Love the royal blue unis a la Duke & Kentucky.

And line up with Leafs and Jays. Royal Blue is Toronto's color, like Pittsburgh black and gold


This artist did a version of the old jerseys, but in shades of blue, which look so much better

That works. Has the cachet of the original but blue is better than purple.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

U think they are nice?. Lol


I really don't mind them. I liked the red ones we wore in the championship season. I like the black and gold alternates. The worst era of raptors jerseys was the one from the post vince,Bosh era. Ever since the rebranding I haven't really had an issue I think they look decent. Again I'm more concerned about the performance of the team so I never really looked to hard ag the jerseys. There are jerseys I see that everyone calls iconic like the Boston jersey and they just look bland to me.


I like classic vintage like the Bulls. Stuff that doesnt go out of style. Raps current jerseys got ugly and old within minutes. Thar chevron is stupid


See this is what doesn't make sense to me. People just say old and doesn't go our of style to jerseys that have been around since the Renaissance era, and have just not bothered to change because of legacy reasons or something. It's all perception to me. Like I said aesthetically, bulls jerseys are whatever. People just say they're timeless because of the association they have with then.

Our black alternates are ELITE. The "Raptors" wording looks good without that dramatic chevron border like our other jerseys have

Make a red version of it.
Make a white version of it.

And bring back the championship North as our "City" or special edition or whatever u wanna call it.

That's it.

Nah. I like them because they are simple. That's the charm of having vintage jerseys. Less is more. Having a big cheveon across the chest is ugly which is why no one likes ours. You got some bad taste

No, no, just get rid of the chevron pattern altogether. Even without the border, it still looks bad.

I could see us bringing back the purple front/black back jersey that Vince made famous in the dunk contest.

Return to Toronto Raptors
