Looks like the Star decided to release some submissions early:

I believe one submission is from this thread. Most of them are terrible - especially the one dude that can't stop thinking about the Leafs.

Wow these are dissapointing. I only like #2 & #7. Some guy decided to make JV black:

Some nice ideas. I like the Raptor name and the claw logo, and don't see any need to change that... in fact, I like their unis too.

I came up with a home/road/alt concept but as a new member, I cannot link my design for 15 days but hopefully the Star will show mine, in which case I would love to hear some honest feedback. (I'll link it to there if they do.)

Longtime lurker, first-time poster, thanks for letting me be a part of this and for being so entertaining!

GO RAPS!!

Can you post it on an image sharing website and just paste the link in your post?

FYI,
as per usual, that Star page is full of cookies, trackers and god-knows-what-other crap. browers be warned.

found the front facing Raptor if anyone wants to use it on a jersey concept

Please don't, people. That's a brontosaurus hand puppet with an eye infection.

Dread, I didn't make the logo. I just found it. It's not my logo design at all. I just found it and liked it and I realized after that people thought I made it which I didn't. I wish I had that kind of design skill.

I think this will work... sorry, I'm also new to image sharing, lol.

If you are able to view it, please let me know what you think. I can handle criticism. I'm not a professional graphic designer (as you'll see in the fact that I couldn't stop the colour from bleeding onto the ball) so I won't be offended.

It may not be clear, but there is a silver stroke on everything (name, number, logo, claws and maple leaf).

Thanks.

I actually like this one the most. love the simplicity and use of cursive.

edit: A lot of the ones on this thread have too much going on, keep it simple. Most of the NBA teams have very simple jerseys.

Cursive seems too wannabe ghetto to me

That's probably because it reminds you of another jersey in the NBA right now. It's essentially the white Clippers Jersey with "Raptors" instead of "Clippers." Same offset number, too.

I personally think this one is sick. Looks a little like Portland, but I don't care.

Appreciate the effort. Not a huge fan of any logo being present on the actual jersey in such a large way like that, especially with the numbering being off to the right as well. It seems to lack symmetry and appears a little too busy for my eyes.

I prefer clean and simple though. My favorite one so far is probably the Brooklyn rip off but only because I wish we would have thought of something that simple, clean, and classic-looking first.

SIMPLE
CLEAN
CLASSIC

SCC for my jersey.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I like clean and simple too but I figured that would be boring for a submission contest.

I appreciate the comments.

* I just noticed that I let the red and black colour run between the legs too so it looks like a skirt... that was not intentional, lol.
