Logo Rebrand (Everything Huskies/Raptors) Megathread

I'd be pretty disappointed if this was the new scheme

That doesn't scream 'full rebrand" to me.

[almatic]

No way they rebrand after this winning season, right?

Why go back to square one?

They already applied for the rebrand last year. For some reason they had to wait a season.
It's like they've advanced a square, and the purple resurgence is an example that the LEAST they could do is recincorporate purple back into the colour scheme.
Who knows what they have in store for next year, but rebranding when your team is surging & your apparel is moving quicker than ever makes more business sense than rebranding as a bad team trying to get merch sales off fresh colors rather than an actual good team product.

i figured it out, so obvious now

Did they have to wait a year or did they want to wait a year to have it coincide with the ASG and buy time for the team to turnaround (although it turned around much quicker than anyone expected)?

[chuckdevlin]

I have a huge secret about the Raptors rebrand but i've been asked not to let anyone know. It's actually pretty fun to know something big that will happen that no Raptors fans/media knows about.

Cheers!

Wasnt it supposed to be released already? Like November-December of this year?

[tdotboyy]

I'm anxious as hell to see what they've come up with.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WANNA KNOW!!!!!!!

I believe the NBA makes teams wait a year for the "process." It was widely known last offseason that Charlotte would be switching from Bobcats to Hornets, and they had to wait out a whole season.

I'm probably the only person on this board really not looking forward to this rebrand, and if I'm being honest, kind of pissed about it. We've had these colors for the longest of times, all the miserable seasons, all the Bargnani seasons, all the growth seasons, and now, finally a chance to win with these colors and they want to change it? Just doesn't make sense to me... Also doesn't help that I love the color red.

You may look at it that way, but each rebrand the Raptors went through represented a new era, the purple era represented the young fresh Raptors team with a lot of potential, the red era represented the post-VC era, the Bosh/Bargnani era and the miserable seasons. Now that the Raptors are finally succeeding, it is a time for a rebrand to stop being associated with the past.

[Rhettmatic]

The current colour scheme is just super bland. Raptors jerseys have no real distinguishing feature in their design or colours.

Sounds like the rebrand will be distinctive, one way or the other, and it's a good thing.

[Lateral Quicks]

The purple retro jerseys are terrible. I'm OK with re-incorporating purple so long as its with a modern jersey design.

I hope the re-branding involves bright colours. I don't want to see black and gold "Drake OVO" uniforms. Personally I'd just stick with the Red and White and use the new Purple jerseys as an alternate. They may be a bit bland, but that also makes them less likely to be hated by a large percentage of the fan base. The risk of a re-brand is that the fan base hates them. See, for example, what the Miami Marlins did a few years ago.

I don't want different eras... I want a tradition... I want to be associated with all of the Raptors past, the good, the bad, and the indifferent...

[RaptorNews]

Only three teams have maintained a relatively consistent look throughout their history: the Lakers, Bulls, and Celtics, the three most successful franchises in NBA history and three teams that have consistently been lauded for their aesthetics.

Let's get real here. We have no "tradition" with these jerseys

Yes there has been slight variations (font change, elimination of a colour) but not significant rebrands (ie changes in colours, logos) to the following so I would have to add:

NYK, Miami Heat, and SAS into the mix as well...

[mieshpal]

Red, Black, Purple, White....

Mixes all our organization colours

Agreed.

Should the Yankees change their jerseys now that the Jeter era is over?

We need to just pick a jersey design and stick with it forever.

I'll miss the red if we go completely away from it; we've had some red in the design since the beginning.

Black and gold? I don't know... Not feeling it.

[Young_Buc]

I don't mind continuity, but red and white isn't it. Bulls own those colours. Let's own our own.
