Does the logo matter in any way whatsoever? Are you going to buy a d-league jersey? How many d-league logos were you familiar before now? It doesn't matter. It if looks like it took 5 minutes to make, it actually might have. And that's about how much time it deserves.

You just proved that we have by far the worst logo in the history of the D-League.

Its like the Exec's sat at a table and said, "Look guys, were getting backlash over the last logo, we need to distract them from mess that is the new raptors logo. Make them think its not that bad.....Make the D-League logo even worse. I'm not talking just a bit worse, I mean make it look like something a 5 year old came up with during the commercial break of his/her favorite show. That'll teach them turds to mess with us."

at the end of the day tho, its just the dleague logo and no one cares really. You wont care in a few months guaranteed. If you look at all the logos carefully, you'll realize that they all look like **** except maybe the bayhawks one.

The name and logo look like grade 6 design contest submissions... no offense to grade 6 students.

That's funny cause I've noticed a trend where posters on here are actually more concerned with posting about how meta something is rather than actually contribute to the conversation.

And yes that logo is horrible, the lettering on the 905 looks like the font from a jail tattoo, disgusting.

Design schools in Toronto are pretty weak though so it's no surprise.

This logo is 2 years away from being 2 years away.

So you do care? Even just a little?

I really don't give a rats ass about the logo the point of the dleague team isn't to show how ****ing cool the logo is, it's for developing Bruno, Bebe, Daniels and whatever young players we bring in. This isn't a contest.

This.

I swear this board would rather have the Raps win an award for best D-League logo than actually have the team develop our young talent. Who gives a sh** what the logo looks like.

They should have called the team the 6ix, it would have played along with the Theme of this being Toronto's team.

That's gotta be one of the worst sports names I've ever heard.

We could always do what the Angels in baseball did and call them "The Toronto Raptors 905 of Mississauga". :lol:

What's with people complaining over the logo?! WE HAVE OUR OWN D LEAGUE TEAM FOR NEXT SEASON. It's really good news. Also, the name is just Raptors 905. No mention of Mississauga specifically.

The 905 stretches from Niagara Falls in the west to Northumberland County (Port Hope, Cobourg, Colborne) in the east, excluding Toronto (416/647) of course.

Why is it that this logo looks like it was made in Paint in 5-10 minutes. That being said, who really cares about this logo

B/c this follows in the pattern of this team. Everything has to be from out of left field. Everything they do, they try to be overly creative and different, and just end up looking like amateurs compared to their peers. It ends up reflecting poorly on the franchise and the city.

Drafting out of left field with Bargnani, Bruno, Ross, Villanueva, Graham, etc.

Deciding our end-court font was going to be skewed lettering b/c they want it to look like it's 3D on tv, making it weird to watch inbounds.

The watermelon logo and switching so far away from the colour choices fans have been clamouring for, it's downright ridiculous. Not to mention essentially copying Brooklyn, and waiting longer than any other team between leaked logos and jersey leaks (seriously...every other team with leaked new logos leaked them after the Raps and have already revealed their jerseys).

Now we have the horrible name for the D-League team followed by an even more horrible logo.

It's like amateur hour 24/7 with this franchise.

Every team has ****-ups, whether it's to do with roster moves, the draft, aesthetics, whatever. It's not evidence of some overall philosophy of being out left field.

People are being whiny about everything right now. I'm pretty much a member of the tank brigade, but there's still lot of reasons for not being a suckhole about it. Our situation isn't perfect by any means, and the playoffs sucked, but we have lots of cap room and assets, a good GM, and solid investment from ownership in the infrastructure of organizational success ( training facility, d-league team as examples). We're doing pretty good. You want amateur hour, go look at the Kings/Knicks/Nets/Hornets.
