Fans on here have been debating heavily on a name change. There are a big chunk that seem to want Huskies and others that want to keep Raptors. There has been no official comment from MLSE on a name change.

Edit: The most they've said so far is:

“We’re definitely going to take a look at it [name change]. It doesn’t mean we’re committed to it. It means it’s a good conversation. I saw those generic uniforms today in the paper. … That won’t be the uniform, by the way. I can assure you of that. I think we need to have this conversation,”

The Huskies colors and logo has grown on me. I voted Huskies. The Raptors were named after the Jurassic Park fad, let's put that **** behind us already.

Actually, Tim Leiweke said they're considering changing their name. That's as official as you can get.

I can't remember, was he referring it to just the re-brand or specifically the name?
