Raptors are very intimidating and cool looking creatures, you are telling me you can't come up with a cool and dynamic looking logo featuring whole raptor? Charlotte did it with hornet...

Its not worse then the Nets because its the same. If Toronto let's enough time pass they can claim Toronto ripped off them.

I think any type of dinosaur looks too cartoonish. The ball with claw mark can become a classic logo over time.

Once they add some color, the potential is high.

I actually like this design, the red circle around the claw makes the design pretty clean. From a graphic design perspective this is one of the better logos I have seen so far, still needs to be cleaned up though.

It would be a big mistake if they don't use purple as an accent color!

This I can get around...just enough purple but nothing crazy

A basketball. At least we get to argue about font!

I was so pissed when Pistons stuck with this logo, their old one was so much better

I actually like how simple the logo is. Could use some colour, but overall, I'm not complaining.

This **** sucks it looks like the Nets logo/colour scheme. Terrible.

The logo looks very dark & pessimistic, no thx.

If Brooklyn hadn't already had the black/white combo this would be much cooler.

Black/white conicides with the "outsider" type of theme that they're going with with the We The North campaign.

I don't really like it but I'm sure it'll grow on us all.

Does anyone know who they hired to design this? Other than Drake putting in his ideas.

No purple or gold confirmed.

The logo, which depicts a claw mark across a basketball, has been in place for the past “four or five months” according to a Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment spokesman. The new uniforms and colour scheme will be unveiled sometime in the new year. Expect black, silver, white and red to all be involved.

I like mine better.

I am surprised they are using this as their primary logo. Would seem more appropriate as a secondary logo, same idea as the Grizzlies.
