Raptors going back to red and purple?

It's been rumored for a while that they are going back to the true colors, and you can see the draft cap here:

Red still the dominant colour, here, though. Like, I understand they would want to keep it for the Raptor, but as a complimentary colour, there are better choices than red.

I’d prefer the red and purple were swapped, but it’s a good sign.

I'd imagine some kind of redux of the original Raptors jerseys given that they seem to be popular as throwbacks.

As long as Sid Lee or whoever that was doesn't do the rebranding again. Turrible

The purple we will get
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Yup and it correctly predicted our win total this season.

Very fitting.

If they’re gonna do it, then do it. Stop the teasing. Other franchises change jerseys every 2-4 years and these guys have been sitting on a bland design for eternity.

Horrible :lol: those look like a cheap Walmart version of the originals imo…and like our franchise elected for the overused ball inspired logo, just weak overall.
