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"

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

combining the Raptors 1st + 2nd jerseys basically.

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


it's most likely subconscious. probably due to the trauma it caused you during this time.

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

you're basically describing their practice jerseys. which are also great.

With us about to land Cooper Flagg, it would be a good time to rebrand. Nobody is going to buy Flagg chevron jerseys outside of Toronto.

IDK, them saying its only see your later SCREAMS to me that the rebrand is coming, and this court might be a mainstay.

I love the court though. IDK if I love the logo, but the court is great
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I'm actually one of the few that doesn't like that court that much lol all good others do but just not for me.

I do like the idea of going back to the OG brand & colour scheme but that court reminds of the "New VR" channel :lol: iykyk . Just an awkward early 90s feel to it, I'd like to find a way to do the vintage with some sort of modern twist. I think even using the ol skool "style"/appearance but current colour themes would be flames. But that court to me still needs a little tweaking, not exactly sure how I'd alter it but personally don't love the "triangles". But I'm 100% behind a rebrand that encompasses the vintage style of the OGs.

They absolutely should rebrand next year it seems almost like the perfect timing from the years of existence to the fact the franchise basically went through a full "lifecycle" and now are genuinely starting over fresh to pursue a chip again.

What did the VR in the new VR stand for anyone? And what was the first VR and what made it so special we needed a new one?

Questions I’ve always had…
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

With the huskies blue and white you are no longer seperating yourself from the blue and white of the leafs.

If they will rebrand I hope they dont use sid lee again. The watermelon was a horrible idea but probably had no choice because the league had a minimalist circular FC club style requirement.

I don’t think they need to overthink this one too much.

People love the purple. People hate the Watermelon. So bring back the purple, but update it without the dinosaur, and in the same clean style of red Canadiana era.

Found this concept that I think hits close to the mark.

Edit: lol and this literally was posted on top of the page. Disregard.
