I hate the white jerseys with a passion. Looks like they're hooping in some pajamas.

These are my favorite. Stays true to the mascot and having purple is unique in this league. The Huskies jersey would ideally be our alternate.

The purple version of these is one of the most popular throwbacks in the league. They rocked those a few times in the 20th anniversary season in 2014-2015 and havent worn them since. Its a shame.

Let's hope so, it's time. These Captain Canada jerseys with those 2 big a** chevrons on the jerseys and the shorts are just ugly. Be proud of your history and DNA and bring some purple/black/silver/white back. Raptors have by far the ugliest jersey rotation.

Into the jersey. The shorts, while iconic, are meh. Cleaner shorts and similar jersey with the OG logo would be great.
I believe in Masai.

Well.. there are as many teams with purple in their kit as there are red/black.

These 100%. Such an iconic look and really unique with the contrasting black back, no one does that.

Honestly the first jerseys with the dinosaur logo are by far my favorite jerseys.

I don't mind the chevron look, especially the red & black and red & white theme.

I actually hated the purple jerseys from the Vince Carter era.

Very excited to move past the We the North branding and to see what our new logo/jerseys will look like.

At this point, I'd welcome the watermelon jerseys back if it meant getting rid of the stupid **** chevron jerseys.

This will be like when they rolled out the We The North campaign. The Raptors "brand" has gotten stale over the past few years.

100% the best jersey design we have had, both the home and away versions.

I never cared for the move to "Canada Red" and I'm not particularly interested in "Toronto Blue". I can live with the occasional OVO black and gold and while the retro Dino jersey's are nice as retro jersey's I think they would be awful as regular ones.

I think the combination of purple, red and black is the way to go as it encompasses all the era's of Raptors ball.

I like the dino jersey's but I think they will get a little tiring if worn every game. It works better as a 3rd / alternate jersey.

We have had great alternate jerseys come and go yet somehow we never see them again. Not sure who in MLSE is obsessed with chevrons, when no other team in the league has them. They need to be fired asap.
The current red ones have to be the ugliest ones in the league and history of our team. Guaranteed our players are embarrassed everytime they wear them. For some reason we use them in all our photoshoots at the beginning of each season, as well as press conferences for new players. Are they freaking blind?? How can they not see this?? The black and white ones are at least passable but I wouldn't miss them.

Charlotte brought back their retro 90s ones and as much as I hated ours in the 90s they have grown on me and generally seem to be retro cool. I remember our players raving about them when we brought them back a few years ago. The fans were also elated by it. Not sure why our team completely ignores that. Our retro ones often top the best jerseys of all time lists.
Anything but what we have currently.
