Get Sid Lee THE **** out.

I know nobody wears jerseys now, but got damn I think these raptor jerseys had a lot to do with it. I've been disinterested since the rebrand in 2015.

It's the perfect time to do it. New era, new look.

U think they are nice?. Lol


I really don't mind them. I liked the red ones we wore in the championship season. I like the black and gold alternates. The worst era of raptors jerseys was the one from the post vince,Bosh era. Ever since the rebranding I haven't really had an issue I think they look decent. Again I'm more concerned about the performance of the team so I never really looked to hard ag the jerseys. There are jerseys I see that everyone calls iconic like the Boston jersey and they just look bland to me.

Except it will sell lots of jerseys during the time of no playoff money.

A lot of people seem to want to bring back purple jerseys, but purple is such a tough colour to get right, and the last time we used it it looked awful.

See this is what doesn't make sense to me. People just say old and doesn't go our of style to jerseys that have been around since the Renaissance era, and have just not bothered to change because of legacy reasons or something. It's all perception to me. Like I said aesthetically, bulls jerseys are whatever. People just say they're timeless because of the association they have with then.

Nah. I like them because they are simple. That's the charm of having vintage jerseys. Less is more. Having a big cheveon across the chest is ugly which is why no one likes ours

These colours don't go together, which is what made our original jerseys so garish.

Maybe I just don't care about the era unless they're winning. Imagine trying to sell me during the Bargnani era because that's where this team is currently lol.

This artist did a version of the old jerseys, but in shades of blue, which look so much better
