the world)

Kids love castles. A black hat with a blue crest and a White Castle turret on it would look awesome. Same thing for centre court. It would also allow us to switch to blue and white.

I believe it's considered the largest or something.

I'm walking right now so that link's the best I can do. Perhaps it's the largest in NA? I just remember this from a tour.

[theSkinny]

Only castle in a North American city.. within the confines of the city is my guess.

That makes more sense. It is pretty unique that there's a castle up on a hill like 20 minutes from downtown.

have the people here submitted theirs to the Star?
the options here are so much better, would be a great opportunity for whomever designed them if this is what they are being compared to.
