I love our current uniforms, especially our black ones. We've come a long way from our putrid 90's pijamas.

I think you're on to something.


This is the Dark Red we need, even on the jersey we have now.

I couldn't do much about the logo. There's not much Raptor related imagery that can make for a cool looking logo so I just went with whatever looked best.

I kinda like it..maybe just make the front claw more toned down and subtle...or take it out completely.

I like how it captures the retro feel with new colors and without the dino though...as a 3rd jersey I love the old font and the unique look with the triangles above the player name.

I really like the cartoon versions, but have the actual dinosaur on the black jersey. So purple, red and black; all look nice/

If this is the Jersey they'll implement as the "vintage" edition than i'll be pretty disappointed as I think this type of jersey usually appeals to little kids as opposed to the more mature fans with better taste.


I disagree, someones style preferance doesn't speak about their maturity or taste. Little kids would like it better then more plain jerseys obviously but that doesn't mean it won't appeal to more mature or "grown up" people. I'm a big fan of the proffesional look and I hate cheesy ****, but I love these jerseys for what they are, a sick retro throwback...Is anyone suggesting we remake our whole jersey line like these? ALot of fans grew up with these jerseys from being kids, and kids themselves would enjoy it now so that is a big hunk of the fan base.

To be honest, I tried so many different variations with the front of the jersey that I just got fed up and went with whatever looked best out of the official Raptors logos. The claw without the circle didn't work at all, and most people hate the dino on the front (I actually like it, to be honest). When it had nothing, it looked super empty. I even tried making the 17 bigger and centered and it looked like a D-League jersey.

I'm with you on the old font and the curved nameplate/triangles though. Loved that part of the old jerseys.

There's way too much going on. Less is more IMO. Most people wanted you to get rid of the claw, not to replace it with something else.

I don't like that logo either.

I like having a Raptor as the logo, it just needs to be more badass and less Barney than the one we used to have.

EDIT: Since a lot of you didn't like the claw, I tried to make my own logo from scratch.

I can live with the second design if you would remove the crest altogether and would keep it just Raptors. It would make it less busy that way.

I like the thought of what you're doing here...but I don't have PS so I can't show you...

But I was thinking of just having the lettering of Raptors and the number, and what looks like a claw marks ripping the jersey on the side at an angle...like a Raptor clawed the jersey...I think it would look SICK.

Throwing everything else away..... forget the new number font, front logo, pinstripes, colors... all that ****.



I actually like the idea of bringing back the triangles over the name. Nice vintage look.


The rest of it can goto hell and I don't care either way. ;)

Criss-crossing lines = huge faux pas.

I think the "raptors" part is enough....it can do without the circles..

otherwise i like the back it looks nice without the triangles.

that looks pretty sick man...although sh00n may be right about the criss crossing lines...we don't necessarily need those lightning bolt like stripes
