The Nets just fired some shots. Gotta admit, this was well-played.

The old Jays logo was actually sick! Better than the new ones in my opinion!

Bit premature considering we haven't seen either yet, no? I'd be happy with a slightly boring yet classy look if that's what we get.

That tagline is also awful. So cheesy....


Exactly. The Blue Jays made this mistake a decade ago when they went with that horrible black and silver style in order to appear more hip and trendy. Luckily, they finally realized their mistake and brought the classic logo back. I can't believe the Raps are about to make the same mistake lol.


Difference is the Jays were contenders and then back to back World Series champions while wearing (The franchise's original) logo, moving to another logo for them made ZERO sense, but they were being run by Paul Godfrey, someone who makes Richard Peddie seem like an astute sports businessman. The Raptors on the other hand were nothing but mocked with their original cartoon logo and the links to Barney etc., also they have done NOTHING of historical significance while wearing their original logo, hence the leeway to change and find something different. The new logo get's a 'm'eh' rating from me, just glad they didn't go back to cartoon dinos, to busy a design, and purple.

Like the logo. Simple but different. Now it depends on what colors they go with.

Thanks for the Korean shout out OD.

Usually, but not always. The Jays logo was widely liked upon launched and its still the best logo in the country IMO.

Really biting off of Brooklyn uh (no pun intended), I do like the concept though. It emphasizes on the Raptor franchises name and all, but also brings a little dignity to our image. Imo rocking a dinosaur along with purple as our brand, was never cute. It's almost as if somebody did it as a joke. Till this day we get clowned many times over the years for that, and I'd say it might have also played a part in the the franchise not being taken seriously for all these years. Anything that can add as much class to our image as possible I'm so down for.

I'm praying that this is a big troll job and the actual logo is being kept from us until the true unveiling

I have to admit, if it's the Brooklyn look they're going for, they got it right on the mark.

I really hope the Jerseys look good but even then you still could of done a better job with the logo...

Could they of not had a **** focus group for this? Seems like more than 80% of the fans hate the logo and thats pretty hard to do considering how well the team is doing right now.

Raptors fans cry out over the years for new colour scheme and logo. The raptors organization does the exact opposite :lol:
