As far as clean designs go, Simon Chen's designs are all top notch. I can honestly imagine all three, although his Raptors design reminds me a little too much of the last Rockets uniforms but now that they've went back to yellow again I suppose that's not too bad.

His designs are 7, 8 and 9.

I have to admit that I kinda like aspects of the home court design of #21 but I dislike the jerseys and color scheme. Note the use of the official city font. The center court design is also kinda cool with the claw marks and the head-on logo.

Los Manos' Huskies unis are still my favourite, however these above are probably my #2, #3 and #4.

:-o Those purple jerseys are amazing. Seriously, when I suggested we go to something simple with the purple and red, that was what I was suggesting. Simply amazing, classic...hats off to the designer of those.

^Those with #12 primary logo with the matching purple = successful rebrand.

I know I'm going to sound like a grouch but.. every attempt that I've seen so far has either been original or professionally done. None of the well-made ones are original, and none of the original ones are well made.

They all either look like an existing jersey, use a typography more suited to baseball, or are just plain generic/bland hidden under the guise of "simplicity" or "minimalism."

Come on people, why do you think everyone loved those VC day pinstripe purples? There was nothing clean or simple about them - they were cheesy as **** but they were one-of-a-kind and had character.

The best jersey design will be one that looks ridiculous at first glance, but has some distinguishing feature or lovable flaw that makes you like it more and more every time you see it... IMO!

Gotta love the Toronto Tankers with the sinking ship. That is classic.

I was all for the rebrand but those retro Purple jerseys just keep catching my eye.

Someone put a lot of work in on that Toronto Rouge troll attempt.

I don't get why so few of them have logos. I like 3 and 18 but a logo really defines the jersey.

Are absolutely wonderful. That's how you rebrand a team.

So far out of all the rebrand logos i've seen, these uni's are the frontrunner.

The presentation is great, but the actual result is gawdawful. I wouldn't go near those jerseys.

hey guys I had this idea for a uniform/logo re-brand last night and it just really got a hold of me. i finished now tell me what you think of it.

http://www.behance.net/gallery/Toronto- ... nspiration

In trying to establish the Toronto Raptors as Canada, I began thinking about what truly binds such culturally disparate provinces together, some that speak different languages. some that exist in Arctic climates.

I started thinking about the pacific railway the economically tied this country together and really cemented its existence as a sovereign nation and the fact that they took a Shield as its logo.

so i ran with the shield concept.

Image

the north star + a shield+ the canad red white red triband = this logo.

if you want to see more.

LOVE IT! honestly one of the best designs/concepts i've seen - and i've created a few myself. What about playing a little more with the railway concept? maybe having subtle tracks in the stripes?

great work buddy! truly inspired.

I would like the idea if for some reason Canada had a name, but Toronto Canada Shield leaves no room for expansion. The idea and jersey is awesome though.

^Same here.

Wow Dr. Comeback, welcome to the board. Incredible design and very unique. Love the jerseys and it's the only design that integrates Canada as a whole in an original, cool way. ONLY thing I would change is the number font. That's it. Otherwise, really good.

If you'd like, I would honestly create a new thread promoting this particular rebrand. Get it some more attention and hopefully MLSE will take notice.

Incredible work. You definitely have a supporter here,

Ice

Can we bring this back now that we know we're going to remain the Raptors?

Same name, new logo, new colours... can we get some of the artists on this board to rebrand the team? It'll be nice to see some ideas.

Mods, if you can rename the thread... no Husky talk.

I really don't want this post to be overlooked. The background and thought that was put into this, and the sheer appeal of the design is beyond phenomenal. I think this needs to get some visibility at MLSE.

Well done OP.
