Star contest: New uniform

[TorontoRapture]

Spoiler:

it started off promising, but then i got lazy.

Looks like Portland. Nice graphical work though.

A Canadian being picked first overall by a Canadian team would make the NBA a lot of money. There is no chance they don't give us the pick if we put ourselves in a reasonable position (i.e. bottom-5 record).

Actually, if we are the WORST team in the NBA, there's roughly a 75% chance we don't get the #1 pick.

what he said.. a lot people think we can just tank hard, finish with the worst record and wiggins is ours.. we can tank as hard as we want, but at the end of the day a team like the bobcats can finish with a better record than us and still get the number 1 pick. tanking betters your chance at getting a certain player, but it doesn't mean you'll get the first pick or even the 2nd for that matter. the chances of wiggins coming here is slim! very slim at that. this is why i don't get why people think ok tank hard, trade DD, Amir and Gay, draft wiggins and we're good to go.

And if you don't tank hard it's even worse than 75% chance....what's your argument that it's not guaranteed? Well no sht it's called a LOTTERY for a reason.

Try and tell me that if you could essentially have a 25% chance to win lotto max you "Wouldn't bother cause it's not high enough"......

Tried to recreate them for the Rators...

These look like women's work out jerseys with built-in bras.

Maybe it would look better as a straight line

GoodJoey nice work I like the classic Raptors logo. I think we need to go back to it.

[UcanUwill]

I like goodjoeys one. I like 00's designs, never was a fan of retro's.

Dont like triplemke23's. Just me though, I hate those basebally stripes, Charlotte and Magic had those, it looks terrible.

I always liked Amsterdam Ajax design. Not sure it works on basketball jerseys, but I would like to see Ajax-esque attempt at least.

That's sick.. it would be better if the number was in the middle of the raptor claw marks though.

I'd love for that to be our away jerseys.. maybe we can alter the font of the writing.. but it's a great design.

If TL is really really REALLY set on making this team "Team Canada", we might as well imitate that brilliant Olympic gear we had recently. I have no skills so I filled this in on paint. Font/sizes/Color/whatever is not good but the basic design is what I like and its clean and distinct. Wiz are the only ones close to it.



The inverse would exist for home and a third black alternate. Some might find it boring but I like clean but different

Our current jerseys are still a hell of a lot better than all the concepts that have been proposed. The jerseys were sleek when we first got them and they're still sleek..the only difference is that the team sucks which has significantly affected brand perception. I have respect for the process of logo/jersey designing and all that but i think some people on this board need to take a break from all of this, throw on their enyce hoodies and reevaluate their competence in delivering a multi-million dollar brand concept to the fashion capital of the country. respects for all the effort but i think there's too much support going around for tacky if not tasteless designs.

I don't think any of us would be saying **** about the jerseys if we were winning. Success enhances brand significantly whether it be from the team as a collective unit or from individual performance ala carter/mcgrady. we currently have neither a winning team nor a superstar which makes it easy to project our disappointment towards every little aspect of the organization including uniforms. I'm not a huge supporter of our current look but winning can change things and has a way of giving off certain illusions.

But coming up with concepts is fun regardless. Because our current uniforms possess no historical significance, I would be open to a revamp of our current uniforms so long as the design is timeless and is mindful of tradition, logic and simplicity. We have to go clean and simple because we don't have the benefit of a carter, mcgrady or iverson to trick people into believing an over the top design is dope.

I agree with the posters who think brooklyn has some of the better uniforms in the league. From a design standpoint it's subtle and on point but I think these positive perceptions are related to our feelings about brooklyn, the city as a brand in itself which has historical endorsements from legends like biggie smalls to jordan to jackie robinson. it only makes sense then for toronto to tie everything together and go blue because toronto as a brand is defined by the historical significance of the leafs. if we go blue i think the name has to be changed, huskies perhaps. that's just one idea.

it's cool that people are designing jerseys and stuff but if "i think this looks cool" is the basis of your proposal, **** is weak

I think we're on the same page in terms of appreciation for subtlety.Probably took you only a few seconds to do this and yet better than most if not all of the proposals so far. I thought the olympic uniforms were sleek too.

Not a significant upgrade over our current one and definitely needs more detail and development. I don't have any computer illustrating skills either but if you can learn I'd be interested in seeing a more detailed concept.

[RaptorNews]

Thanks! Yeah maybe when I have access to time and software Ill try making a more detailed, polished version of my idea that didnt involve liberal use of the paintbrush tool in Paint

[22haytham22]

A lot of you have some great suggestions but we really need to stick to the blue and white....red really needs to go.

[Turbo_Zone]

Oh man, Tim is gonna re-brand this for the All-Star game.

I gotta get something together for this guy!

[Geddy]

Looks nice. I would like if they adopted that.

[TheGoodDoctor]

Hopefully we go blue and white.

[CarterDUnk16]

Awesome logo. Looks fresh and up to date. You need to send this.

[YoungD23]

Here's an idea

TOUGH!

[Double Helix]

I didn't make that new Raptors logo. I wish I did. I just found it. I think we need to go in that direction though. Maybe if enough fans forward that logo on we can create a movement and the original artist can be contacted?

I think it's the best Raptors logo I've seen yet and with some market research and feedback... I bet that artist could adjust it even better.

A lot of you have some great suggestions but we really need to stick to the blue and white....red really needs to go.

How will everyone know we're Canada's team if we get rid of the red?

[Raps in 4]

Someone made these fake Nets jerseys, they might look nice with the Raptors color scheme

Tried to recreate them for the Rators...

Love it. Minimalism is the way to go.

[Turbo_Zone]

I wrote the Star, and they wrote back that they will be accepting these "into next week"

Just FYI
