Raptors rebranding soon?

[greekman]

the team is in desperate need of talent. like siakam level talent

This team was a lottery team while Siakam was here too, in case you forgot.

how many games did they play together ?

Tear it down and go for a true rebrand:

I always had a soft spot for those huskie jerseys with the handwritten wordscript on front.

cant find the jersey anymore

Same... Before you even posted this I went on a hunt for them...

These would be so beautiful. But Raptors instead of Huskies.

Also, considering we're rebranding and no one will likely agree and might consider this blasphemy, I'd love to ditch the dino and feature either a simple hybrid or one of a falcon/hawk/eagle. There are many raptors (birds of prey) found throughout the city.

This is a blast from the past. Can't even remember when I designed them but it must be over a decade now. I remember the criticism of the husky face logo and it was entirely fair as I did this in the early days of GoT first airing.

That hand drawn script has held up though since putting pen to paper. I don't think I ever bothered to go back and draw it properly as a vector. The uniforms were clean and I always liked the belt loop design of the oroginal 1946 shorts.

No idea what direction they might go with a for 30 year rebrand. At this point, I'd just like a design team to ignore the past and set a clean new look for the future. However with fashion trends now locked in the grips of 90's nostalgia, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a massive dino slapped on the front.

This just kind of further cements that every Raptors jersey should have those pin stripes. People can argue about the Purple or Black/Gold or Blue or Red... but that pinstriping to me is "Raptors"

You designed those? Awesome work man.

How much would it cost us to see this same design with a "Raptors" script instead

this, but with the zig zag pinstripes would be so nice. maybe with some silver + black trim.

combining the Raptors 1st + 2nd jerseys basically.

Appreciate that. It's so long ago that it feels like a past life now. I was a young graphic design graduate freelancing at the time but I've not designed anything for longer than I care to recall!

Something about the font on that one just does not work for me.

[Bomboclot416]

The whole huskies colour scheme, jerseys, logo would have been perfect for Toronto. Woulda kept in line with the other city teams. God those are beautiful jerseys.

I think we could use purple in a similar fashion to the huskie designs. Keep it simple. Don’t include red. Maybe a grey white and purple colour scheme. And only crew cut no v necks or shiny jersey materials.

Los Manos I've been reppin' these mockups since you first posted them years back... Definitely my favourite Raps/Huskies design by far.

Fair enough. It’s the same font from the second Raptors era jerseys (the Vince years) used all the way to the Bosh Bargnani era.

purple + red is a unique colour combination. Not my favourite but it works.

I love these. This is GREAT

My favourite is second one but they are all great

The white with Scottie Barnes screaming is also dynamite

It feels dated.

[Coco Costanza]

A while back, I did this recoloring of one of the city jerseys, with a darker purple, and gold. Not sure it works, but I do think gold works with purple more than red, which clashes.

Agreed. I’m all about the jagged pin stripe.

[bozothepope]

Please, I beg of you: Stop suggesting for a Huskies name change. Enough. That name means nothing to me. I don’t care about the first nba game in the ‘40’s. What I do care about is being 10 years old in ‘95 and being a Raptors fan since day 1, and seeing that franchise called the Raptors eventually win a championship.

Also, MLSE has spent 30 years building up the Raptors brand worldwide. There is zero chance they change the team name now.

Plus, our mascot rules.

[mieshpal]

Raptors is a great name. What is a laker or knick or Celtic. Love the Raps!

Change the gold to a red and maybe add some black or white in there and that is A++
