Cool, but don't put too much time into this. It's not like it'll be used anywhere. I think we need something fresh rather than Barney dribbling the ball. The current claw is cool. Someone else had that interesting idea of the three rips across the jersey. Maybe Barney's head and claws ripping his way out of the jersey? Then aside from that, all new colours and fonts, etc. I hate to say but I think there's something to the colour purple, since it's our colour. Black, red...all seems generic. Even blue makes sense with our other teams. Blue and purple? I think whatever crisp and clean look we find, make it good enough to last decades, not something based on a current trend.

The red and black ones are sick. We would have to change our collars for it to work. Our current ones suck.

Here it is with straight pinstripes. Haven't played with fonts yet.
Can you try and make one with out the Barney dinosaur? I think the majority of the poster are over it by now.

Re: Jersey design (2nd design added)
I was a little bored so I had a play around with the current secondary claw logo and thought I'd post it in case you guys wanted to try and use it on a uniform. Good work on the mockups although it's not really my style (I recently posted my simpler concept in a different thread). I liked the barney jerseys at the time but late 90's retro is a few years away yet from getting my retro thirst going - it's all still a little too vivid in my memory!
Let me know your thoughts on this logo and put it to some use if you can, I think it would look sweet at centre court. On a jersey I have my doubts but that could just be that I'd rather not have any BIG logo on a jersey and just stick to some expressive lettering.

A bit too busy to be a logo, but that looks amazing.

Re: Jersey design (2nd design added)
^^^^ My thoughts doing it were anything must be better than a claw inside a circle!
It is too busy though for my liking also. I just can't see the team ever ditching the claw and there has to be a way to make that logo a little more dynamic. I agree this is a tad ott haha.

That's the problem with the Raptors name. There's really not much you can do logo wise. You could do a logo similar to Golden State's, which is why I went the circle route, but that's about it. The claw is too damn plain and though I like the dinosaur, a lot of people hate it. That's why I like the Huskies unis so much. Simple and to the point.

Re: Jersey design
If you put the original numbers back on (I know others requested cleaner but I always liked the lettering) and they will look sweet - especially the black. If the jerseys had looked like that in the first place I doubt they would have been replaced so quickly.

Did you see my jersey designs I posted a few weeks back? I can't remember if you posted in that thread or not. They were much more in line with a raptors twist on classic huskies style.

all the mockups in this thread are terrible, from the text, to the design.. everything. the black one we already use is infinitely better.

seriously though if ur gonna bash the jersey at least come up with something that makes sense

I think with the pinstripes versions you have to go full clown..original purple with raptor on front. No point in trying to dress that turd.

Hey nonc, it's just people trying things. My goal was to se if I could make the original any better. Many of us know the curent one is better.

By all means, create and post something better. I'd love to see it.

Re: Jersey design (2nd design added)
First, change the Raptor to a bird of prey from Barney, go with a height theme (perhaps blue and white), figure out how to incorporate the CN Tower into it. I think the city has a very distinctive skyline. Perhaps a silhoutte of the skyline in the words TORONTO or within one of the letters. Maybe a raptor is perched at the top of the tower.
