Our rebrand will be in the 2025-2026 season to coincide with the 30 year anniversary I believe. Just in time for when Scottie and Flagg takeover the league.


We celebrated the 20th anniversary during the ‘14-‘15 season, so I think we’ll at least get new throwbacks by November

Literally every team's branding is better than ours. I legitimately think we have the ugliest jerseys in the NBA.


It’s that damn chevron they just won’t let die.

I actually like the black alternates though.

As for the Clips, it’s just bland and boring.

It's a pretty lazy rebrand. Its more of a rearrangement that any kid in his mom's basement can do for a pizza.

For Toronto, I'd say the best rebranding has been done by the Jays when they went retro in 2011. The current designs are awesome.

Raptors can gtfo out with their watermelon ass logo and ugly jerseys. Never hire Sid Lee again

The Jays and Leafs celebrate their history while the Raptors run away from it. I get the Raptors didn't have any success with those jerseys, but the design has become iconic, to the point that current NBA players regularly cite it as their favourite jersey of all time.

The red version even looks great, if they wanted to go that route (but I'd prefer it if they went back to purple).

I don't know why the Raptors have been pushing the gold look over the last few years


Someone higher up wanted gold to be one of the team's colours, as early as the DeRozan days.

Ships were called Clippers back in the day.

Might as well say Toronto Raptors jersey's back in the day gave Jurassic Park vibes.


Nothing about this logo suggests basketball, though. At least our original logo featured a raptor dribbling a basketball.

It kinda just looks like they took the Winnipeg Jets logo and said 'but make it nautical'

Ironically this is exactly what the Clippers did as well.

Hard to beat the Jays logo, colour scheme and jerseys though. Top 5 in pro sports on all accounts.
